Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"We chose this hotel as it was accessible for getting into the swimming pool. I could easily walk down into the pool and swim which I enjoy doing. Breakfast was good. The room was nice and the beds comfortable. We didnt have dinner there so dont know what that is like. Parking was on site and free."
