Orchard Pond in the Cambridgeshire village of Whittlesford is a great place to stay if you're planning to visit Cambridge. There are also lots of other attractions nearby - Duxford Airfield is just a few minutes away and excellent hosts Janet and Simon have lots of local knowledge and were really helpful with ideas. Our room was lovely with views... More

It's really nice and clean, the rooms are always immaculate and Janet & Simon are wonderful hosts. I also liked the location, 5 minutes walk down the hill to the village train station with links to London and easy motorway access to the M11, despite being tucked away in a quiet, rural village. And the bacon sandwiches are spot on.

We stayed here for a couple of nights while visited IWM Duxford. Very comfortable and clean. Super beds. Hosts Greg (or is it Simon?) and Janet were most accommodating. Try the scrambed eggs and salmon for breakfast. Closest pub is the John Barleycorn - booking advised.

We stayed here because it was very close to the imperial war museum but found it to be quite a cozy place. The owners were very accommodating to our schedule and suggested some great places to go and visit. Greg and Janet were very nice...even waking up early to fix us some breakfast before heading back to London. Greg suggested... More

Stayed at Orchard Pond last week and was a lovely b&b. It was a lovely welcome that we were given. The rooms were beautiful, really homely and beautifully clean with great facilities (TV, water by bed, selection teas and coffees). The bed was sooo comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic as well - soo much choice. Lovely home and excellent b&b.... More

I am a regular visitor to the area on business. Up to present I have used local hotels - this was my first stay at Orchard Pond. Janet and Simon are excellent welcoming hosts who are in the process of establishing orchard Pond as an "upmarket" B&B and are making a good job of doing so. The mature house is... More

I tend to stay in hotels for business but recently I've spent a little extra time seeking out good B&Bs. This is my best find yet, a retreat with real character.

Janet and Simon were excellent hosts. Very friendly with spot on recommendations for eating out.The breakfast was excellent and communal areas and garden were very pleasant. However on reflection, we feel that the groundfloor bedroom (with bathroom across the entrance hall) is not on a par with the others available at the same the price (ensuite). The single glazed window... More

This is a lovely B&B, peaceful, relaxed and very comfortable, particularly the beds! The room was clean and nicely furnished and the en-suite bathroom spacious with excellent showers (hand and overhead), mirror and good lighting. Janet looks after you well and serves a beautiful breakfast. I have already booked a return visit.
