Thorn House B&B

We had a lovely weekend break at Thorn House. The host was very welcoming and gave us tips for things to do in Cambridge. The pub around the corner (the three tuns) is great and the food was 👌. We were welcome with a plate of cupcakes and a delicious breakfast was delivered every morning. We highly recommend thorn house if are looking for a base to explore the local area and Cambridge 🙂.

Would have stayed longer if we could have.

Pleasant host, poor standard room Upon arriving we met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. On first glance the room seemed ok. But further inspection revealed to be a tired mismatched room. The path to the room was unkept and messy. The bed yet comfortable was mismatched bedding not the crisp white one colour bedding you would expect. The pillow cases didn’t match the sheets or the quilt cover. In the kitchen dinette was well equipped with a kettle toaster microwave and plates and cutlery for microwave or takeaway food. Unfortunately in the fridge stored open and used bottles and jars of sauce jam honey. In the cupboard was a Tupperware of some sort of cereal. Non of this should have been left in the room. There was a glass jar of biscuits that anyone could have had their hands on. Nothing was sealed new or fresh for use, like single serving jam and honey as I would not like to use an open jar not knowing how long it had been opened and used. In the bathroom the theme was the same bottle of soap already having been used and not refilled. Shampoo and things I didn’t bother checking was there too. The towels seemed ancient in design two brown patterned bath towels and a blue hand towel. A dirty toilet brush with tissue paper on it. I didn’t even want to use the shower and couldn’t wait to get home to wash my clothes and myself. The room was dusty too. The breakfast was bought to you which was sausage bacon poached sloppy egg but hard yolk and bullet beans and hard toast. Invest in single sealed use

Friendly, cosy and cute. We had a lovely stay. Alex was very accommodating, friendly and went out of his way to be helpful! It was lovely to have a cooked breakfast too!!
