My room was lovely - beautifully decorated and comfortable. I fully appreciate the hotel's efforts to be environmentally conscious, which is evident in their limited toiletries and towels.  …

I was visiting Cambridge and stayed at the Rectory Farm Hotel. The price was very reasonable. The hotel is in a rural setting with field all around and you approach the hotel up a long driveway. …

I had very much looked forward to this two night break meeting up with an old friend. On arrival very impressive. I had booked two premium rooms way back in April and paid the full amount. …

A lovely little gem of a retreat that was situated close enough to visit Cambridge. The owner was friendly and helpful. There was a nice walk to the local gastro pub. The room was just perfect and the bed was comfy. Would recommend and will return.

Another lovely, uncomplicated stay at Rectory Farm with the nice surprise of an upgrade too! I was lucky enough to have a huge room in the main house with gorgeous views and lovely seating area - wish I could have stayed longer:). As usual the bed was super comfortable and I had a great night's sleep.

Tip, read Tripadvisor beforehand and watch out!|A very odd experience, there is no contact with staff. Rooms are clean but dated, with no toiletries. There is no breakfast option. …

Ok location, (not amazing in my opinion) however rooms are terrible, needs a complete refurbishment, my room literally looked like a grandma's house. Yet they still had the audacity to charge £50 for deposit, when probably all the items in the room would worth less than £50. Deposit is refunded upon check out. To be fair even for fairly cheap nightly rate, can't say place worth a try. Do not even have a restaurant in the facility, I just had a grandma's bed in a tiny room.Place looks ok in photos, but just from outside in my opinion.
