“This 16th-century thatched inn, a short drive from Cambridge, provides a notably cozy atmosphere, including family-friendly amenities such as enclosed beer gardens and children's play areas. The commitment to local and fresh ingredients shines through in the dining experiences. While some rooms reflect the building's age, the high standard of hospitality and attention to detail, like the branded chocolates, makes this a worthwhile choice.”
