Loved the romantic room as the size was amazing. A quiet location with stunning views and we loved sitting there with a cuppa and relaxing. Easy parking. Bed was comfy. Clean bathroom. We appreciated the friendly reception and close walking distance to the park and ride. This made it an excellent location.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was small. The location is okay; takes about 15 min to walk to west Cambridge. But there are no sidewalks or proper traffic lights, so you have to walk a bit on a dirt road. Feel not very safe to walk after sunset. I moved to hotels in Eddington after the stay.
