    The location of the property was marvellous, close to the centre of Cambridge, we were able to park at the property for a fee of £18 per night which is a lot cheaper than public car parks in the area. The cost of the hotel was less than the regular chain hotels which although modern always lack character and comfort. The hotel provided a map of the town which made it easy to find our way around. The hotel is just by the river so ideal for evening walks along there and opposite one of the large green areas which was lovely to walk through.

    The location was ideal for the business trip that I undertook. I booked a studio apartment which was essentially the kitchen and breakfast room of a terraced house. While 'compact' living was the order of the day, everything was spotlessly clean and well presented. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped.

    Check in and out was easier. The room was very clean and comfortable. It exceeded my expectations. The grounds are beautiful- I can undertand why it is an attractive location for weddings. It is easy distance from the park and ride, which makes transportation into town easy and much cheaper than parking.

    Excellent location for Duxford air show Good parking in large private garage (plenty big enough for a Volvo XC60 with room to spare) VERY well equipped with all kitchen items you'd need, spare duvets, covers, towels, cleaning equipment etc. Very clean Spacious property with large living room/kitchen and 2 large bedrooms with large double beds, along with seperate sofa bed. Accommodation in Cambridge isn't cheap! I'd say however this property is good value compared to those in the area.
