The breakfast menu was straightforward, comprehensive and the food (full English etc) was superb. The staff were extremely helpful and were keen to ensure you got what you wanted. The evening menu was, again straightforward with food of great quality and with good portions.. (restaurant and bar not open Mon/Tues but local options in nearby Elmsworth were both worth a visit). Good location....easy to get to from the Cambridge Services turn off with good access to Cambridge and the surrounding area.

The lighting and heating were on a timed feed and this meant that the corridors were dark at this (late Autumn) time of year. Perhaps lights controlled by sensors could be an option? Not a deal changer anyway.

The hotel is really quaint ,and the thatch roof is a real feature. The garden at the back of the restaurant is open to guests and is really pretty. The situation is perfect,being a little removed from the business of Cambridge Town. The owners are really lovely,genuinely friendly and good to their guests. The food is great. Fabulous portions and plenty on offer at breakfast too. Highly recommend 👌

On arrival the Golden Ball was a very charming pub, very well presented with lovely hanging baskets of flowers out front . The breakfasts were very well catered for, and the breakfast room was very well presented, it had a real charm to it with a lovely view to the well kept garden. We enjoyed a nice conversation with our hosts Stephen and Sarah . The room in the barn was very comfortable with a king sized bed, and everything was nice and clean .

Food was absolutely beautiful, we couldn't have asked for more! The host Sarah ?(I think) was such a happy jolly person, nothing was too much trouble. Very attentive. Fantastic, we will definitely return!

Erm......NOTHING, it was perfect! The only concern but not a criticism was portion size on evening meal was too large for our appetite, that being said, when requested a half portion that was no trouble whatsoever!

It's a beautiful little thatched inn with plenty of parking space and we had a lovely room with a good tv, easy to use shower and a chocolate bar each for us when we turned up with plenty of drinks to go with them. The dining area/bar is very nicely decorated and the staff were very friendly and hard working, also with regards to the food it was excellent quality/quantity and in the morning as part of the full cooked breakfast I got two fried eggs, baked beans and fried bread, as well as the cereals and toast - ticks all the boxes as far as I'm concerned. I reckon it would also be a good base for visiting Cambridge, St Ives and the Swiss Garden at Biggleswade.

Unfortunately, just one little thing the lights on the mirror did'nt work in the bathroom.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and always eager to help out. Situated just outside Cambridge, the location is charming, especially with the scenic footpath down the lane that shouldn't be missed. Breakfast is fantastic, and the convenience of the park and ride, just a 10-minute drive away, makes exploring Cambridge a breeze. With its delightful setting and delicious food, and a good selection of beers this hotel is brillant and worth a stay

The breakfast options were good, but we had cereal and toast, just right. The staff were super friendly and helpful. One of the main meal options promised 'confit of duck' was not available, but we had a nice alternative. The hotel is very quiet and comfortable situated in a rural landscape with lovely thatched buildings about. Parking was excellent and all within easy access to the motorway and Cambridge.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Friendly and obliging Comfortable and clean Very good breakfast

Closed until late afternoon although you can access your room When we returned to the hotel late afternoon after a full day out we would have liked to have been able to get a drink Not really a hotel, more a B&B, although breakfast was not included in the price

We were travelling to Stansted airport and felt that this would be the perfect overnight stop close to Cambridge. We visited Cambridge but note that this is a 20 minute drive away. We discovered beautiful gardens, a peaceful village and great service! We had dinner in the evening and thank Amanda for her wonderful and friendly service. Breakfast was great and attentive service one again. Such friendly, helpful staff and delicious food.

The decor of the room felt a little tired and perhaps is in need of an update but that was a minor issue. Overall we had a very good experience!

I had booked this for my parents to break their journey travelling some distance. This is only a short detour off the main road. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The landlady was very welcoming and really looked after them. Their evening meal was very good too.

Small issue with sink plug not fitting well.
