Situated in a pretty location convenient for Cambridge, this guest house was spotlessly clean and the facilities were good for the price. The proprietors were friendly and helpful and there were good local pubs for evening food. It is fairly close to the M11; so there was some road noise, but not enough to worry us inside the house. We... more

We have given full marks to this guest house, it's in a lovely area close to Cambridge, not far from Stanstedand and very close to the Duxford air field. Excellent breakfast in a lovely sunny positioned dinning room, enough to last throughout the day. The owners are very friendly, and go out of their way to be of assistance. more

This B&B is in the small village of Little Shelford on the south side of Cambridge. The village is very beautiful, and we particular enjoyed taking a short walk to the Navigator pub to enjoy some rather delicious Thai food. We stayed in the "small double" bedroom, which was perfectly comfortable. The only thing particularly small is the en-suite bathroom,... more

Nice location on the outskirts of Cambs, nice building and very clean if chintzy old fashioned rooms. What really makes this place stick out is the very poor concept of customer service that the owners (particularly the female) have. To be told upon arriving to "re-park the car to make it absolutely straight" and "remove your shoes", is rather strange... more

Very friendly hostess. She makes you feel like being home from the first minutes on. Although the man of the house was hospitalized, the lady of the house supported us an excellent breakfast and allround service! We couldn't ask for more luxury in a B&B. Highly recommended! Greetings from Belgium!! more

we ran away. the landlady is surreal. Positively the worst place I have ever been. She runs a curfew . beware not to turn up between 10am and 5pm..you will get shouted at. She is so rude it was funny. I suggest someone does a documentary on this place. Its a gem more

I would like to point out that at no time in 19 years have i raised my voice to any guest.These particular guests wanted to stay in bed until it suited them,not have their room cleaned and come and go as they please.I pointed out that my helper came in every morning at ten fifteen to clean the rooms. I...

This place was booked for an academic colleague attending a conference at the University in Cambridge. He is an eminent physicist. He was told to take his shoes off though he said the carpets were hideous and could have dne with some staining. Returning to pick up papers for the conference, he was treated as though he was trying to... more

Well I never thought I would have to check out early from an English B&B due to the attitude of the 'hostess' but that is exactly what we had to do. Do not go here if you have children, they are seen as devils from the darkside and you receive a free education of how to bring them up properly,... more

Dorset House is situated in the picturesque village of Little Shelford just outside Cambridge. The location is lovely and the property is clean however, it is the attitude of the proprietors, who seem to have been to the Basil Fawlty school of guest house management, that leaves a lot to be desired. This B&B runs a curfew from around 10am... more
