We have stayed here twice now and cannot praise it highly enough.They bend over backwards to make our stay perfect and it is!

Helen is a great hostess, paying attention to every detail.Great slice of cake on arrival, excellent breakfast on departure, spotless and comfortable room in between.

Always a pleasure to stay at Helen's - Breakfast is like being at home

10 out of 10 for accommodation. 10 out of 10 for our hostess. Highly recommend this b&b. Well placed for Cambridge and the great Cambridgeshire countywide.

Thank you for your review Noel.Hope you had a good journey home.Do come again next year for a more successful search!

My wife and I stayed in this most pleasant B&B. Our room was beautifully appointed as was the rest of the house.Breakfast, looking out at the garden, was excellent - so much so that we bought some of the great sausages from the farm and had them for dinner!And Helen is a very welcoming hostess.

Wonderful spacious room, beautifully presented. Warm welcome by host who was very helpful with suggestions for exploring the local area. Homemade chocolate cake on arrival and the most fabulous cooked breakfast. Highly recommended. Instructions for checking in for guests could be a little clearer

Helen keeps you fully informed and up to date even before you arrive!No grumbles whatsoever.

Thank you for your review.It was lovely to see you again and hope to see you next time.Best wishes,Helen

I spent 2 and a half weeks staying at Over BnB during a business trip. The property has two available rooms, both are spacious and have everything required for a comfortable stay, I can’t fault either room. Helen and her husband are very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast each day was cooked to order using local produce, in addition there was fresh fruit, cereals, homemade bread and preserves, freshly squeezed juice and yogurt - everything tasted fantastic! The homemade cake left in the room each day was a perfect accompaniment after a busy day. The property is situated in an ideal location for walking, running and exploring Cambridgeshire. Helen and her husband are happy to provide maps and guidance on the best places to visit locally. A home from home, I would not hesitate to return.

It was a lovely experience from parking our car until we departed the next morning. It far excelled it's self and we will be returning as it was an exceptional bed and breakfast. The land lady could not do enough for us she was wonderful. This establishment deserves 5 stars.Absolutely nothing that we didn't like.

Helen the proprietor was super - made me a homemade biscuit! Very pleasant lady.

Response

Thank you for staying at Over Bed and Breakfast.Must have been a good batch of biscuits!

Such a great find:Over B and B had everything we wanted and more. Helen was a great host with brilliant advice and local knowledge. From the fair trade coffee and tea, gluten free cake on arrival, modern bathrooms and spacious as well as comfortable rooms, everything was perfect. Breakfast was out of this world with locally sourced (and amazingly tasty) food, all dished out in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.I loved everything:it matched our requirement perfectly and I can only recommend! I am looking forward to coming back soon!

Response

Thanks for taking the time to do a review. Look forward to seeing you again next year. Helen

The garden and house are really beautiful, and at breakfast we enjoyed fruit picked straight from the garden. Helen was extremely helpful when I contacted her to ask a few questions before we arrived. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious, beautiful crisp sheets, tea and coffee (including cafetiere) too.Everything was lovely, nothing needed to be improved.

Response

Thanks for your kind words.It was great to have you all to stay.

My husband and I enjoyed yet another brief visit to Helen's B & B and once again we were well looked after.Warm welcome, delicious breakfast.

Dear Alec and Jean, thanks for your review and so glad you enjoyed your stay, and the comfortable bed! Do come again if you are in the area.

We were bowled over at the friendliness of our host, her guidance for walks in the area, the comfort of our bed (great sleep) and the all round peacefulness of our stay in this unassuming but thoroughly excellent B&B. Highly recommend this place!

Response

So glad you enjoyed your stay and the lovely fen countryside around us.

Really nice one night stay

Response

Thanks for reviewing Over BnB.

Couple of nights stay to meet relatives and drop son at college.Rooms were spotlessly clean, warm, spacious and welcoming. Helen is very friendly and helpful and provides delicious breakfasts

Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the BnB. Glad all went smoothly with delivering your son to College! Helen

Lovely, spacious, comfortable room, spotlessly clean, large comfortable bed, sofa, very nice ensuite shower room with quality fitments.Its a tad out of the way, the village is very quiet, about 25 minutes into Cambridge

Response

Dear Geri, Thanks for taking the time to review the BnB. Hope you had a good day in Cambridge. Helen

Our hostess could not have been more helpful and friendly with her advice. She even mapped out a walk for us to do when we expressed an interest in doing that and recommended places to eat and visit in the area. We all had such a comfortable and relaxing long weekend in Over Bed & Breakfast and would highly recommend it to anyone needing to visit Cambridge!

Response

Thanks for your review. Glad to enjoyed walking the area - just one of many around here! Best wishes, Helen

An overnight stay to celebrate friends ruby wedding in Over.Room and food were excellent and we enjoyed our overnight stay immensely .

Response

Thank your for staying at Over BnB - so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Stayed overnight before son's university interview and the quiet, warm, comfortable, well-equipped rooms meant we all slept very well. Helen was very helpful about where to eat and information about the park and ride (only a five minute drive away.Everything fine, and loved the welcoming flapjacks.

Response

Thanks so much for your review and for your comment about explaining about the private entrances to each room, one across the garden.

Very welcoming, beautiful accommodation and excellent breakfastEverything

Hello Chris, Thank your for your review. Hope you had a good onward journey north and enjoyed your visit to Ely! Look forward to seeing you again if you are in the area.

Stayed with my partner for one night in March.Village centre location with pub and shop next door. The room is very nicely furnished with quality fixtures and fittings, with a lovely walk-in shower enclosure. The bed and bedding is very comfy.The only negative was actually finding the building, and then getting someone's attention on arrival. There are no signs to identify the B&B, only the gallery. This could be an advantage though!

Response

Thank you for your review and sorry that you didn't find us easily - thanks for the feedback on the lack of a sign. Perhaps it is time to get one - the reason for not having it is that I don't want people turning up without prebooking - but perhaps it is time to reconsider! Glad you enjoyed your stay - do come back if you are in the area again! Helen

Lovely room and a great breakfast

Very comfortable and clean accommodation with a delicious breakfast. Helen made us welcome and was very helpful.

Hard to fault any aspect of our brief stay.Made very welcome, lovely cosy room with good facilities.Excellent substantial breakfast with tomatoes from the greenhouse and including raspberries from the allotment.All highly recommended.

The best B&B we've experienced!Lovely big room, very clean, fantastic shower/ensuite.The bed was extremely comfortable and the attention to detail was excellent with the fresh coffee and fruit at breakfast.Feel we definetly had our money's worth and more.

This B &B is one of the very best we have had the pleasure of staying at. The room and bathroom are immaculate. The bed was huge and comfy. The shower was very roomy. There was a window at each end of the room, allowing a great breeze at night time. There was a grand selection for breakfast - fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal and a fresh cooked breakfast. Helen was a most pleasant and helpful hostess. Ample parking and the beautiful picturesque village of Over. I sincerely hope we have more reason to vist Over B&B for future business!

Dear Adrian,Thanks so much for your review.It was great to have you stay.With best wishes,Helen

We had a great stay and were made very welcome. The room was fabulous with a massive double bed. Equally breakfast was superb. It is a great location to visit Cambridge as the Guided Busway Park and Ride is only a few minutes away by car at Longstanton and buses are very frequent and run all day and evening. Overall, we were very impressed and recommend it highly.

My overnight stay at Over Bed and Breakfast was very pleasant.My room was lovely and comfortable with very easy access. The proprietors are lovely, friendly, easy going people and I will definitely be staying again when I am next in Cambridge

Excellent bed &breakfast, clean, spacious, verywelcoming owner, private parking, separate entrance to room, proper home cooked breakfast, i did request porridge before i arrived, that was also no problem, Over is a lovely village i grew up there as a child and not a lot has changed. Highly recommended!

Really great accomodation

Response

Thanks you so much.Lovely to have to staying with us.

We found Over bed and breakfast a lovely place to stay.Helen , the owner ,was friendly and very helpful.The room was very comfortable and large which was great. Breakfast was very good and lots of choice would highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Recommend food in pub next door too.

A gorgeous B&B, excellent facilities, a great power shower, delicious breakfast and a superb host Helen! 10/10!!

Over the bank holiday weekend, my girlfriend and I went on a 150+ mile bicycle tour in Cambridgeshire. We were extremely tired by the time we reached Over Bed and Breakfast and we were pleased to arrive at a very nice, clean, large en-suite room, with a powerful shower and a comfortable bed. The full English breakfast was excellent (just what we needed ahead of our third consecutive day of cycling) and Helen even made us some very nice sandwiches for our lunch. I have only stayed in a couple of Bed and Breakfasts before, but this was by far the best and it was just what we needed to relax and recharge.

We spent 1 night at this lovely bed and breakfast. The room was very spacious witha great en-suite. The breakfast was delicious. Helen made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone visiting the area.

Another excellent stay at the Over B&B.Fantastic breakfast and lovely room.Thank you again to Helen for her hospitality.

Helen is an excellent host. Nothing is too much trouble, and she pays attention to all the little details. Our room was perfect, and the breakfast was delicious.

Over Bed and Breakfast is, by definition, a B&B yet I have stayed in 3 and 4 star hotels that are nowhere near as good as this. The rooms are vast and equipped/furnished to perfection. Top class en-suite fittings etc. You'd have to be a very fussy traveller (mind you, many Brits fall into that category!!) to be anything but delighted with this place!

Response

Thanks so much for your comments.Hope you have a lovely holiday!Helen

Very welcoming, lovely room, and an excellent breakfast. Helen was very friendly and has created a homely place to stay.

My wife and I stayed for five nights and were impressed with the cleanliness, facilities, and level of service offered by Helen at her B&B. The bed was particularly comfortable and the bathroom facilities of a very high standard. As my parents live in the village, we decided that our toddler would sleep over at their house, and that we would skip the breakfast part of the B&B experience. Helen was wonderfully flexible about this and offered us a discount as we didn't make use of these services. A very agreeable stay, and we shall most certainly be making a return visit.

Response

Thank you for your feedback which is very much appreciated.Very pleased to have been able to provide the extra room you needed!Look forward to seeing you again.

Quality accommodation, friendly, helpful host, tasty breakfast, good value.

Response

Thank you for your review - so glad you enjoyed your stay.

overall good experience , but no house number or street sign made it difficult to find . Bring your own soap, shampoo etc as none is provided

Response

Thank you for your review.I am mystified by your comment about the toiletries.I provide very nice soap, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, shower caps, cotton wood pads, and a mending kit - they are in the little bit of the bathroom by the sink.I agree about getting a sign and am getting one made at the moment.Glad you enjoyed your stay overall but sorry that you had some problems.

Very friendly host. Advice given re where to eat out. Comfortable accommodation with modern fittings and furniture. Enjoyable breakfast, good start to the day. Would recommend itto others, thank you.

Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Really top notch, spacious accomodation with excellent furnishings and bathroom. in a lovely old village house in a small village close to cambridge / A14.Great breakfasts too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review.Look forward to seeing you again.Helen

Such a lovely and welcomming palce to saty, the room and bathroom were perfect, and breakfast was delicious. I would recommend this to my family and friends if they needed somewhere to stay in the area.

Beautiful excellent value B &B. We stayed here whilst visiting our Son, who is studying at Queens College Cambridge. It was a quick and easy 10 minute drive from the centre of Cambridge. We booked the family room and our parents had the downstairs room. It was very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast on Sunday morning was delicious and outstanding quality food served in a lovely summer room, which made us forget it was a cold November day outside. Helen the owner was very helpful and friendly. We would most certainly stay again and recommend to others. If I had to find one tiny fault, I like my food served on a warmed plate...but that really was the only thing that I had a tiny winge at to myself!

What a wonderful find. We stayed for two nights in the spacious first floor room, it was cosy, comfy and had everything you could want and Helen the proprietor was so courteous, polite yet unobtrusive,she did everything she could to help us with any information we needed. Although Over the village is very quiet it isn't far to get to the Park and Ride, a superb new system that drives round the villages connecting them to Cambridge, we loved it and will definitely be back especially for her fabulous breakfasts which she cooked to order. Thank you Helen for making our trip so memorable.

Very pleasant and relaxing stay. Owner made us feel very welcome and was helpful with planning our days out in the area. Exceptionally good room, well decorated, clean and plenty of space including sofa area. (Just need a mirror in the main bed room. Best value for money. We've stayed in places that charge more for a lot less. Highly recommended.

A stylish, comfortable, private stopover for us with modern facilities and very spacious as well - even a couch to relax on. Helen was a wonderful host and she cooks a great breakfast. A nice local pub meal is only minutes walk away.

Response

Dear Bill,Thank you so much for reviewing the B and B and for your kind comments.It really does help with promoting the B and B to visitors.Hope you had a good day in Cambridge and are still enjoying the final leg of your trip.Best wishes,Helen

Restful, comfortable and tastefully presented. Very welcoming. Good choices for breakfast.Suggest recommendation for approach route via Bar Hill junction off A14, (via Willingham)
