Willingham House

Stayed here while working in the area. Has been recently bought by another company, and has been undergoing lots of renovation. Rooms are well equipped and comfortable. It’s an Apart hotel type setup, so self check in which was easy, and self catering which suited me. Would definately stay here again.

The bed was comfortable but standard double not king size as indicated when booking. Set in very good grounds. Say its a B&B but there is no breakfast. Checking was lock box, very hard to open for key; and near impossible to close when you leave and have to put key back in lock box. Lid of toilet seat kept closing while you were using it. Shower very good but hard to work out how to get it to hot water. TV had no normal TV, seemed only to access smart TV if you had an account or LG TV. Only one small carton of milk so had to buy some. Small deck but chair very uncomfortable. No comfortable seating, had to sit on bed. Room was in side annex and a bit small and shabby. Glad we were only booked for one night, would not have stayed for a secound night. Will not be staying here again. Or recomending it. Over priced for what they offer. Pity, as with the grounds, better rooms and breakfast it could be a wonderful place to stay.

I stayed at Willingham House for two nights with my company. The room was comfortable and had everything I wanted eg Big TV with Netflix, fridge, microwave, very comfy bed and en-suite. My room overlooked the beautiful grounds. The area is beautiful and has nearby shops and a fantastic Indian restaurant 100 metres away. Each morning I went for a run enjoying the peaceful countryside with deer running in the fields. I will definitely go back again. They also have conference rooms and a communal kitchen, which were ideal for our work meetings. Parts of the property were being refurbished as the owners are upgrading.

What a beautiful property! I had to book here last minute, the house is under construction, looks like it was just taken over with new Owners. The manager was so accommodating. It’s self check-in, which was nice and easy. The garden was massive. Can’t wait to come back when the renovation is done.

Quite the most awful place we have ever stayed at and would never return. Did not see a soul so obviously no welcome. Had to ask for a tv but there was nowhere to out it. It was a huge tv which had to be put at the side of the bed balanced between a coffee table and a chair. No aerial so no live tv. Cracked toilet pan. Toilet seat not fixed properly and when flushing the works in the cistern crashed on the inside of the lid and raised it. We could go on and on but let’s leave it there as a most unfortunate experience . Never again

Not bad but could be a lot better. Liked · Quiet. Located in a pleasant village. The place has character, unlike a Travelodge, which are mostly all the same. Two food shops nearby open till 10pm. Village Bakery close by. Indian restaurant very close. Pub within a 2-3 minute drive or a 10 minute (or less) walk. Also liked the (relatively) reasonable rates. I'm including a photo of the picturesque 'stable' where there is a basic 'contiental' breakfast. I come to Cambridge frequently and would consider staying again but I would hope that points below would be adressed. Disliked · 1. Sheets and Duvet cover had the feeling of not being professional washed by a proper laundry service. These need to go to a professional laundry service so they come back nice and fresh and crisp. Also, the detergent used is too 'perfumy'. Sheets should just smell neutral and fresh, but not perfumed. This is not something that a hotel should skimp on. 2. There is no welcome or greeting of any kind at the B & B. This feels cold and a bit unnerving. 3. Heat was not on at night at all. From about 10:30 pm to 7am. I know it's expensive to heat at the moment, but still... 4. Nice that breakfast is offered, but unfortunately, none of the breakfast items are very good. Cereal is some cheap brand, and pastries are of the packaged and preserved kind. You're better off going to get a fresh pastry at the nearby bakery. (Yes, an actual bakery about 3 minutes walk.) Overall there was a bit of a feeling of neglect and also a bit of trying to run the place remotely, 'on the cheap'. The place has a few things going for it but could be so much better. Hope to see some improvement on my next visit!
