Superb for a visit to Cambridge.

Delightful small country hotel with bags of character and warm, welcoming staff. Delicious breakfasts and evening meal and we found our room and bathroom very well furnished and clean. We can certainly recommend the Golden Ball- ideal for visits to Cambridge. We hope to make a return visit before too long.

Our 4th stay here and will come again. Evie in the bar/restaurant was excellent, and despite being busy, fixed us up with a heater as the central heating in the bedroom was not working well. Had a lovely evening meal and a very good breakfast the next morning

A very pleasant stay. Good room size which was in good condition with all the amenities you would expect. Large comfortable bed and an excellent power shower. Good quality tea/coffee with branded chocs which was a nice touch. Very friendly welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was excellent, tasty, large portions and reasonably priced. Wide choice of breakfast options. Will stay there again if in the area.

Loved the friendlyness and that the Proprietor Steven didn't correct me after calling him Peter throughout my stay. Lovely food. Just a little too far from Newmarket for me. But would definitely stay again if my circumstances required it.

Lovely place in a lovely little village

My visit was lovely and really enjoyed the place. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, lots of character in the pub itself and plenty of options for food. Breakfast was included and the food was brilliant. The room was clean, tidy and a very comfortable bed and pillows. The only bad thing that I found was that noise travelled across the rooms/building at times which meant that it was quite noisy. However, at night it was quite. So may need to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper and affected by noise! Otherwise it was a lovely place and I enjoyed my stay. Will be staying there again in the future!

No restaurant or pub!

Arrived on a Tuesday 17:00, place in darkness! Found the owner by knocking on the door, only to be told that the pub and restaurant were closed on a Tuesday. No mention of this when booking - info says 'restaurant'. The room was not worth the money paid - it was OK and clean but NOT a £90/night room.
