Hotels near RSPB Fowlmere Nature Reserve

"Helpful staff upon arrival and the room was as expected and very clean however the space in the corner could have been occupied by a chair or couch for additional seating otherwise it had what was required of a room in a hotel. We thought the drinks bar in the dining room was rather expensive though & also an extra charge for parking put 30 pounds on the bill for 3 nights. All in all a good stay."

"Beautiful room above the pub really loved my stay"

"The cooked food was all brilliant. Chef and breakfast and evening team friendly and efficient Rooms nicely equipped, though heating programme meant the room was very warm at the wrong time. "

"The lock on our assigned room malfunctioned so we were moved to an adjacent room. That room was adequate, though the bathroom was very small and thus awkward to use. Standard pub fare was provided for lunch and dinner - nothing to get excited about. Breakfast, however, was excellent and served in a room functioning as a coffee shop for nearby railway customers (their coffee is good). Although the Red Lion is advertised as being under new management, their partnership with Smart Parking Ltd. is inexcusable. The steady stream of 1-star reviews on Trustpilot describes Smart Parking as a cynical and aggressive money-making business that often issues unfair fines based upon faulty IT. Despite registering my vehicle details at the bar and providing receipts for my stay, I am still being pursued for a £100 Parking Charge Notice (initially reduced to £20 if I didn't appeal) based upon some fictional breach of their T&Cs. My case is currently with the Independent Appeals Service. My recommendation would be to use the B&B Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn Express) next to the Red Lion."

"Very nice place to stay, and very friendly owners"

"Easy check in, suitable room. WiFi didn't work, TV and remote didn't work, radiators needed bleeding and were very noisy"

"I am sorry to say that our stay was unexpectedly very bad. Even as we checked in the property was cold. There was NO HEATING and no HOT WATER. After many tephone calls we were told that the we boiler was not functioing. We were given grossly inadequate heaters which did little to correct the situation. It completely wrecked the evening which was the celebration of my wife's 70th Birthday. Our first night was a nightmare with no ability for us and our guests to have shower for two full days even after the boiler was fixed late evening on the second day. In the absence of the hot water, even the addition of the two stable rooms, my guests have we complained to me bitterly. 7 of us were elderly guests with health issues and a 2.5 year old baby, so you can imagine the risks we were subjected to. There were water leaks in two of the bathrooms. Wendy the site manager did her best to help. Took on personal responsibility to solve the issue, but in the absence of effective technical help, she wasn't able to resolve the issues. I demand a full refund of my payment as the basic nessecities were not provided, and we had no option to find suitable alternative accommodation for so many guests at such a short notice. "

"The tv had no channels on it and wouldn’t connect to the internet so was useless. The guest next door we’re playing loud music way past 11 pm out on the balcony."
