Very helpful friendly reception staff , we couldn’t get in the main restaurant so they called “The willows “ which was on the same site to make sure we could get food there and also watch the football which was what interested my son. Room was lovely, clean, comfy huge bed and lovely powerful shower in the bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was buffet, constantly topped up with fresh food. Lovely quiet setting would definitely come back but would make sure we arrived in time to use the pool.

I'll start with the good - there was plenty of parking and the bed was comfortable! As for the rest of the Willows, the building is old, the inside is tired, run down and in need of complete refurbishment - as a bare minimum, the whole place needs a really good clean. The rooms and bathrooms are basic and at best functional. The carpets in the corridors are rucked up and serious trip hazards; the fire doors have holes in them where handles have been changed (what sort of fire door is that?). You get the gist... They are understaffed - we had to wander around the building trying to find someone to serve us at the bar on our first night. On the second night, there were just 2 young and inexperienced staff behind the bar despite there being a function for over 100 people. The wait was ridiculous, the staff didn't know their red wines from their white, and the drinks were overpriced - £1.70 for a dash of blackcurrant, £6.50 for a pint of beer! As for security, it's a joke. On returning to our room one evening we found that the cleaner had opened the window and left it wide open all day - and I mean WIDE open. Bearing in mind the room was on the ground floor, anyone could have climbed in and helped themselves to our belongings. The whole experience is one I would not choose to repeat. I have just tried to fill in the customer experience questionnaire, which Wyboston Lakes emailed a link for - but guess what... the link doesn't work! That sums up Wyboston Lakes and the Willows.

Another pleasant stay at this hotel. Ideal location for visiting family. Only real issue is car park and width of bays. Too narrow if a contractors van is parked next to you ( and there are very often vans parked there ).

A great place for a weekend break. 13 of us had the most wonderful time and nothing was to much trouble. Located right by the river, sitting on the terrace watching the swans and the boats gently float by was most relaxing. Best thing about the Kingfisher was the level of service we received. We all thought the staff were outstanding. All working together as a team, our comfort was their main concern. From the check in at a very friendly reception all the way through to the bar and restaurant staff, everyone was extremely friendly and happy to help no matter what the question. The rooms are spacious and well equipped for the length of stay. very clean, nice large bed good size TV and tea & coffee making facilities. We had a view of the car park, I am sure that nicer views are available. Restaurant food was very good, we ate their both nights. Very large portions and all cooked very well. A well stocked bar with a very impressive draft beer selection. If I was to complain about anything, I would suggest that the availability of a decent cup of coffee at breakfast was an issue. With only instant available during our stay, if you are a coffee snob, you will be disappointed. There was a wedding party Saturday night and some of the guests were very noisy leaving the party at gone midnight, but that was not the Kingfishers fault. Would I recommend this location - absolutely I would.

It's very expensive for the location. The room was as expected but the duvet could have been a bit heavier and warmer. Breakfast was well cooked and had variety to choose from. Overall, excellent and great service. I'll definitely recommend to my friends and family and I will definitely visit again soon.
