Great location for visiting Cambridge
Lovely cosy room. Modern and clean. Needs a bit of TLC in some places. Comfy bed and quiet surroundings. 5mins drive from Milton P&R which is fab for accessing Cambridge.

We loved everything about the property, it’s a little gem. The quality of the food was excellent both at breakfast & dinner. All the staff were extremely helpful & nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely stay at The Crown & Punchball again.

Shame about the food!!
We stayed for 3 nights - room was comfortable, shower was excellent - once we worked out how to work it (no instructions - I know what you are thinking - how difficult can it be !!). The heating was on in the middle of June - and we needed it on the first night - so brownie points earned there. The food was not to our liking as my wife suffers dreadfully from IBS - so even the hint of pepper has a disastrous reaction. We had breakfast on the first day - and despite providing a list of foods that provided a problem, my wife had avocado on smoked salmon on toast with poached eggs - which we thought was safe. Unfortunately the eggs were cooked in water with vinegar - with a predictable reaction. I know it is tough these days - but we had let them know that vinegar was a no no. That apart - the smallest cereal bowls I have ever seen and fried eggs that I could pick up as they were so rubbery (presumably air fried ??) - so no would not recommend breakfast. . Nevertheless it did not spoil our stay. Clean towels evert day, coffee and tea replenished everyday with fresh milk and chilled water from a fridge in the hallway

The room was nice but small. The staff was great, and the food very good. However, it was 4 miles to Cambridge and there was nothing else around there, so spent a lot on Ubers.

Lovely annexe next to the lovely pub
Lovely modern clean room. Large comfy beds, blackout blinds and coffee machine. Bathroom had good shower and soft fluffy towels. The pub itself is very cosy and the staff were friendly. Would stay again when in the Cambridge area.
