Chequer Cottage

If you like thatched cottages, Country Gardens and being made a fuss of, this is your place! Nothing was too much trouble for Debbie and Dave, they were so welcoming and friendly. The room was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The little touches were lovely, a small carafe of port, tea and coffee and a few sweet treats! We had a very comfortable night and breakfast the next morning was delicious. Debbie was so attentive, we felt thoroughly spoilt! Would definitely recommend. We visited Duxford and Ely on our trip.

I cannot praise the owners enough for this amazing experience! Right from check in they were so welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble through the whole of our stay. The room they rent is a beautiful space above a double garage, it has all the mod cons you’d need including , tv and a hair dryer.The bed is incredibly comfortable , I’ve not slept so well in a very long time. You also get the use of a huge , well tendered and interesting garden, I think David’s pride and joy, apart from the rogue walnut trees thanks to the squirrels ( look for the hidden pond 😉) The owners live in the main cottage ( it’s out of this world cute)but provide breakfast in their separate dining area, the spread they provide is not only extremely delicious ( we had a cooked breakfast) they also supply a lovely fruit yogurt compote, tea, coffee, orange juice and water and cereal if required . The breakfast table was laid in a lovely traditional way which we loved. Debbie has a laundry room to iron if needed. The little touches of the chocolate and the evening tipple with beautiful crystal glasses were especially cute not to mention the lovely cup cakes and macaroons . Our whole stay was perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again, thank you Debbie and David, you really do go above beyond to make your guest feel welcome and valued.

Everything about the cottage and our stay was excellent. We arrived later than we had said but this wasn't an issue. Room was up a flight of external (wooden) stairs above a garage. No noise from house, garage, road or surrounding houses. Decor in our room was lovely. Lots of nice 'extras' provided (various types of tea and coffee, chocolate, sweets etc.). Breakfast was in the cottage. Had a choice for breakfast and we went for a full English. Plenty of toast, cereals, tea, coffee etc. was also provided. Lady owner very nice, approachable, helpful. If we decide to stay in this area again will definitely stay here and would recommend anyone looking for somewhere to stay in this area to stay here.

We cannot rate this B&B highly enough. The accommodation is top class and the hosts are without doubt the friendliest we have come across. The breakfast, too, exceeded expectations. We couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome and would 100% recommend this cottage. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Chequer Cottage is a 1st class B and B with the friendlist of hosts Debbie and David. Located in a quiet rural location good for walks that provide lovely views of the surrounding countryside, a ten minute walk offers a half hourly bus service to Cambridge and Haverhill. If using the car Cambridge, Newmarket, Duxford and the surrounding area are within easy reach. If looking for a peaceful rural break with nice hosts, a lovely room, splendid breakest and extras that make it special you will find it here. We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay at Chequer Cottage which we highly recommend thank you Debbie and David.

This is our 2nd stay with Debbie and David We had a 3 night stay and and they made us very welcome. We had a lovely room , which was self contained with en-suite facilities. and all very comfortable . It was nice to have the daily chocolate, and port. Debbie cooked us a very nice breakfast every morning. They also helped with maps and places to visit. Will definitely book again when visiting the area.
