ok for the night cheaper than close alternatives easy to find breakfast is toast and cereal and nice coffee all provided free 6am till 10am which is a nice touch matress not great but not bad either nice shower over small bath but bath is useable reception is brilliant and friendly and very quick to book in a few workmen using as a local base but all were chatty and friendly there is a pub next door 30 second walk food expensive but ok
overall well worth a stay if you are tired for the night in the area also note than it is very handy for luton and stansted airports (within 30 minutes by car)

Place is outdated. Eco friendly high! Was not going to attempt to have a shower thinking that it’s possibly a one minute hot shower.

Always stay there as its easy to get to, good price, comfy. On this occasion as i explained to the desk manager next morning, shower mixer for bath was broken so had to fill bath using the shower. The cold was always hot, he told me 1 person had rang late sunday night for a room and four kids showed and made noise all night long, so not much sleep. I had a long journey down and a long journey home, wasnt happy

we booked for the weekend as we were working near by
The room had really strong smell of damp and foisty.
we had no hot water
We complained but there was no other room we could go in so basically had to put up with
we didn't return the following night as we needed a good night sleep and a hot shower so didn't want to take any chances
We were told the manager would be available on Monday if I wanted to speak to her which I did
I was told they couldn't answer about the smell as the room had been cleaned after ?and apparently we needed to turn the sink tap on which would feed the hot water to the shower !!! REALLY ? Very disappointed

The hotel is what it is.

Nothing fancy at all but definitely does the job and is convenient. Breakfast in the morning is basic but more than suitable.

If you can, ask for a room at the back of the hotel away from the road to avoid the road noise if you like to sleep with the window open.

Ideally positioned clean hotel

Attentive staff, room spotlessly clean. Ideally placed on A1, local restaurant within walking distance. However loose wires in aerial so no working television signal in room. Mattress needs replacing, felt every spring and no support left. Breakfast is eaten at two tables in the reception lobby with no tables available today

The bath towels were a bit dirty which made us feel itchy. You might also hear the noise from racing bikes in the midnight if your room is facing to the dual carriage way.

Overall it is a good one if you are visiting Cambridge or IWM Duxford.

Not impressed
Somehow we were allocated a disabled persons room, which was not a problem in its self, but if we had have been disabled we would have been bitterly complaining, firstly the room was not very clean, low bed and rather small, then again if we had been disabled we would not have been able to get in the bath, the step up was about 15 – 20 inches, no way would you get in it to have a bath or a shower. Dining area left a lot to be desired, cramped, just two tables and with four chairs around each, plates not readily available

£15 per dog!

We have stayed here a few times because of it's location near to family. It's a no frills lodge; rough around the edges with a very basic breakfast consisting of toast, croissant's and cereal. All of this is acceptable given the price per person per stay. I do however think charging almost the same for a pet as an adult - without breakfast - is extortionate, considering some adults would almost certainly make more mess than a pet. I very much doubt we will be back in future, such a shame given the locality and the convenience of Cody's restaurant and bar on site. A total upgrade, revamp and pet breakfast would be the only reason I would pay that amount of money for my pet again.

There was NO COOK breakfast, just cereal and bread for toast, which is really deceiving when declared breakfast included, instead should put down cereals and bread for toast only in that way A GOOD IDEA WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY INDICATED WHAT EXPECTED FOR SO CALLED BREAKFAST.Very Very disappointed for that.

I enjoyed our family stay at Redwings. This was truly down to the warmth and friendliness of the staff. I could not fault how accommodating they were, particularly as we had an elderly relative with us. They held the door open for us as we arrived, and over our 4 day stay, they kept asking us if we needed anything else in our rooms. The lodge is a little \"tired\" and could do with a bathroom refurb, as there was no towel shelf or hand rail BUT the water was hot and the showers were good, with fresh towels when needed. The staff smile when you pass them, and it was evident to me that they are a fantastic team and work collaboratively well together.

This place is perfect for what it is, an inexpensive roadside motel-type establishment. Careful you don’t miss the turning, it’s the one just before the petrol station. If you’re coming from the south you have to do a bit of a loop around to get to it. Room was spacious, nice, clean and comfortable but window (which you can open if required) seemed to let in a lot of road noise. Bathroom clean and functional, with a bath, plus shower on flexible hose with mount to place on the wall, which I prefer to fixed showers. Shower gel provided. Kettle in room with tea and coffee, including decaf. Plenty of parking. Breakfast is a bit odd, it’s severed at reception where there’s seating for just 8, and consists of bread/toast with a selection of jams, plus a selection of cereals, juice, tea and instant coffee. Good sized TV. Very comfortable bed. There’s a small restaurant in a separate building on site but when I arrived at 9pm they had stopped serving.
