"I booked this small room at late notice at a very fair rate, although it was indeed small it suited me fine. It was perfectly situated for some work I was doing and importantly had parking (£18 a day extra for those not booking directly). Staff were kind and friendly, continental breakfast was included and tasty. All in all a happy stay in a quality hotel at a decent price."
"I love this place! It’s beautifully peaceful, but for one night when they had a wedding with music well past 23:00. Still, worth it to stay here right by the water. They have the best views I’ve found in Cambridge. The high tea offering sadly is only a teapot with a tea bag (which makes the American high tea I’ve experienced far better!) but the sandwiches and pastries are certainly tasty."
"It is really very convenient for us to explore around the area. Everything was walkable as we love to walk. And it feels safe when we went out during the night to do a little shopping for food."
"Nice and clean, pretty decor, comfy bed, hot cups of tea. SKY Arts on tv, no air con as it's a historical building but they supplied a fan. At the right rate, I will definately stay again.Thank you to Vicky, Andre and Bridget for making my stay welcoming. "
