We had such a lovely stay! The bed was so comfortable, everything was absolutely spotlessly clean. Phil and Lisa are welcoming and friendly. The breakfast quality is excellent, and the guest lounge is a lovely touch.We had an issue with our shower, and Phil and Lisa dealt with it so quickly. They were communicative and resolved the issue very swiftly. It was a masterclass in how to deal with unforeseen issues.It is conveniently placed to explore Cambridge and Ely, with just a short walk to the train station.Highly recommend a visit!

Lovely en-suite room with a very comfy bed; definitely good quality. Beautiful white fluffy towels with hi end shower gel in the bathroom. They seem to think of everything in the room; a variety of teas and coffee; biscuits, water and even little chocolates.🍫 And I was pleasantly surprised to find a hair dryer with a defuser!! Even in large hotels I have never found one supplied. (Very curly hair which can easily do a Tina Turner on me if I don’t use one).We have friends in the village and will definitely be returning.

We stayed at the Old School House Rooms because we were visiting a local brewery and then heading into Cambridge in the evening. The location was ideal as we could easily walk to the brewery and then to Waterbeach train station with Cambridge being a quick 10 minute train journey.Our room as nice and cosy. We got a good nights sleep and the breakfast in the morning was just what we needed for a journey back home.

Our one night stay was absolutely perfect in every way. Lisa & Phil are the most helpful hosts we have ever come across. From the minute we arrived they freely offered their assistance and advice. The room was very clean accommodating an extremely large comfortable bed with quality linen. The on suite bathroom fittings were of the highest quality with a large walk in shower. Breakfast (ordered in advance the previous evening from an extensive menu) was outstanding in both quality and presentation. The only regret we have is that we never found this delightful B&B before now. Thank you Lisa & Phil. Hope to stay with you again sometime.

We stayed for 5 nights here and can honestly say this is the best B&B we’ve stayed in. We were warmly greeted and shown to our room where Phil quickly ran through how things worked. Everything was spotless clean and youhad everything you needed including things you hadn’t thought of! There was a lovely lounge area complete with tv, sofa, fridge, microwave, tea etc so you could sit there one evening if you wished and have something to eat. Although it was full we never heard any noise from other guests. Breakfast was freshly cooked, you could choose exactly what you wanted so there was no waste. Car parking was at the rear. Phil gave us helpful advice on where to go ea h day if we needed it. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this b&b to anyone and would use again if we were every in the area again.

There is a conservatory lounge where you can enjoy Starbucks range of coffees in the Dolce Gusto coffee machine. You can also eat in this space as cutlery & dinnerware along with wine glasses are provided for your use. There are toys for younger children in a space that looks like it is designated just for them but it is casual not confining.The breakfast were delicious along with the variety of continental breakfast items.

It's bright, clean and very comfortable, with a useful sitting room and big handsome breakfast room. Breakfasts are spectacular in range and quality. Everything you could want. Comfy beds (my mum, who struggles to sleep, got 8 hours) and plenty of bathroom space. We will be back.

We decided to stay here as it had wonderful reviews and was extremely close to a venue we were attending.I spoke with Lisa on several occasions before arrival as I was travelling with my sister and we were unsure of times etc. However Lisa made everything possible.We arrive and found our room immediately, which was light and bright with the most amazing bedding, lovely touches, tea/ coffee/biscuits/ water.. bathroom was wonderful, heated towels, Rituals bath products..My sister forgot her hair straighteners but once again, this was not a problem as Lisa appeared with some immediately. Inc in our price was breakfast the next day, fresh warm pastries, fresh fruit, fresh juice, any kind of coffee, full English, omelettes… porridge.. you name it… it’s available.Also a beautiful conservatory at the back to relax where you can make your own tea and coffee.The old School House parking for approx 6 cars at the rear and off street parking, it is nestled nicely in the village of Waterbeach approx 10/15 min drive/ park to Cambridge City, so ideally situated for exploring around.I would highly recommend this beautiful home from home B & B… that Lisa and her husband run so superb.Hope to return ourselves soon. Many thanks

I had a social event in Cambridge on a Saturday night and needed an overnight hotel. The Cambridge Hotels were very expensive with extra charges for parking and breakfast. The Old School House was an easy alternatove. Just 12 minutes on the train to get to Cambbridge. Room rates are very reasonable plus free parking and breakfast included...and Oh my goodness, what a breakfast...amazing!!. Add to this fantastic accomodation, very clean and a wonderful hostess. I rarely put reviews on line ....I only do so for people that deserve it. Lisa, you deserve it. Many thanks. You have a my 5 star vote.

We felt 1 night wasn't enough, so we've booked 2 nights & we're looking forward to their culinary delights on the Saturday night & maybe a cocktail or two!!Thank you so much Lisa

This was such a lovely place to stay.The host Lisa, her husband and house keeper were so friendly and looked after us well.It was so clean in the B & B, the smell of fresh laundry was very homely.Breakfast was easy to order the night before and it was served fresh and promptly at the time I booked.Such a lovely experience and I would really like to return.Very clean with nice products to use in the bathroom with exceptionally fluffy big towels.

Beautiful, spotless, amazing facilities, super friendly hosts, wonderful food, a0fter staying in various chain hotels around the country this was a wonderful treat. To be able to relax in the lovely conservatory, have ap decent coffee (huge choice of other drinks) and watch TV from a comfy chair rather than being cooped up in a bedroom was a real treat. The extras (and there are many) really made the difference toweary solo traveller. And breakfast wow.. so much choice and beautifully freshly cooked using top quality ingredients all laid out better than any 5 star hotel I have been to. I was lucky enough to to book for Sunday lunch it was faultless. I only wish I ha0d known about the afternoon tea that was just finishing when I arrived...Next time .Thank you ❤️

I had to take my car to a specialist service company on Cambridge Research Park which is less than 2 miles from The Old School Rooms.As I live 60 miles away and I had to take the car in at 8am I needed to stay somewhere the night before and the Old School Rooms was perfect for that purpose.I am not able to comment on the breakfastas my courtesy car took so long to get organised that I did not get back in time for breakfast which ended at 9am

The Old School House Rooms is a lovely place to stay in Waterbeach. The room was comfortable and very well thought out.Some of the room's highlights are: USB chargers exactly where you need them, sockets in easily reached areas, a special make up mirror which gives perfect lighting in the bathroom, extra soft fluffy towels (and lots of them), an extremely comfortable bed, good quality pillows and linen, a large flat screen TV, and good light blocking blinds at the window.I could go on, but hopefully you get the drift!The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had - it was cooked to perfection and was fresh. I was given a choice of toast (I had gluten free), juice, tea or coffee (various types!), pastries, full English, or a variation of it, Eggs Royale, Eggs Benedict...the list went on!I was offered a choice of times to have my breakfast - and they are very flexible!The lounge for the guests is a nice touch - here you can get extra drinks or relax with a paper.The umbrellas (for guests) by the entrance were useful - this is the type of extra thought that the lovely proprietor (Lisa) has for her guests.I was shown around and made to feel comfortable by Lisa as soon as I arrived, and was told if I needed anything at all to just ask. (I actually needed some toothpaste which I forgot and Lisa gave me some!)The area is nice - the house faces a green and Lisa pointed out the best places to eat, and pointed out the pharmacy, shops, post office and a take away - all literally a stones throw away.I was travelling as a single female and Lisa made me feel totally at home. Thank you Lisa

Travelling as a couple, we enjoyed our 2 night stay. The welcome was warm and helpful; the room was clean and well-appointed; and there was car parking at the rear of the property. Breakfast was full of choice and well prepared. The accommodation was well situated for our short break (including a visit to Anglesea Abbey) and there was a friendly pub/restaurant just across the green.

Stayed here for one night as we were attending a family party nearby.The room was immaculate and well stocked.We especially liked the fresh water and chocolate.The little touches were amazing.Breakfast was outstanding and cooked fresh to order.Would definitely return.My only gripe was I was a little cold in the night and I don’t think the radiators had kicked in yet - but that could be personal preference.Would not stop me returning though.

The location is great, close to pubs, a couple of local shops and takeaway food if you wanted it. A village location that was busy enough to be interesting but not in any way noisy or too much. Our room was spotless and finished to a high standard. The guest lounge at the end of the corridor was great with extra tea/coffee facilities and glasses for wine, a fridge if you needed it and a table to eat at or sofas to lounge on. Breakfast was lovely, completing your dining options the night before meant there was no waiting around either. the number of options and high quality of food and presentation meant breakfast was a very enjoyable experience.We would definitely stay here again.

Had a lovely stay at the Old School House in September 2022. Room was clean and modern, with easy self check in option allowing us to arrive fairly late into the evening.Staff really went the extra mile to make my partners birthday special after mentioning it in my booking form. A balloon, card and bottle of Prosecco was waiting for us in the room and really added to his day and our overall stay. Thank you!Breakfast was lovely with lots of options and good food.

What an amazing B&B. I have been coming to Cambridge now for 3 years, and have stayed in lots of different hotels and B&B's this is by far the best. Very comfortable rooms with a really big ensuite with walk-in shower. Coffee pod machine in guest lounge (free), and simply the best full breakfast I've had in years. The location is a few miles out from the city centre, but it's only £15 in an Uber, 2 pubs and 2 shops within 1 minute walk and a Chinese takeaway! I will definitely be staying here again.

The first time we stayed at The Old Schoolhouse was because we had a family medical crisis. Lisa could not have been more caring. Since then whenever we visit our daughter and daughter in law who live in Waterbeach we stay here. The rooms are lovely with super comfy beds, the extensive breakfast menu is always a real treat. Since our last visit, Lisa has started offering Sunday lunch to guests and non guests.The next time we are down for the weekend we will surely sample one along with our daughters who being vegan have been catered for too. We can't praise Lisa's establishment too highly. 5 stars all round.

Lisa was very warm and friendly and a most accomodating host making sure I was comfortable had everything I needed. I look forward to returning to The Old School House Rooms and seeing Lisa in future visits to UK.

The staff were really friendly and polite,the room was very clean and tidy. You could go and come back as you please with keycode on the door and own key for the room. The breakfast was cooked fresh and the dining room spotless would recommend this place who visits cambridge tobook as only 10 minutes on the train and the village pubs full of characters and friendly.5 stars for me.

What a great find. The accommodation was amazing - very comfortable and clean. Lovely finishing touches too which made it very homely. The bathroom was great too - very clean with really nice products. Breakfast was very yummy - nothing was too much trouble. Would def stay here again if we are in the area. Fantastic pub over the road - The White Horse - does amazing Italian food :)

What can I say more than it was perfection in every category! Bedroom, dining room and day room are all furnished, equipped and decorated to the highest standards of quality, comfort, convenience and visual delight. The staff could not be more warm and friendly, and were helpful beyond the call of duty. I wish I could cook a breakfast as delectable as those served to me here! Location and local travel communications are excellent, and the well-appointed village lively but peaceful.

Reviewer: Wendy C | Thu 16th Sep 2021 | 3 years ago
As implied in the title, the Old School House Rooms are run, by the charming Lisa, as a B&B, but with an attention to detail that would put quite a few 4* hotels to shame.The rooms were spotlessly clean and fresh, supplied generously with toiletries, refreshments and a reasonably-priced mini-bar. An equally generous breakfast was cooked to order, with a number of choices available for all appetites.My wife and I, as it happens on this occasion, enjoyed sole use of the shared conservatory lounge (again stocked with free refreshments, magazines, newspapers, etc.) and terrace.As for location, the building is on one side of the attractive triangular village green, within stumbling distance of two pubs, a pharmacy and a convenience store. Cambridge city centre is a 20-minute drive away, or 10 minutes on the hourly train from Waterbeach station. If you're cycling, there are a few bridleways and footpaths out of the village. and The Bridge gastro-pub, on the Cam, is a short, easy ride away (you could even walk it, I think).My only suggestion for improvement would be the water pressure in the shower, which I imagine is a challenge to achieve in an old building, and a common issue in hotels, I find. Notwithstanding this "feature", I wouldn't hesitate to return and would encourage others to visit.

We stayed at The Old School House with friends as we were attending an event at Newmarket Racecourse. Lisa could not have been more obliging and helpful. We were able to have an early check in to get ready and she could not do enough for us. The bedrooms are modern and stylish, the beds very comfortable and breakfast superb! We took the train from the village into Cambridge for the day on the Saturday - 9 minutes so a great location. I would totally recommend The Old School House and cant wait to return in the near future and see how Lisa's plans are coming on. There is a lodge to stay in on site too and this also looks great.

Incredibly well presented, with every detail to make our stay as comfortable as possibleprovided and then some! So many lovely touches were included from lovely bathroom products, to copious quantities of tea, coffee and water in our well appointed room. In the morning we were served the most delicious breakfast, all freshly prepared and presented by our wonderful host Lisa. We were delighted to have found this absolute gem of place to stay and will definitely recommend to everyone we know!

We stayed for 2 nights at the Old School House Rooms and really enjoyed our time. The rooms are modern, clean, well equipped and maintained to a high standard. The breakfast was great with quality food and drink, with plenty of choice. Covid restrictions reduced room tidying (not needed anyway as the room was already spotless) but any extras you may have needed (clean glasses, bottled water, more coffee, etc) was provided for in the lounge area. The host (Lisa) was very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Will hopefully visit again; but stay a little longer next time.

We have just returned from a 4 x night stay at The Old School House Rooms and can honestly say it is amazing. The owner, Lisa was very welcoming, friendly and she made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were spotless and lovely toiletries provided, tea coffee etc also provided, breakfast was very good and being able to park the car on site is a real bonus. Lisa has also included a day room in the property for use by the residents if they need it, this is brilliant for families as there is a microwave, fridge and tea/coffee machine available for guests to use. We certainly recommend Old School House and cannot wait to make a return visit.An added bonus is there are good restaurants, shops, a pharmacy within a few steps away, and the station is only a 5 x minute walk away. There is a lovely village feel about the location, and lovely walks and places to visit are a stones throw away.

The perfect stay.

The old school house rooms offers a welcome retreat just outside of Cambridge City Centre.The rooms are clean, decorated to a very high standard and very quiet.The breakfast is a highlight with Lisa the host always giving the warmest of welcomes and cant do enough for you.Definitely recommend.
Reviewer: Chris N | Wed 11th Mar 2020 | 4 years ago
Having originally found the accommodation through a hotel booking site, I now book direct. The rooms are as good as anything you’ll find in a business chain hotel, and the personal touch by the proprietor at breakfast completes the experience. Located in a small village with very good local facilities, the accommodation is superb, and heartily recommended.
Reviewer: Martyn B | Wed 4th Mar 2020 | 4 years ago
Stayed here with 3 friends at the weekend. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left Lisa was the perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble, even getting us into a local pub for lunch at short notice. Beautiful rooms and really comfy beds. Best breakfast I have had at a B&B in a long time.. lovely conservatory to relax and have a coffee in, provided by Lisa. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Reviewer: Sue B | Tue 3rd Mar 2020 | 4 years ago
We regularly visit the Waterbeach area and always stay at the Old School House Rooms.They are beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable with several welcome additional facilities not normally associated with similar accommodation,and the breakfast choice excellent.The ground floor rooms are essential as my husband has mobility problems which helps us, but we always enjoy coming as the owners and staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming and anxious to assist their guests in any way possible.

This was the 3rd time we stayed at the old school house. I cannot express what a lovely lady Lisa is. Nothing is too much trouble for her. The rooms are beautiful and the furniture is of the highest quality. There is always a very varied range of options available for breakfast, the full English being our personal favourite. I would not hesitate in recommending the old school house to anyone.

We had a lovely, relaxing few days at The Old School House Rooms. It is ideally situated, with a bus stop to Cambridge outside the front door. Our rooms had everything we needed and there is a conservatory to sit in and watch tv - very helpful as my husband is a very early riser and I could stay in bed! Lisa, the owner is warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely breakfasts. We will definitely book again.

If anyone wants a wonderful welcome and beautiful accommodation then I can highly recommend the Old School House Rooms. My husband and I had to find somewhere to stay due to a family emergency and we could have done no better than here. Lisa is such a caring person and nothing was too much trouble. At a very stressful time it was so nice to be treated like friends and not just customers. Wonderfully comfortable beds, very pretty rooms even before they are redecorated . The choice of breakfasts are excellent ranging from assorted cereals, through to Continental and full English. Cannot recommend Lisa and her Old School Rooms highly enough. Thank you Lisa for making what was a truly awful time a little better. We will definitely be back in happier times.

We came to Ely as a birthday treat for my husband. Our room was really clean and although quite small as advertised, I had booked the most expensive of the options in the hope I'd get the largest possible room! It had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely - the fruit salad was full of watermelon chunks and the scrambled egg with smoked salmon was a real treat.My husband had Eggs Benedict and really enjoyed his birthday breakfast. The Old School House is well situated in Waterbeach with a couple of pubs and village shops close at hand, a bus stop across the road and there is parking at the back of the building.

Strongly recommend a stay at the lovely Old School House Rooms. The rooms are beautiful, the welcome is extremely warm, the breakfast was delicious. I will most certainly be making a return visit soon!

The stay at "The Old School House" was absolutely wonderful: Very friendly hosts, beautiful rooms, quiet, good restaurant and pub just opposite the accomodation, close railway station with trains going directly to London.

Stayed withmy son while visiting my daughter in Cambridge.The Old School House is newly refurbished, everything is very crisp and fresh in a neutral, uncluttered style.The room isn't massive, but good value for Cambridge, given the high standard. For breakfast I had beautifully light scranbled eggs and smoked salmon (my son the full works) both were delicious. It's also a very quiet spot, and I had a lovely country walk in the morning.Very helpful owners (and charming grandsons).
