Modern tech, but could use a few tweaks
A stunning farm and hotel, with a good atmosphere and conveniently located. There are a few things that I think need tweaking, however: I booked via the app and was allocated a room with a digital key, which worked perfectly, but this doesn't allow access to the building with the coffee and snack room (which requires a fob). Once I did have access to this room, the coffee machine was a huge source of frustration and painfully slow with it's transactions. After 10 mins of arguing with it, I eventually gave up. The heating was switched off (unless I'm being daft, but the radiators were warm initially) during the night - while I understand the need for this, it makes it unpleasant for guests arriving late to the hotel. There were no extra blankets so it ended up being an uncomfortably cold night. Lastly, the mattress in room H4 could do with some updating as I could feel the springs in it.

Peaceful, beautiful location for a relaxing break.
Lovely peaceful location, with the added extra of horses and sheep on the grounds. Hotel rooms basic but clean and hygienic. Close to Cambridge town centre around a 10min drive away as well as a local garden centre; a place to have breakfast and a local pub (5* food was amazing) called The Plough and Cotton.

Great location very quiet and room was clean, check in was a faff without the traditional reception area, however understand to keep room prices better than expected that v xxx it’s need to be reduced, I would make it more clear on the booking page as I can imagine it will frustrate more less technical minded. One big advice would be to invest in a mattress, unfortunately the one in our room was way to cheap and you could feel the 5 springs that it had!
