This is a great place to stay after long UK journal for us! Relax and enjoyable! Great location for a single day visit of University of Cambridge, and next morning leaving for London Heathrow Airport since it is just 2 minutes walk to the Cambridge train station. Daily rate is very reasonable considering huge/luxury space for my family!
