Highfields is a great B&B. Pete and Anita are very welcoming hosts. They provide the perfect balance of being helpful and attentive whilst respecting your privacy. The room is immaculately clean on arrival, spacious and comfortable. The shower is hot with good water pressure. Excellent and plentiful cooked breakfast. Easy, secure parking onsite. We have stayed here twice and would definitely do so again.

The only restaurant within reasonable walking distance is a small Chinese takeaway/chippy. However, this shouldn't be a problem for most guests as there is a range of restaurants within 10-15 minute drive.

This bed and breakfast is something special! Located away from traffic, it was quiet and peaceful. The hosts were exceptional, looking after me very well and in a very friendly and professional manner. My single room looked as if it had been recently refurbished, and was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was served to me at the requested time in my room, and as per my specifications given the night before. I was able to park right outside my room which made unloading my car easier, and the security gates to the property meant my car was safe. I look forward to my next chance to stay here, and would highly recommend it.

I would have preferred to have access to a breakfast room, but this is just my personal preference and didn't detract from my enjoyment of my stay here.

Good, filling cooked breakfast, but then swapped to continental. Starting with fruit juice, then cereal (muesli/granola) temptingly presented with yogurt and fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, grapes, raspberries) + warm croissant or pain au chocolat, toast, tea or coffee. During the later evening news the sound went on the tv. Mentioned it to the owners the next morning, the tv had been changed by the time we returned after our day out. Couldn't ask for more. The owners, Pete and Anita, welcoming and very helpful

From the moment I stepped into Highfields Bed and Breakfast, I was enveloped in a sense of warmth and meticulous care. The room was thoroughly clean, with every corner gleaming and every surface spotless, reflecting the staff's unwavering commitment to excellence. Attention to detail was evident everywhere, from the crisply ironed sheets to the neatly arranged amenities that catered to all my needs. It's clear that the staff doesn't just clean; they curate an experience for each guest to feel special and valued. The host was nothing short of excellent striking the perfect balance between professionalism and personable charm. They were attentive without being intrusive, always there to ensure my stay was as comfortable as possible. And then there was the breakfast – oh, the breakfast! A lovely spread that was both hearty and delightful, featuring a variety of choices that catered to different tastes and dietary requirements. Each morning was a new opportunity to indulge in a delicious start to the day. In conclusion, Highfields Bed and Breakfast is a haven of tranquility and comfort. Whether you're passing through or seeking a peaceful retreat, this is the place where every detail is taken care of so you can relax and enjoy your stay.

It’s difficult to put into words what an amazing find Highfields Holiday B&B was for us but here goes. We arrived quite late on a miserable autumn/winter day to receive the warmest of welcomes from Peter. Everything was perfect for our mini-break, from the mince pies to have with a hot drink and fresh milk in the fridge to the room and utilities which were spotlessly clean. Our room was VERY spacious and bigger than the photos made it seem. Nothing was a bother for the owners Pete and Anita and we were extremely lucky to be offered cooked breakfasts during our break, and, with winter upon us, they were a perfect addition to stay. Although lunch and dinner isn’t an option there is a Chinese takeaway (highly recommended) about 4 minutes walk from the B&B, a couple of pubs nearby (didn’t venture in though) and a supermarket 1.4 miles away (walking distance). Whittlesey village/town is about a couple of miles away too and Whittlesea Train Station about 3 miles away with links to Peterborough Central and Cambridge amongst other cities. As for returning for another break? Definitely!!! Our stay couldn’t have been better and for that alone we give it 10/10.

Nothing, everything was spot on

We had a cooked breakfast which was well presented and not greasy. Checked that we had all we needed and offered more juice, coffee etc. From a natural history perspective very good location as very near a reserve. Also lake at property and another down the lane. Offered us a doubled bedded room (and spacious) instead of twin bedded we had originally booked which we appreciated. Lovely shower. Easy to connect to Wifi (free).

Bed sagged a little in the middle! Otherwise nothing to dislike.

Gorgeous setting with a lake round the back, very scenic. Well located for a day event I went to. Single room was small but comfortable, very clean. Breakfast served straight to the room which has its own entrance. Would stay again!

If I had to make a recommendation it would be nice to have a YouTube app on the TV but that was really not a big deal as I finally managed to catch up on Bake Off rather than being on YouTube 😄

Amazing place. Lovely staff, and a really good breakfast. Unfortunately our stay was not long enough to take in the surrounding areas but we did have an amazing Chinese meal in the next town the night we arrived.

We stayed in January so weather was very cold and unfortunately the one radiator in our room did not give out enough heat to keep the room cosy so we had to wear layers to bed to keep warm. The light from the bathroom shone through the door into the bedroom.

I booked as a last minute with work and as I was unsure where I would be in the evening. as soon as I had booked they messaged me with all the details and I rang up just to let them know I would be only 30 mins. Richard was very welcoming and helpful. The single room I stopped in was a good size and the bed was a big single, not one of those tiny single beds you can get. In the morning Richard brought me a great continental breakfast, fresh fruit, toast a croissant and cereal too. I didn’t manage to go for a walk around the ground but from what I could see they were spectacular. thanks for being so accommodating at last minute. also it’s all within a gated area so as I have a van I felt my very confident leaving it in the car park area. I will definitely be booking again if I’m ever in the area again.

Online it stated a studio with lake view. I then saw photos of the shepherds hut post booking. When we arrived we were told that’s where we were staying. I was over the moon as that’s what I wanted to book. Hosts were so helpful and just down to earth. The hut its self was just perfection. So quiet and just your own little space. The facilities in the hut were just what you needed. All necessities and the bathroom actually surprised me. Such a lovely spot and you can tell the time and love spent to make the hut the home away from home. I’ve never fallen to sleep so quick. The bed is so comfty. All in all I would have stayed for a week or even a month. It’s just perfect. Would recommend to anyone who wants somewhere that’s just cosy and secluded. Last but not least I can’t forget the cutest fluffiest ginger cat. So pleasant and sociable.

I don’t think there is anything. The water tank could do with being a little bigger but the amount of water you get is just right what what you need to do in the shower
