Nice location, but they dont have aircon in the rooms
Cons:

No aircon. The Google profile clearly states aircon, but actually only 50% of the rooms have aircon. Staff even apologised as they said “it happens all the time, we’ve asked to have the description updated, but it still is wrong”. So we had no aircon, a window that opens 8 inches and a room that was hotter than the outside 34°C. Not nice.

Great place - Highly recommended
Pros:

Breakfast was Ab Fab and staff were superb. Great choice of food and fully aware of Allergen options. Breakfast area was spacious and loads of room to sit. Room was clean comfortable and spacious and generally quite cool bearing in mind the weather. The grounds of the hotel are superb and they have a bar with local beers and bar food. The hotel is close to the local Hinxton Village which has a good pub the Red Lion good beers and great food.

Cons:

Unfortunately the room doors slam quite hard and loud so from 07.30 onwards we could hear people going for breakfast. we stayed in Willow block. Other then that no issues.

Pros:

The closeness to Duxford. The peace and quiet

Cons:

The bed was not good for a disabled person too soft, the door was hard to get in how a disabled person in a wheelchair on there own would manage i don't know. The room wad so cold, we didn't stop for breakfast so can't tell you how it was.. very expensive for what it is.

Lovely place, but if taking guests at weekends need to have senior staff on call to rectify issues,
Pros:

The location of the hotel and surroundings were beautiful. Be aware it is predominantly a conference centre open during the week and I am sure for that the facilities are excellent. The cleanliness of the room and hotel were excellent. The limited food available (which we were made aware of before our stay) was excellent. Breakfast was freshly cooked and excellent. As the hotel was so quiet over the weekend, the Chef was the only one in the restaurant and he was very kind and attentive. The barman on the evening of our stay was pleasant and as helpful as can be.

Cons:

The staffing over the weekend is minimal with nobody in authority available to sort out any issues. There was a fault on the fire alarm bleeping loudly in the building where we were staying. We were very disappointed that we had not been assigned a garden view room as requested (and confirmed) instead we were on an upper floor with a view only of a concrete balcony. The 2 staff on site did not have authority to change us to another room. They showed us one other but this was an accessible room which was not suitable because we couldn't get in the shower for positioning of the chair. We were advised to speak to reception in the morning, but this was pointless as we were only booked for the one night. Security did come out to turn the alarm off after we'd reported it.
