I spent 3 nights at Benson House this past week-end and was delighted with the professional and friendly service, the tasteful decor and the attention to detail. I was given a newly renovated attic room, small but absolutely comfortable in every way. The location is also ideal, close to New Hall and an easy walk to the town centre but... more

I stayed there for 6 nights in August. Very clean room and delicious breakfasts. It's a B&B that has hotel quality of service. more

Four buddies stayed at the Benson House this past weekend and we were impressed with the cleanliness and service of the Benson House staff. Our breakfast was outstanding - proper, good...and served with all points. I'm exhausted from travels right now, so my superlatives are rather muted, but I didn't want the moment to go by without giving my recommendation.... more

Julie runs a tight ship. If you're traveling by yourself, or as a couple or a small party, you will not find a better value in Cambridge. Immaculately clean, great breakfasts, everything handled properly. Highly recommended. (And only a 10 minute walk from King's.) more

The host, Julie, is very friendly and she serves an excellent breakfast. As others have stated, it's a 10-15 minute walk to... more

After having found Benson House last year, I have stayed there regularly, about five or six times. I have business in the area, as well as a child at school there. Benson House has become a home away from home, but remarkably clean and newly renovated. The breakfast is better than at most B&B's I've stayed at - fresh ingredients,... more

Myself and my girlfriend were visiting Cambridge for a break from London, and so were looking for somewhere comfortable and stylish, and close to the city centre as we weren't driving. After reading the reviews on this site, Benson House seemed to meet our requirements, and we weren't disappointed. Our room was lovely, tastefully decorated and with carefully considered furnishings.... more
