"Always stay here when we are in Cambridge. Always clean, quiet and comfortable. Positioned a little outside the centre, it’s a lovely walk across fields to town. This means it’s not as expensive as other hotels in the area, but you get excellent, quiet comfortable rooms- larger than lots we’ve paid more for. Would recommend wholeheartedly."

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."
