    helpful staff
    enjoyable breakfast

    This hotel was just right for a weekend in Cambridge at a reasonable price. Breakfast was average but mostly enjoyable, serves good coffee and the staff were helpful. Watch out for the extra parking fees, they can catch you off guard.

    warm atmosphere
    lovely staff
    damp smell
    wet carpet

    The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly lovely, making the experience enjoyable. the room had a damp smell and a wet carpet near the bathroom, which was surprising. Despite these downsides, the pub downstairs was charming with tasty food.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I was absolutely enchanted by the historical charm of this venue! The rustic decor and exposed beams gave the place a unique atmosphere that you just can't find in modern hotels. Plus, the delightful breakfast outdoors while watching the planes take off was such a treat!

    would recommend 🥰✨

    enthusiastic atmosphere
    clean bathroom
    closed dining options
    no storage space
    tight squeeze

    Pleasant staff and an enthusiastic atmosphere throughout the stay, though the room was quite small and lacking adequate storage space for toiletries. Dining options were excellent, highlighted by a magnificent steak dinner, but be aware that evening options may close earlier than expected. Clean and modern bathroom facilities, yet a tighter shower experience may deter longer stays.

    Charming ambiance with friendly staff

    I loved the historic character of the building, which added a unique charm to my stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist. I found the dining options a bit limited, and the breakfast service could use improvement.

    comfortable bed
    great shower

    Solo traveler beware of the noise

    The bed was comfy enough even tho it was two singles shoved together, so I managed to get a bit of sleep. The shower had fantastic pressure, I tell ya it was the best part of the stay, hot enough to take the chill off.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, prices felt a bit steep for the experience I got.

    charming building
    comfy rooms
    unbearable heat

    Charming old building with comfy rooms and serene surroundings. Ideal spot for exploring nearby attractions and just a hop from the train station for a quick jaunt into the city. Great value for money too!

    Room was as hot as a sauna—good luck sleeping unless you're part lizard! And waking up to the sound of road noise? A true morning alarm that I didn’t sign up for.
