Perfect B&B

Very comfortable, clean, updated B&B in a beautiful small village just a few miles from Cambridge. Very welcoming owner and great made-to-order breakfasts. Definitely recommend.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great B&B to stay at.

Great B&B to stay at. USB sockets in the bedside lamps; tea and coffee in the room; coffee machine, fridge and microwave in the guest lounge; plenty of choice for breakfast; a fan in the room was most welcome; shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided as well as lovely towels and face cloths.

Lovely property with great breakfast (really good coffee and fruit juice) - Convenient for Waterbeach station and trains into Cambridge and Newmarket.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We decided at the last minute to break our journey on a bank-holiday weekend, from West Midlands to the East End of London and booked 'The Old School House Rooms' on chance and we were so pleased that we found them. It would be difficult to find fault with any aspect of the stay particularly for the price. Thoroughly recommend

We stayed for one night while on business The building is a quirky old place and had been a school! The large rooms have been divided into a number of cosy well appointed rooms Check in was self service and very well organised Ordering breakfast was via a well designed form Lisa and Phil are lovely and we met them at breakfast! Breakfast is one of the best I've ever had, all freshly cooked by Phil! Highly recommended

Comfortable hotel in peaceful setting

We enjoyed a short stay here in a quaint village whilst visiting Newmarket races. The comfortable rooms are newly refurbished and the area very quiet and peaceful, with several pubs to eat. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay here again

Cambridge Sightseeing

Stayed for two nights, visiting Cambridge but wanting to avoid the city-centre hotels. Great location - Waterbeach Station is 5 mins walk from where its 2 stops / £3 to Cambridge Central. Accommodation was ideal. Lisa made arrival simple, and the room was comfortable, quiet and well equipped. Breakfast was delicious and Lisa very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.
Philip, 2-night trip

Well worth a visit

This is a very nice, small hotel. All units on the ground floor. Excellent service and very good breakfast. Posh towels and toiletries. Good signage, but SatNav can take you to a pub, which is actually across a green park area from another street with the same name. Their sign is black and you park in the back of the property. The staff were all very kind. Lots of great coffee pods and tea and cookies are provided. A sweet little place and we hope to go again.

Overnight stay

We stayed overnight as we were in the area to look at a greenhouse. Great stay and very comfortable - massive bed! Self check in worked fine. Breakfast was included and was delicious abd plentiful. Could not anyone to say bye to and thank you so self check out too. Yea at local pubs - they were fine. Handy for Cambridge as was just 20 mins away.,
Sally, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a warm and cozy place. Love the old time architecture of the school building. Lisa was a wonderful host, and we had a very enjoyable chat with her over breakfast! We also met one of her staff, Faye, who was also very sweet - or “lovely” as the British like to say! Lol It’s all about the people when we stay at BNBs and these ones were top-notch! And this includes Lisa’s partner - whose name has slipped my mind! 😂 Remember, Lisa, you have my contact info should Faye like to get in touch with me!

"Rooms" does not do this fab gem justice

I wondered how a little independent could rate so many 10/10 scores. Now I know! Totally surprised by this lovely accommodation (cocooned in quiet, we didn't even realise there were other guests staying). Despite having worked in 5 star hotel chains, this little gem exceeded my expectations in every way. Wonderful bed, bedside lamps with integrated USB chargers, delicious breakfast. Generous tea/coffee/biscuits in the glass conservatory. Can't recommend highly enough. Charming building opposite the village green, easy check-in instructions despite us worrying about out-of-hours arrival time.

8/10 Very good

Godt, roligt sted. Lækker morgenmad. God parkering

Dejligt sted i fredelige og rolige omgivelser. Fantastisk morgenmad. Vi håber dog, at hotels.com vil gøre bedre opmærksom på, at man skal kontakte stedet før ankomst, da man eller sikke kan komme ind. Vi ankom kl. 15 (indtjekningstid) og måtte stå ude i regnen i næsten en halv time, før vi blev lukket ind af nogle andre gæster, der tilfældigvis var der. Vi havde prøvet at ringe på hovednummeret, men der blev ikke svaret, så vi anede ikke, hvad vi skulle gøre. En af gæsterne havde et mobilnummer på ejeren, så det lykkedes os at få at vide, hvilket værelse vi skulle bo i samt en kode til hoveddøren. Det var meget utilfredsstillende. Der står på hjemmesiden, at der er daglig rengøring, men da vi kom tilbage til værelset efter en lang dags sightseeing, lå vores våde håndklæder stadig på gulvet, og der var ikke gjort rent. Da vi sagde det til ejeren, sagde hun, at det var pga covid-restriktioner, at de ikke havde lov til at gå ind på værelset uden vores tilladelse. Vi var ikke blevet spurgt og forstod heller ikke, at der fortsat var restriktioner. Vi fik så rene og tørre håndklæder. så det endte meget fint og vil anbefale stedet, hvis det bliver bedre kommunikeret, hvordan man kommer ind, og hvilke restriktioner der eventuelt er.
