Stayed for one night, had a comfortable night's sleep however our room was overlooking the road so was a little noisy when going to bed at approx 10pm, but I stoll managed to get to sleep fine. There was no iron on site so please take your own if needed.The staff were very welcoming and pleasant from arrival in the evening to leaving the next evening. Full breakfast was good I spent most of the day working in the pub, it was quiet enough for most of the day to get on with work and take calls. It's a 5-minute walk to the station (if that) and a 15-20 minute walk into the city centre.

My mum and husband stayed for her husbands birthday as a surprise this weekend. The room was disgusting, the sheets were marked and had black hair on, stains on the towels, lampshades broken and dirty, nets hanging hanging off, tv didn’t work and was reported and staff never came to fix when they said they would. The hallway the light didn’t work so was dark and it smelt of cigarette smoke. Staff rude . Went for breakfast all tables sticky and food certainly isn’t as advertised neither are the rooms, man on table next to them complained to staff his sausages were still frozen. Had to pay in cash as card machine wasn’t working and they couldn’t provide a receipt. Will never return.

Perfectly presentable pub hotel. Rooms are large & warm (in January when we visited at 4°C outdoors) & surprisingly quiet, especially given that the busy main road isn't far away. Car park for residents behind a barrier. Bed much more comfortable than it first appears.

Probably the saddest burger I've had in the last decade. Only burger and bread, and just a little bit of lettuce. Way more bread than burger, so be ready to eat bread on its own. I asked to the waiter if that was it, and they told me I should have asked for extras. However said extras weren't offered at the time of purchase.I don't know, maybe it's my ignorance. Maybe "Derby burger" commonly means "Sad burger" and I didn't know.The service was nice, hence the second star.

Not happy with the atmosphere. Loud sports are always on TV even when nobody is watching.Food quality is low.Staff seem super annoyed and looking like someone has forced them to work there.

I didn't stay in the hotel, just went to pub for dinner. Pub looks nice and welcoming from the outside. Unfortunately food was awful. I've ordered a burger and I was served with a bread roll and package ready meat. No sauces, no vegetables. Just dry overcooked meat with bread. It was served with cold fries and coleslaw. I'm not a Karen, I don't normally write bad comments but I also haven't had so bad food for a long time. Waitresses didn't even asked how the meal was, I think because she didn't want to hear people's complaints.

Everytime I go back to Cambridge I try to come here. The customer service it's good. It's a quiet place next to the station to have breakfast. The croissant filled with cheese was amazing.

Maybe they were having an off day. Poor beer selection unless you're a lager fan. Had pint of Yardbird and left half. Witnessed one bloke sending his food back and generally didn't enjoy the experience. Like I say benefit of the doubt and let's put it down to experience. Shame really, it used to be so good.

Stopped for a lunchtime pint and bite to eat. Good Greene King IPA and awesome BLT with a massive amount of chips and salad, value for money and service was friendly, recommended if ever in the area
