Lovely spot for afternoon tea just off the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon.

What a lovely place! My 86 year old mother & I had a wonderful Afternoon Tea here today. The food was delicious and the staff friendly & helpful. A particular mention must go to Toby who was extremely attentive and checked regularly if everything was perfect for us. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend a visit ?

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Carriages in Cambridge. I had booked afternoon tea for Saturday 23rd August to celebrate my 30th birthday, something I?d been looking forward to for months, especially as this would have been my first special outing after having my baby just 8 weeks ago.
When I originally booked on 29th March, I called ahead to explain that I would have a pushchair with a newborn baby as I wanted to book a private carriage for my birthday to make it extra special. I was advised to book the Lancelot carriage, as it had wheelchair and buggy access, and I followed that advice and booked. The booking was made 5 months in advance.
This morning, just three days before my birthday, I received a call telling me that my booking was being cancelled because a larger party required wheelchair access. I was told they wasn?t enough room for our pram and ideally pushchairs aren?t allowed on weekends and was offered a weekday instead. This completely defeated the purpose, as the whole reason was to celebrate my birthday on the day itself.
Not only was this last-minute cancellation upsetting, but the way it was handled was appalling. When I called back to cancel, the staff member was rude, argumentative, and insisted it was my responsibility to call to confirm that I would need pushchair access despite the fact I had already done so at the time of booking and followed their advice.
According to their own website, the Lancelot carriage is specifically designed for wheelchair and buggy access. It is deeply disappointing that my booking was pushed aside for another group, and it raises the serious question: would you ever cancel a wheelchair user?s booking in the same way? I would also like to mention there is no information about this on their website only a small section on the booking form which you have to scroll down to see. There was no genuine apology or attempt to make things right.
Carriages of Cambridge completely ruined what should have been a special milestone birthday for me, and their lack of care, empathy, and professionalism was shocking. I would not recommend them to anyone, and I certainly won?t be returning.

Excellent afternoon tea - I had the gluten free one, the bread for the sandwiches was so good, and the canes were amazing!
The staff was also excellent, polite and attentive:)

We got a gift for a high tea outing here and had a nice time. The food, surrounding and the ambience is really nice. The setup is quite beautiful and they have done an amazing job arranging the experience. By the way, don't forget to enjoy their beautiful garden too ? All in all a really good outing and I would highly recommend ??

My friend and I absolutely loved our tea for two experience. From the moment we checked in, we were looked after brilliantly. The afternoon tea was outstanding- the best I have ever had- and the setting was just beautiful, from the landscaping to the train to the museum. Would hugely recommend, especially if you want an extra special treat or celebration!
