The bed was comfortable and the staff welcoming, but the steep stairs to the bedrooms were a drawback.

Arriving on a Sunday, I could only communicate with staff via intercom, and there was no restaurant, reception, or bar; they told me nothing was available that day, so we left.

The staff were friendly and the building had old charm, with a comfy bed and good shower, yet the property needed updating and a deep clean; it felt dark and dingy, the meals were subpar, and the room was drafty with gaps around the old sash windows that made it freezing.

Rooms are simple but comfortable. Location perfect for Duxford visit. Restaurant poor (frozen food then oven heated until dry) and breakfast extremely slow and lots of options out of stock. Staff squabbling in view of customers. Shame as the building is nice enough and indeed historic but kitchen and front of house need a makeover
