Nothing.

Everything, was a lovely comfortable place to stay and very well equipped.

Stayed in April 2024

The door was open on arrival which spooked us a bit and also there was no bathroom light working and no light in the corridor between living area and bedroom. Contacted the owner after we got home so hopefully that will be sorted.

We loved the location as we were attending a wedding at the town Hall, bed was comfortable and it had all of the amenities that were required

The bed had a soft matress and felt uncomfortable.

It was a very nice, old style, apartment. Lovely equipped kitchen. Great shower.

The rest of the property was very well stocked but my partner would have appreciated some mini milk cartons to make a cup of tea. Also, the clock in the bedroom was lovely looking, but very loud!

Very cute, good location

The location was ideal for us to use the train to go to Ely and Cambridge. Plenty of shops and eateries too

Surprised compared to all places stayed over past few years that there was no WIFI

Very quiet, very comfortable and lovely kitchen and living room

Stayed in November 2022

Low ceilings…. but more the fault of my genetics than the property - which is a very old building from a time when people were shorter :)

very convenient and clean.

Loud music nearby at night. We had to phone to get door code. This should have been emailed before arrival.

Location was near town centre . Outdoor seating.

Stayed in June 2022

Ideally located in the centre of the town, great for getting out and about to see places of interest. Plenty of eating places to hand, great selection of shops and free carparking available.

Brilliant location.

The bathroom light switch was temperamental, turning on & off.

The shower was very good! The bed was amazing! So comfy.

We liked everything about the property, it suited us perfectly

The Beehive is a beautiful characterful property, very quiet and in a great location for local restaurants and a nice pub nearby. Good central location for exploring the area by car.

The door code is too low and difficult to see. The door is rickety and the code is a faff. On arrival somebodies clothes drying on radiators. Floor uneven cold and perilous with holes all over. Soft toys everywhere in bedroom so nowhere to put drinks at bedside. Cups and plates full of dust and grit.Am 6 ft and had to duck taller than me you have had it. Towel had a head sized hole in it and all were threadbare. People upstairs talked and it was like they werein the room with us. Worth about 20 quid a night one up from sleeping in a cave. Telly lucky I have a firestick myself otherwise you will give up. No telly for you. Mirror balanced on drawers clumsy grandson nearly wore it on a visit. Thanks to Dad who saved you from gettinhg sued.

No breakfast room only

The electrics were not working properly and could not get in touch with the owner (which was because her daughter was in hospital which she told us on Wednesday evening when she got in touch.

Stayed in February 2024

Made contact with the owner over two issues, and although she eventually replied nobody came to resolve them for us. Unfortunately, these problems did spoil things for us.

Cute and cosy cottage. Excellent location for the town, restaurants etc.

Absolutely nothing

It was so lovely and quaint, quiet and secluded, never heard anything all night and the window open in the bedroom all night

Despite its excellent location, the Beehive was a huge disappointment. Entry to the property is via a side entrance through a double gate into a small courtyard which also contains the “Treehouse” another rental property. The door is secured by a code entered into a keypad which is below waist height and necessitates crouching to enter the code and gain entry. There is no light so getting the door open in the dark can be very demanding. The property is very compact with virtually no storage space except for a small open-fronted hanging area in the bedroom. There is no drawer space which makes a seven-night stay extremely challenging. The TV in the bedroom takes up valuable floor space and should be removed. The bed was comfortable and the linen was clean. However, the living area was not clean. There were tea stains on the bin, a used drinking straw on the sofa, cobwebs around the bathroom door and bedding in the washing machine. On the plus side the shower is excellent albeit nerve-wracking until you realize that it won’t actually overflow onto the floor. The bathroom, however, would benefit greatly from an Xpelair fan as we needed to leave the window open to clear the steam, a practice that would be unacceptable in colder weather. The outside area is completely overgrown with bamboo and was unusable. Notwithstanding any of the above, the major defects of the Beehive are a total lack of privacy and the complete absence of any natural light in the living area. The former is caused by the fact that there is only a thin dividing door between the Beehive and the adjoining property, the King’s Inn, meaning that even a normal conversation in either property is easily audible to the guests in the other one. The lack of light is caused by the privacy film that has been fixed to the window in the living area. We paid £665 for a seven-night stay, after two nights we contemplated leaving but stayed only because the adjoining property had become vacant.

Not what was expected from the photographs. The beehive would be better described as a hobbit house. It was dingy and dark the TV didn't work. The house smelt damp. We were pleased we were there only for one night on route. We would not go again and it was not value for money.

Very well located in the town.

Stayed in July 2023

A lovely little cozy place. I loved the decor, the soft bed, the little garden. I particularly enjoyed the hot shower as we had two very busy, long days. Thank you, also, for the tea!

Stayed in May 2023

No dogs? I don't understand why we'll behaved dogs couldn't be allowed, given the floor is cobbled - not carpeted?

It's a very quirky apartment, full of references to bees - which is lovely.
