"Lovely vintage rooms, great location for Stockbridge, parking onsite"

9.0

Quaint old rooms with vintage furniture, beams and creaking floorboards

Slight ambient noise from the pub below - really not a big issue though.

"Lovely place, would recommend"

10.0

Lovely place, staff were all pleasant. Great atmosphere in the pub. Rooms were comfy and had everything you would want. Easy to find and a nice leisurely walk into Cambridge. Handy to have a coop opposite too for grabbing a few snacks for the room.

Room was really warm when we arrived but no issue really as we just cracked the window. There was a fan too so if we’d needed to then we could have used it but the window did the trick 👍🏻

"My stay in Cambridge."

7.0

Clean. Location. Male staff were very polite and helpful

Initial welcome by a female staff member was very cold and unfriendly. I had arrived earlier than check-in time because I came by train and had luggage with me. She said, you can check in, but next time you won’t be allowed to. It was the way she said it. It sounded very abrupt as she handed me the keys. There was no have a nice stay. Maybe she was having a bad day or maybe she could learn some professionalism from the other staff who were all courteous and professional. It affected my first impression of the hotel.

"Amazing price, amazing beds, amazing food & and amazing staff"

10.0

Excellent location bright next to river and park if you have a dog. Parking right in front of pub. Sainsburys 1 min across the road. The food is amazing even though there are restaurants nearby I woukd suggest staying in the pub for dinner, excellent eggs royale fir breakfast, I imagine the cooked would be just as tasty. The bedroom was quiet no noise from pub, no noise from street or other rooms. TV and Nespresso machine thst makes Coffee and hot water fir tea. Nice touch newspaper on bed as you arrive. Free wifi and good TV channel choices. The staff were all friendly, this is not said as a cliche for the review, they were really helpful and friendly. Close walk to all campuses and city centre, without the cost of city prices.
