Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for only one night but very nuch enjoyed our time here. Had the weather been better we could have enjoyed the lovely setting more! The room was pleasant but perhaps a tad small, nonetheless it was fine for us for one night. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the food was first rate. We didn't use the spa facilities so unable to comment on them. The restaurant had a huge old mill wheel on show behind a glass screen. This made for an interesting feature. The hotel was conveniently situated on the edge of Cambridge, near the A14, and only about a seven minute drive to the Cambridge Park and Ride."
