"Whilst our overall experience was very good it was let down by two things :
1. On arrival there was no-one on the reception desk to enable us to check in and no-one was in any hurry to try and find someone to check us in.
2. For our evening meal, again there was distinct lack of staff around once our meal had been served. On finishing our meal we waited for someone/anyone to at least speak to us but as no-one was around we simply left."
"If the mattress was good I would have given a full 10, but unfortunately it was severely dipped, The room however was very nice with quality touches."
"An outstanding property, I couldn’t fault this place. Very clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The host was very professional at check in. Very secure for parking. I will definitely stay here again if visiting the area. Shops only 5 minutes walk. A true home from home feel from start to finish"
"The rooms. at the Essex Golf and Country Club are very nice and super clean. Be aware there is no in-room ac that we could find and just the smallest desk fan in the room but perhaps this is only an issue for 3 weeks a year!
We arrived late (9.30pm) and check was smooth, went to the room and unpacked and notice in the room directory suggested the bar was open until 10.30pm. We meander up only to be informed that last orders was at 10pm so we would only be permitted to purchase one drink. Then...
"If you're visiting Duxford Imperial War Museum, or Cambridge, you won't find a better place to stay.
Cambridge and the Duxford Airfield and Museum are only 30 minutes away, with very light traffic most of the time. The motel-like accommodation is great, clean and modern with everything you need. The staff are very affable, and the food is simple but very good.
And of course there's a well-stocked bar.
The prices are very keen, and there is a large car park. What more could you want?"
