I stayed in the converted barn. It was right next to the pub. The room was quite large. I found the staff friendly. The location is a big plus.
The bathroom could have been cleaner. The shower area needed attention.

The staff were cute, and the full English breakfast I had was alright.
The room was not the cleanest I have seen. There was quite a bit of dampness and some spiders. I only managed one shower because the hot water ran out

friendly host lovely breakfast gorgeous view
the hosts were very friendly and helpful. breakfast tasted lovely. i enjoyed a great view of the countryside and even saw some piggies. i stayed here while attending a wedding in st ives and it was a short taxi ride away.
i noticed some cobwebs in the bedroom i think this could be improved with a more thorough cleaning.
