Lisa is a cheerful, friendly and excellent host. Our room was warm and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. USB ports, sockets near mirror (for the hairdryer) and a handy little extension socket tower on the dressing table. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was warm with lovely toiletries. The breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and first class products. The only small thing we would mention was the bedroom door rattled every time somebody opened or closed another door in the corridor. It didn’t disturb our sleep as by then the hotel was quiet. We should have mentioned it at the time but we’d had such a pleasant stay it slipped our mind. We came to The Old School Rooms to meet up with friends, we enjoyed a chat and catch-up in the lounge before we went out for dinner. The location suited us perfectly, a bus ride into Cambridge and bus-stops just outside.

Really lovely little place in the perfect position in central Waterbeach with easy access to Cambridge on the train. The property is self check in but we did see the hosts who were friendly and very helpful in pointing us in the right direction for an evening out. Our room was lovely. Clean, comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities (complete with cookies) and a decent shower with Rituals toiletries, which was a nice treat. There is a good hairdryer (not one attached to the wall in the bathroom) and a mini fridge with some bottles of water which were very welcome after a long day out and about in warm weather. Our stay ended with a lovely full English breakfast to set us up for the day. Perfect. Would definitely recommend staying here and we will be returning fairly soon ourselves.

This venue was perfect for our needs. My husband and I were attending a concert at Newmarket Races with our daughter and her husband. Our rooms were compact but all our possible needs were met and we were really impressed with the level of attention to detail. The bathroom was lovely! Spacious, and spotless and we really appreciated the high quality toiletries provided. Breakfast was superb! The fruit salad was exceptional! Our hosts were professional, attentive and incredibly lovely! As a family, we would highly recommend!!!

Nothing!

I have been asked by my sister and brother in law to write a review as that is too technical for them. They stayed at the Old School House for two nights in the beginning of October 2023. It is beginning to be very repetitive. As everybody else has already said, we found this B&B outstanding. The owners have thought about everything in minute detail. One cannot think of anything that they have not anticipated. Apart from that, it is absolutely spotless. The breakfast is incredibly generous. In short, a wonderful place to spend time. Last but not Lisa, Lisa is very, very friendly.

There was nothing not to like

This was a very last minute stay and we only had a couple of essential overnight emergency items with us so was great to find bedside fans, USB chargers, hairdryer and a smart TV with Netflix - I was able continue watching The Crown:). Bathroom had a lovely big shower and great to find shampoo & conditioner which was a life saver for me. Plenty of places to eat within a short walk or there was a lovely conservatory which we didn't use but looked like there was everything you'd need if you were having a takeaway or had say a microwave meal to heat up. We had a great night's rest in the comfy bed with absolutely no disturbances from other guests - a very peaceful place indeed! Didn't think it could get much better but the next morning we were served a delicious freshly cooked breakfast to our order. Lisa, the owner was lovely and made us feel very welcome and noticed she was very attentive to all the guests. I did notice there were a few couples who were returning customers and I can definitely understand why. Not sure if we will ever find ourselves in that part of the world again but I know if we did we would definitely be back - this place had everything for a comfortable relaxing stay - very impressed!!!!

Can't fault it

Very comfortable large bed. Well equipped en-suite with walk-in shower. Bonus to have a guests' sitting room with comfy sofas and coffee/tea making facilities. Also the opportunity to eat a take-away meal in this room. Good choice at breakfast - all freshly prepared and cooked once we had sat down. Friendly owners. Would definitely recommend others to stay here. Walking distance to railway station.

Central location in village opposite local bus stop into Cambridge. All facilities on ground floor. Secure off-road parking. Quiet, comfortable rooms, walk in shower & good quality toiletries. Pre ordered breakfast, individually cooked, with self service cereals, toast & drinks. Guests quiet area with facilities to prepare self contained food.

Currently a shortage of local restaurants, need car.

Cleanliness, quiet, comfy bed, didn't use hospitality tray but it was there.

Cold water tap would not turn on so hot water got too hot no way of cooling it down thought I would leave it in sink for a while to cool but it ebbed away. Also lock on door did not lock from outside so was a bit worried about leaving room unlocked although I must add external security was ok .

The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. A really comfortable bed. Breakfast was very nice. I discovered that I had lost my watch but my room was checked and they got back to me. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

The breakfast form was a bit confusing. I don't have a mobile phone and therefore I didn't receive the message with the door code. I appreciate that I am in the minority.

Comfortable and clean with refurbished rooms. Excellent facilities and breakfast. Quiet and safe location. Owners were outstanding and could not do enough. Would definitely stay again. Finally, safe off-road parking and the so convenient PR5 bus to Cambridge picks up directly opposite the guest house.
