Chequer Cottage

Delightful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were very welcoming and a great breakfast selection. We would highly recommend this lovely B&B.

Just got home from a wonderful stay at Chequer Cottage in Horseheath. We travel a lot and this is one of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed at. Debbie and Dave were there to greet us on the driveway as we arrived and were very warm and friendly from the off, giving us advice on local things to do and places to eat nearby. The room itself is seperate to the house above the garage and overlooks the stunning garden which was very cosy inside, lots of coffee and tea options, a spacious bathroom and also lots of added extras such as homemade cookies, a carafe of port, gin and chocolates which went down well and were lovely touches. The bed and pillows were very comfortable for a peaceful nights sleep as the village itself is quaint and quiet- it's worth a wander down the street to see all the thatched roofs and pretty gardens including Chequer Cottage. We both loved the welcome pack in the drawer under the coffee station giving the history of the building and the village of Horseheath itself, well worth a read. The next morning we went down for breakfast which included a strawberry compote, Cereals, toast, croissants, tea, coffee, orange juice and a cooked breakfast of your choice which was delicious. We spent 1 day at Duxford Airfield and 1 day in Cambridge, both only a 15-20 minute drive away and Horseheath was the perfect location for us. All in all, we couldn't fault our stay other than we wished we'd booked for longer. Will recommend to friends and family. Debbie and Dave were lovely hosts. Adam and Claire

We’ll never know what it was like because the owner rented the b&b to someone else, although we had a confirmed booking. They didn’t have the courtesy to apologise, simply asked us to wait another 30 minutes for them to return. As it was a very hot day and they said their one room was not available, and we had already been waiting for an hour we left. We were told there had been a booking made for a whole week, so obviously the owners had no qualms about dumping our one night! Very unprofessional. When we rang the given contact number we could hear the phone ringing in the vacant house! This is also a room above a garage, accessed by an uncovered staircase, so not great if it’s raining! The garden we spent a very thirsty hour and a half in was very pretty!
