Good parking and B&B easy to find. We had a room at the back of the Guesthouse. Very quiet and well fitted out with a good range of TV channels, wi-fi in the room, comfortable twin beds, adequate though not very powerful shower. Everything was very clean - when my wife plugged in her phone charger behind the bed even... More

We stayed at this guest house with friends as we wanted a weekend of punting. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, including the bathroom, the owner was very accommodating and allowing us to leave our car there before check in time as we wanted to maximise the day and get there early. The breakfast was excellent and the... More

I loved this B&B. It was in a great location. The bus was around the corner and a 10 minute ride to city center and the train station. There are a lot of restaurants nearby. Also a grocery store is around the corner as well. The B&B served a hot breakfast and/or cereals. The B&B was very clean and airy.... More

Staff was very kind at any time. Room was clear. We stay in Cambridge 3 days. Breakfast was good, english breakfast was fresh-cooked. Hotel is not near city center but it is well connected by buses, but they aren't cheap, about two £ for any trip. The only problem we found was that wi-fi doesn't work in the room. More

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The cooked breakfast was sufficient and satisfying, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. It's a bit of a walk to the city center, but you can take a bus if you prefer, since it stops nearby. More

We stayed in the room overlooking the garden for one night. The room was clean, adequately-sized, and was in a quiet location even though it was on a main road. You have to take a bus to get into the city centre which was a nice way to see the city but it's quite far to walk. The host was... More

Our stay here was neither thrilling nor overly disappointing. Our room was OK although needed some DIY attention. The bed was comfortable. The owners were certainly pleasant. The breakfasts were satisfactory although the full English breakfast came with heated up tinned chopped tomatoes, which was a little sad. The building itself had its faults. Horrible big flat roof dormer windows... More

I stayed here as it was handy for things other than the City Centre (i.e. my mate's house). I know Cambridge fairly well and borrowed a bike etc. to get about but if you are visiting Cambridge for sight-seeing you might stay closer. As other reviews have said though there is a good bus service and a taxi is probably... More

Great reception, we asked a couple of questions to get settled in and each was dealt with happily. A bit away from local dinner establishments, except The Mariners Inn, about 10 minutes walk north has the best Thai food I have ever tried. Breakfast was normal English breakfast, room clean and airy. More
