What a bit of luck that whoever was going to stay at Benson House cancelled because we were lucky enough to fill the vacancy. We found the guest house through a hotel search site and as others have written, were swayed by the very good reviews. Benson House could not have been more conveniently placed. Just 10 minutes walk into... More

A very very good bed and breakfast. A very skilled, helpful and friendly hostess, smart decor, lovely touches like fun size bars of chocolate, a glass of sherry and a robe. Very good breakfast menu, again served well in a very smart room. Having read the revues from jinlil. KRR 1961 and Ian F - they have said it all.... More

I chose this from the reviews as well, and wasn't disappointed. Beautifully decorated, clean, quiet, conveniently located, fabulous breakfast. All the special touches were there. Perfect! Ah, there was a lovely cat, which I appreciated, but allergic people might need to take note of that. More

We chose Benson House from the reviews on this site and they were correct, it is extremely good. We stayed one night in the black and cream room on the top floor. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was huge - two 3 ft beds together but felt like one large 6 ft bed - and very... More

We went back for a second stay as the first was so good and we weren't disappointed! Julie is magnificent, breakfast is superb, rooms are clean, light, friendly and comfortable with all you could ask for - digital flat screen TV, free WiFi with welcoming treats from Julie. There is car parking so you can leave your car in safety... More

We had a lovely stay at this bed and breakfast this weekend. We took my wife's parents (80 yrs of age) who stayed in the ground floor room. We had the room at the top of the house. Both rooms were of an exceptionally high standard and were very, very clean. This establishment is faultless and the owner/proprietress should be... More

This is a lovely B&B! Very modern and tastefully decorated. From beautiful wallpaper and carpets through to flat screen TV's and free WiFi. The breakfast was delicious and our room - we stayed in the attic room which is mainly black and white - was really cosy and comfortable and very clean. There are also lovely little personal touches, such... More

Benson House is about ten minutes stroll from Cambridge city center and the central colleges. Julie gives guests a delicious breakfast, fresh flowers and a little something to eat and drink upon arrival. The rooms are very comfortable, fresh and clean, and there is a friendly cat named Max who sometimes lets himself be petted. Since Benson House is so... More

Very clean, pleasant, excellent breakfasts and congenial guests. Everything worked and though there were two cats, they were endearing! We stay again. More

Just 10 minutes on foot far from the city center, you can find a lovely place. Benson House is perfect if you'd like to feel the mood, the scent and the taste of the most pleasant and lively Britain. We'll miss the excellent english breakfast of its kind and smiley owner and the most beautiful and cute cat in the... More
