Thank you for your comments. Having read the booking I was under the impression that our location was what you required, also you were room only, so the breakfast assessment was intriging.

Guest Review:
We all had a great time Bob, thank you to you and Barbara for a lovely stay...Also to "something brown" as my grandson James called Rufus...sorry Rufus. We are already talking about making this a regular trip so you may well see us all again in 2011. Barry Westwood.

Home away from home:

Working in Swindon but living in Cambridge makes it a bit difficult to commute. This B&B offers a nice place to stay, good food and is affordable. The room is large enough, the shower ( I had the room with the walk-in shower) is a treat. Powerfull, hot and spacious. I have stayed at 4**** hotels without this. The meals, within reason, can be cooked to one's wishes and are always plentyfull.
