  Lovely stay in heart of Cambridge

  Liked: Great location, just a short walk into the heart of Cambridge. Check in easy, just visit the Porter's Lodge. Really quiet when we stayed, so had a great night's sleep. Awesome breakfast in the main hall, a better standard than any hotel ive been to, very impressed!! Rooms clean and the grounds immaculate. Do note there is no carpark, the main one is about a 10 minute walk away, but is 24hr. Would highly recommend.

  Liked: The staff were amazing and the grounds beautiful. Really secure accommodation feels very safe. Room well laid out and wonderfully clean

  Disliked: .. The bed was a bit too soft for my taste. The location in terms of grounds is wonderful but the main road is very busy with people leaving the pubs so lots of shouting and cars racing.not the fault of the accommodation
