  Liked: I had a wonderful stay at The Waterman during my solo trip to Cambridge for my birthday. The location was great for exploring the city, and it was a lovely base to come back to after a day of sightseeing. I really enjoyed my time in Cambridge, and staying here made the experience even more special. It was the perfect place for a little solo getaway, and I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The room was lovely and had everything you'd need.
