3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2012

We were initially a bit shocked at the tired condition and decorations when we first got there but decided I give it a go and see how we got on. The room was generally clean, the beds were that little bit too soft as oft they are in these places. The shower and WC were 'interestingly' located in the room... More

This B and B is not good value for money. Rooms are very dated, cramped, and poorly maintained. We had no hot water on arrival. Service was rude and abrupt and a far cry from the friendly B and B service you would expect. Avoid this. More

Upon arrival I was rudely told off by the landlady for calling the number displayed on the front door under a sign saying 'please call' !! Landlady informed me she was not always there and gave me all the keys for our party. She did not greet the rest of the party- I could have let anyone in! Rooms were... More

Booked this online after a decent star rating from AA. Boy their standards must be low. I booked a twin room, asked for an early breakfast. They only had a double and there was no such thing as an early breakfast. Service was abrupt, no ID requested (what sort of place is this?!) very small terraced house, busy road out... More

As an American, a hotel is mainly used for 2 things...showering and sleeping. This place is not good for either. The shower has a box that controls the water...if there was any...absolutely NO water pressure. The trickle you get is either too hot or too cold...there is no warm. I have not washed my hair all week...UGH!!! Taking a sponge... More

Me and my friend were looking online for a nice b&b to stay in for an overnight trip to Cambridge for my birthday. Brooklands website is lovely and didn't mind paying £68 as it looked so nice. Included in this price was supposedly central heating, telephones, free wifi, freeview tv. When we arrived we had to ring to see where... More

I had arranged a surprise night away for my husband to Cambridge to explore the beautiful city and take some time to relax. I wanted to keep costs down so looked to book somewhere outside of the main city centre (Brooklands is a 20 minute walk into town and is a bit cheaper than the city at £70 a night).... More
