Beautiful little property. Service was amazing, breakfast was delicious. Only disappointed in the pub being closed on a Monday, but other than that it was a perfect place!

Everything was great. Lovely linens, nice large towels in the bathroom, easy to park outside. Good to have your own front door. The kitchenette had tea and coffee, a microwave and a fridge - perfect for our needs. Alex delivered the breakfast to the door and it was delicious. He was a fabulous host and is doing a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend. Well worthy of the numerous 5 star reviews.

Comfortable. But details need attention. The loo seat needed holding up whether you sat or stood. Breakfast provision was very very disappointing (but no price reduction!) - what is the point of a toaster if there is no crockery - no plates, no bowls. We stayed three nights - we could only face the provided cereals twice. But we were warm, and the bed was comfortable.

short break
We had a very enjoyable stay and Alex is an exceptional host ensuring our stay was trouble free. Great accommodation with little extras provided including cookies, coffee machine and fridge along with a fantastic cooked to order breakfast make this B&B stand out from other accommodation . We will definitely return. There is also a local Pub less than 5 minutes walk away that provides evening meals.

Comfort in Fenland
Stayed for two days before Christmas. A very comfortable and thoughtfully equipped lodge by the most helpfullownerAlexander who served excellent breakfasts cooked to order each morning. Well situated for visiting Cambridge, leaving the car at nearby Swavesey then using guided bus.

It was great to have a separate sitting and dining area with basic kitchen facilities. Unfortunately the mattress was a bit too soft and the quilt a little too warm so we didn't have a very good night's sleep. There was an interesting choice of menu for breakfast and it was delicious. Alexander was an excellent host and very kindly let us check out late.

We were running late, due to heavy traffic, so phoned B&B to ask if later check-in was possible. Alexander told us not to worry, and told us the key code for the key safe box, so we were able to let ourselves in. This meant we were able to relax and enjoy our evening meeting up with friends, without having to go to B&B first.Although it was after 10pm when we arrived, we were still able to choose our breakfast option for the morning, and appreciated the convenience of having it delivered to our door at the time we had requested.

Nice quiet B&B accommodation.
We arrived quite late but Alexander took the time to show us the accommodation and explain how things worked. He also explained about the breakfast options that were on offer. We said that we didn't eat meat, so the sausages were off for us, but he was able to offer vegetarian sausages too. He left us to decide on breakfast and to let him know what we would like. The house is in a very quiet road in the village so there was absolutely no disturbance at all. The accommodation was very comfortable and offered everything which we needed.

Interesting little flat
Stayed here a few times now when in area on business. Does well as a self-contained flat that the owner has added a breakfast-to-the-door service. Wonderful fresh orange juice and coffee in the morning (especially if you like strong coffee to get you started). Always clean and spotless.

Arrived about 5.30pm Nici was waiting and greeted us. Show us to our room and recommended the local pub which gave a 10% discount to visitors to Thorn House This stay was so good we must find another reason to return, not like this visit which was to a friend funeral. Lovely, spotless,cheerful stay with a brilliant hostess. Also a pretty village which deserves a walk around it. All very very friendly, made you feel comfortable.After the pub meal and my breakfast I need to go on a diet !!

Just lovely.
Lovely comfortable accommodation set in a picturesque village.We were greeted by Lesley a friend of the owner.She was looking after the guests whilst the owner Nicky was away for a couple of days.We stayed for three nights,the room was large and extremely comfortable.There was a well stocked tray of refreshments and biscuits,complimentary toiletries a huge television and a truly sumptuous bed.Lesley was delightful,very kind and thoughtful with a lovely sense of humour and thankfully an excellent cook.The breakfast was splendid,a good range of cereals,yogurt and fresh fruit washed down with orange juice,tea or coffee.The full cooked breakfast was made with quality products cooked to perfection.Nicky came back on our third evening and introduced herself to us and asked if we were enjoying our stay.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thorn House and would certainly recommend 5*.

Wonderful accommodation
Thorn House was a lovely place to stay at. Nicky couldn't do enough to help us and make our stay a good one. The accommodation was clean and was to a high standard, everything was explained to us and we were given a voucher for the local pub. We visited the three tuns pub which was lovely and really good food. I would recommend staying here if you would like a quiet place to stay but still close enough to go to Cambridge City Centre.

Clean, pleasant and spacious b & b
I was made to very welcome and given a gratis room upgrade in this very nice b & b. There was free wifi, a nice assortment of toiletries and a very comfy bed. The breakfast was ample and tasty with fresh fruit and yoghurt. All for a very reasonable price. I would recommend this establishment to anyone!
