The Three Hills
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
There is a buzzy ambience to this refurbished, child-friendly, dog-friendly 17th-century village pub, named after local tumuli, with restaurant, smart bedrooms and alfresco dining.
Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
For all its charms, Cambridgeshire is not known for its hills – this welcoming village local takes its name from three Iron Age burial mounds, the largest such tumuli north of the Alps. ‘It is probably best described as a pub/restaurant,’ a reader writes, and ‘it delivers on both roles’, as well as being both dog friendly and wallet friendly. When Chris and Sarah Field bought the 17th-century alehouse at the end of 2015 it was tired and outdated. Now white hydrangeas froth around a smart porch. There is a library with log fire for cold days, an orangery restaurant, a heated patio and pizza oven for outdoor dining, landscaped garden running down to the River Granta. The smart Scandi-style bedrooms are serene and uncluttered. Apart from one olive-green twin room, they are painted in soft blues and greys, and all have an espresso machine, a Roberts radio, filtered water, White Company toiletries, a power shower. The menu ticks all the classics boxes, with more inventive dishes such as Moroccan spiced squash and chickpea tagine, apricot, couscous. ‘There’s a buzz about the whole place, with a good mix of eaters, drinkers and relaxed talkers.’ (T and GA, CH)
