On business travel, needed a bed and internet, and to be walking distance to other things in town, this fits the bill. The room was fine, although I had to turn the heat on so it was a bit cold at first. The shower is funky but fine, I think all showers in the UK are funky anyway. Breakfast was... More

I was in Cambridge for a conference and as a graduate student, needed to do it on a budget. I got a 'very small single' room, and was really pleased with the value I got. The first night I was given a large double room in the annex, as my single wasn't ready, but for the rest of the week,... More

We stayed here in October during high season in Cambridge due to graduation time. It's a bit hard to rate this place for price-quality; we paid 80 pounds a night and for that money you can get a lot nicer hotels in other places in the UK, but we couldn't find anything cheaper in Cambridge and there were not many...

Stayed here 1 night, I would not want to spend a whole week! Owners are very nice and polite, breakfast is fantastic (choice between cooked, continental, vegetarian)! The place is not 4 star neither is the price! Rooms, furniture, carpet look tired! Good location 15 mins from city center. Great park nearby if you like to run (i think its... More

On the plus side, you have a lovely 20 minute walk along the riverside into Cambridge and there are plenty of nearby places to eat out. It is also clean. However, how this rates as a 4 Star accommodation baffled my wife and myself. The room itself was small, but was large in comparison to the en-suite bathroom, which was... More

Booked this b&b last minute and was a bit worried at it had a few negative reviews but it was better than I expected. We were fortunate enough to be put in the newer part at the back of the carpark and although the room was small with a tiny en-suite, it was very clean and was fine for a... More

We do not think this is a 4 star guest house as advertised. The website states a 12-15 minute walk into the town centre, but we took 25+ minutes ( trying 3 different routes ), and we are quick walkers.In the house itself the decor is more student accommodation. Our room was a double but the wardrobe was quite small... More

Went for a weekend break for my birthday but very disappointed with accommodation, would never go back and would not recommend it. Were given a double room in the annex, a house in a street over the road. Room very small. En suite very very small, had to have the door open to use the wash basin, but door would... More

Visited as a family in a triple room to check out the university. Ideal location for the colleges we wanted to see, and whilst the room was very compact, it was clean and had a comfortable bed. Free parking (limited) was a bonus More

The location of the hotel is fairly good, being about a 20 minute stroll into central Cambridge. There is parking but this fills up quickly leaving on-street parking as the only other option. The staff and service were friendly if a tad curt. The communal areas were a little dated, the carpet is more Fawlty Towers than Sofitel. My room... More
