Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Multiple guests reported unclean rooms (stains on sheets and toilet seat, grubby lift, shower doors needing cleaning); a few mentions of clean rooms/sheets, but overall cleanliness is below average.
Service
8.9
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful (several positive call-outs, notably Becky); however, there are reports of slow check-in, disorganisation and occasional rudeness—overall service is a strong point with some operational inconsistencies.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised for being conveniently located for IWM Duxford and the train station; highly convenient for visitors despite some noise from a nearby A-road.
Room Quality
6.9
Rooms are functional but several guests reported significant issues (air conditioning not working in rooms, noisy location, blocked shower drain, booking mix-ups such as missing twin rooms), lowering perceived room quality.
Amenities
7.2
Mixed experience: lift and some facilities worked well, but air conditioning was inconsistent, toiletries were sometimes missing, and there is an unexpected paid parking charge—amenities are adequate but unreliable at times.
Value for Money
8.2
Several guests noted good value compared to other hotels, though the unexpected £10/night parking fee negatively impacted perceptions of overall value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast received strong positive feedback (fresh bread, croissants, good cooked breakfast); minor issues noted (missing fruit salad, limited information about evening meals), but food offering is a clear strength.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall a convenient and comfortable choice for short stays with friendly staff and good location; however, problems with cleanliness, room climate/noise and occasional service disorganisation produce a mixed but generally positive overall impression.

Just the hotel we needed for this journey
Pros:

The man on the reception desk was very welcoming when we arrived late in the evening (which was much appreciated as we had travelled a long way and were very tired). I found all the staff to be helpful and friendly

Cons:

Perhaps signposting to the hotel could be improved.

Comfortable stay and excellent breakfasts, very helpful friendly staff
Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a good location for transport links, and clean and comfortable, with great breakfasts, and also excellent evening light meals and snacks.

Cons:

The bedside lights were broken, but this was fixed with a change of room straight away when we asked. Also had to ask for extra pillows, as only one provided.

Pros:

Lovely that our dog could join us ie dog friendly.
Staff first class and so helpfull. Breakfast was 10 out of 10.
Shame it was only 1 nights stay.l

Cons:

At breakfast I was asked if I had paid, which i had on arrival ie car parking, dog payment plus 2 breakfast .payments. My payment was NOT listed or my room number(06) listed on the A4 listing sheet.
Please would it be possible to have a recipe to show once payment has been made?

head in sand leadership staff & customers suffered.
Pros:

Location near to IWM Duxford

Cons:

Short staffed during airshow I think it was last minute but management should have a contingency for this, especially at peak times….waiting hours for food on Sunday.

Needs some extra room cleaning checks
Pros:

Spacious room. Close to where we needed to go.

Cons:

Bathroom shower wasn't clean. Dirty white marks on the tiles. Suspect hairs on the shower tray. Dirty marks around the shower tray base. An empty water bottle inside the safe! Very random. It seems as though the room hadn't been checked after cleaning, just hoping it had been. Lack of pillows, needed to ask for an extra 2 as only 2 on the bed.

Decent hotel with grreat staff
Pros:

Staff quickly amended the error made when we were given an uncleaned room. We were givena different room, and an evening meal to apologise.

Cons:

The name B&B is confusing as it's not a Bed and breakfast..its the name of the hotel chain

Pros:

On site parking and close ot Duxford Air Museum

Cons:

No fault of the hotel, but because it is close to Duxford - it also means you are nowhere near anything else
