+ On our arrival we were met by Jack at reception. He was very courteous, professional, polite, friendly and welcoming. Small things really do make the difference. The hotel was very comfortable and clean including the public areas , bars and public toilets. We had a long day's travel and I was in need of a cafe break Jack set us up with a complementary tea and coffee. We went and sat at a table and he gave us a bar of chocolate to share. Throughout our stay he took time to chat and offer local advice / knowledge. There was a complementary breakfast included in the price which consisted of Cumberland sausages, Backed Bacon, Scrambled eggs tomatoes, hash browns and beans. There was also a selection of cereals, yoghurts and mixed berries. Also available was a selection of breads, rolls, croissants and muffibs. I would definitely recommend this place and I will absolutely be returning. On our arrival we were met by Jack at reception. He was very courteous, professional, polite, friendly and welcoming....

+ This was my second stay here of the week, the first was cut short as my wife was still in surgery in Addenbrookes so I was put up on site. The staff remembered me, gave me a room upgrade and free parking. Had a good chat with the manager who had been through similar things. Great buffet style Breakfast included in the price.. Very convienient location for the Hospital.
− The car parking again is confusing and could cost £16 per night if you are not careful.
