The room was clean.
Unfortunately the room was very noisy, especially the bathroom. Every time someone else in another room flushed the toilet or used the shower it sounded like someone was running a bath in my room. The sounds of talking and doors opening and closing came through too.
WiFi speed was very poor (approx 5-7mb) and I couldn't find any plug sockets in the room. I had breakfast booked but didn't realise until morning that you had to fill in a paper form and leave it in the front entrance by 8pm the night before. When I got in bed I decided to turn the bedside lamp on and read for a while but annoyingly it was brighter than the sun! By morning I'd had a bad sleep so just left without eating.
All in all after a long day driving I just wanted somewhere to rest and unfortunately this wasn't the place to do it.

Lovely hosts who served up a great breakfast with a wide variety of options, including gluten-free choices. Our room was quiet; there is little to no traffic noise. The hosts have gone to great lengths to make the residence as homely as possible.
Although the bed was very large, as advertised, the room itself was quite small and manoeuvring around the room with luggage for just 3 nights was a challenge. The bathroom was adequate, although why the shower compartment was open (no door) at one end is odd. Extreme care was required to stop the bathroom floor from flooding. We've noticed this situation recently in other accommodations.

Excellent breakfast. The bed and breakfast was in a good position in the village.
We found the bed a bit hard.
Also the door of or room banged each time someone went through the fire door in the corridor outside.

It's a delightful place to stay, it is opposite a park. There is ample parking at the rear of the property, but if this is full, there is on-street parking. On the other side of the park, you will find 2 pubs offering meals. Breakfast was included in our stay. Breakfast was delicious. The room was lovely, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We stayed in room 8.
Not the Old School House's fault but the other guests need to park more responsibly. Had they done so, we could have fitted in the rear carpark but ended up parking on the street.

We stay in hotels all the time and that was the best breakfast we have ever had. Food was tasty, cooked to perfection and apple choices. The plates were hot and good quality food.

Room was clean and more than adequate.
Good ordering for breakfast which you filled in and left in reception every evening. Good selection for breakfast and the English breakfast had a good choice of items.
A very well run B&B that I'd thoroughly recommend.
There was nothing to dislike.

The place was very clean, very quiet. Good facilities and the staff were genuinely friendly not forced customer service.
The guest folder might need a tidy up and updating.

Welcoming. Organised. Efficient. Every detail thought of
The hot water took a long time to come through in the shower
This is a waste of water but also a bit irritating

Our room was cosy and comfortable. Lovely selection of teas and coffee in our room. The room was clean and fresh.
Issue with the breakfast order, my sister put on the form Vegan breakfast. At breakfast we were told "you just put vegan on the form, that means nothing to us".
The host explained the food items you wanted should have been written in the comments box - however guests are unaware of what is in the kitchen..
Overall a simple tick box would have been much easier to navigate.
There was another guest who spoke little English, the host struggled to communicate and came across quite rude when speaking to him.

Very comfortable room, lovely toiletries and a great breakfast.
Found the room a little hot despite the fan being there, however that was just due to the weather.

Very conveniently located in this quiet village. Great home cooked breakfast to order. Owners Phil and Lisa very friendly, easy going and helpful
Trivial points only: breakfast coffee machine was average. Parking spaces a bit tight.

The location was great for Newmarket races which is what we went for. It is a small village and not much around but in fairness, we did not explore much. We did go to Cambridge which was lovely and not far.
Perhaps ensure the parking has lines within which one should park.

One of the friendliest and kindest hosts we have ever come across. The room was smart, spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was very well cooked and the area was interesting and very close to Cambridge. The accommodation was on a village green with a very nice pub / restaurant opposite. The nearby river is a nice walk, and the riverside pub looked great.
Perhaps the breakfast was a little slow.
