Unfair charges

At it's most basic, Rectory Hall is completely fine. I have stayed here a few times for work in Cambridge. All the rooms I stayed in are perfectly fine. The problem is the ambiguous and unfair charging policy. This time I was charged for parking overnight. No explanation was given. My card was just charged. I did choose to have breakfast for the 1st time in ages, which is £16. Not only is it overpriced but it is poor-average.

A Disappointing Stay

The room was comfortable and quiet. However the bathroom was cold. We worked out how to switch on the towel rail from outside the room. In the cold weather it needed to be switched on. The breakfast service was well meaning but rather chaotic. Our main concern was that the room was not made up after our first night and tea, coffee, milk were not replaced. It has the potential to be very good but seemed to be run on a shoestring.

Nice place but watch out for the parking surcharge

Well priced accommodation and pleasant stay. Just disappointing that after choosing this hotel for its price and quiet location, we then got charged £5 for parking to stay at a fairly rural location is called ‘Rectory Farm’ & all around are fields, not usually somewhere you’d expect to have to pay a surcharge for?

Nice place

Nice king size bed and big shower for 2 people. Bed comfortable and house and grounds beautiful. Only issue can hear next rooms plugging into sockets and doors closing which woke us up.

Traditional British Cottage Feel

We reserved one of the smaller rooms and it was adequate for our stay. Traditional British cottage feel. It’s a bit outside of Cambridge so getting to places to eat etc, you had to walk 20-25 mins to the few nearby restaurants or taxi around. The setting however is beautiful.

Convenient for Cambridge; no frills but clean and everything we needed. Would have said good value for money but very disappointing that a charge for car parking has been introduced.

I have been visiting this property for more than a year now. It has its pros n cons. Rooms are generally clean but dated. There is no air-conditioning, so if you are going in summers, its a big no-no. Then in winters as well, the heating in the rooms is very ineffective. And the toilets are freezing cold. In the name of toiletries all you get is 1 small soap bar. The washbasins and shower areas are usually clogged a bit, and collect water. Parking used to be free, but now there is a £5 charge. Check-in time is 4pm and if you arrive early, just be in your car. In the name of service you hardly get any. There is a self-service coffee/snacks area which is just in 1 building, which has paid vending machine. So i would say avoid if the weather is too hot or too cold, or you are looking for any luxury. Its a pretty much self-service Lodge, which can be ok and for me it kind of works if I am looking for a night stay with 0 facilities.

Cold experience

Cold experience as the windows were single glazed the heater was noisy and 1 of the radiators wasn’t working. Reception wasn’t open after breakfast so we found the manager the kitchen. Explained our problems including lack of electrical sockets and the flush needing to be pressed twice. All these points were (outwardly) gratefully received

Excellent!

This is a stylish, warm, comfortable hotel. The room was in pristine condition. Bed comfortable.The shower was modern and excellent. The breakfast was top-notch. On the downside it was essential to keep the windows closed as the M 11 is very close. Also the carpark, reception and hotel are separate from each other. In the rain that would be a REAL drag. I recommend you park outside Reception the drive to the hotel then park. Also there are stairs we did not know about. At 87 and 78 that can be a challenge.
