What a marvellous place to stay, the host Sean was a delight and could not be more welcoming and friendly.
The bed was clean and comfy so a good nights sleep was followed by a tasty breakfast.
We will definitely stay again.
I have stayed many times because it’s just so clean, hosts so very helpful & friendly, breakfasts super fresh & well cooked. Ample free parking and delightful rural location within very easy reach of Ely, Cambridge, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds. You are spoilt for choice regarding lovely restaurants/takeouts and sightseeing. It’s wonderful. I return time and time again.
A bit off the beaten path but nice rooms and excellent breakfast

What a lovely place to stay. Couldn't fault it. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable clean room, quiet, pretty, rural location, excellent breakfast. Good value. Would stay again for sure.
We stayed as a family of 4 (2 kids under 6) and the family suite was perfect. Sean was such a helpful and friendly host and the breakfast was outstanding.
Host was very welcoming and made the stay easy & comfortable. Very rural and basic facilities but charming, relaxing in its own way. Breakfast was well cooked and delicious. I would stay again.

Pleasant stay, facilities are adequate enough for me the buildings could do with a bit of touching up but everything works
Very quiet location. Away from everything. Friendly and helpful host. Enjoyed cooked breakfast too. Tea and coffee available in the dining area. Rooms comfortable. Had a good night's sleep.
Excellent breakfast. Very friendly owners. Suggest you call before for precise directions as the location from Expedia on Apple Maps is about a mile before the hotel
Really enjoyed my stay here, the owners are very friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. If I was to really, really 'nitpick' the WiFi signal was a little weak and I ended up reverting back to my mobile data, but everything else was brilliant and I'll definitely be booking here again if and when the opportunity arises. Have already recommended to several colleagues.
Fantastic location for peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of sight seeing. A very friendly welcome from the owner who also does a great breakfast included in the price. The rooms are spot on for what you want it for. Always stay there the owner can't do enough for you highly recommend it.
Lovely stay at the Woodlands. The owner and his wife couldn't be nicer people. It's a nice change from the homogenised and impersonal experience you normally find at the typical chain hotels.
The setting of the place was so nice aswell. Lovely trees, beautiful countryside and the nice older buildings... it made it feel unique.
Breakfast was excellent and the whole vibe of the place was relaxed. I would stay here again!
Stayed over for the night as I working in the area. Incredibly fantastic price for what I got. Beautiful stay in countryside. Really nice and friendly. Amazing cooked breakfast in the morning! Couldn’t recommend enough. Would definitely stay here again.
