We stayed here for a stag do recently, and honestly its a great little place. It fitted our needs, with all of us staying in the annex. The pub was even nice anough to call us and advise the above pub rooms were available at a cheaper price! The pub itself is nice, and gets very busy! An open mic... More

We had a great stay here for a friend's stag weekend. Considering the price, I can't really say a bad word about it. We stayed in the annex and which was probably a bit quieter than staying above the pub. Breakfast was great and the pub itself is nice too. More

We stayed here for two nights over Christmas, because we were spending Christmas with relations in Cambridge. In previous years we have stayed at a nearby budget hotel, part of a chain, but wanted somewhere more friendly and less "clinical" this year. The Earl of Derby was just right for this. The staff were very friendly and helpful but, as... More

We picked this hotel as it had a triple room and was close to the Station. It could do with a lick of paint and a deep clean but it was ok. The beds were comfortable and clean and the breakfast was great so thats all that mattered to us as we didn't spend alot of time in the room. More

Whilst the Earl of Derby appears very good value for money (we paid £49 B&B for one night), only consider staying here if other people's dirt doesn't bother you! I had to ask for the sheets to be changed on my arrival as they were stained, and they were then replaced with crumpled sheets I was told were clean but... More

We stayed here for my hen night as it was located close to the train station. We could check in until after 3pm but were told we could leave our bags, however these we left in the hallway leading to the rooms - didnt feel it was safe at all. The room was clean and there was plenty of tea... More

We were disappointed with the room that we stayed in at this Inn. We chose this place because it was walking distance from the train station. The location was good and it was easy to find. It was also walking distance to downtown Cambridge. The disappointment came when we saw the room and especially the bathroom. The mold around the... More

Our room over looked a busy road (not normally a problem but was so noisy.) The room was dirty with dust everywhere and the bathroom was full of hair. The carpets were thread bare and soiled. We could hear everything going on in the other rooms and unfortunately our neighbours played music until 3.30 am! I would not recommend this... More

I have seen some very bad reviews here and feel it is necessary to set the record straight. We spent one night at the Earl of Derby and were definitely impressed. It is comfortable and very clean. It is definitely “5- star in it is class”. We got a special price of £60 for a Sunday night and it included... More
