The Dukes Head Hotel

8/10 Good
"Had a two night weekend break. Arrived earlier than checkin time but were able to leave the car in the carpark - note there is £15 per 24 hr fee. When we did checkin my partner's birthday was acknowledged and our room was upgraded! Room was spacious. A little worn in places but overall clean and comfortable. Had drinks in the bar but ate out other than breakfast. Breakfast was all buffet style but worked well. Would stay again if returning to the area."

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good
"A unique location, very quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. A few miles away from Cambridge city centre and a 10 minute's drive from Duxford airfield. I would have expected shampoo/shower gel though, but there's a Sainsbury's around the corner. Sadly, a breakfast option at the premises is not offered, but can be done at Coton Orchards not far away. Two great gastro-pubs nearby for dining. Very friendly staff, will definitely consider to return."
