Autumn House in Cambridge established in 2009 free WiFi. FREE parking for 4 cars at property. Alternative free parking is available at the side of the guest house. Free complimentary cereal yogurts provided.

Location was great: 5 min from bus station. Al is a wonderful host, very responsive and attentive to my needs. When checking-in, he provided me a quick orientation on Cambridge, what to do and recommendations. Also he showed me another room that was available then and I have chosen it as it was on the backside and quieter. The property is very clean and welcoming. Very comfortable bed. The cereals and milk were provided free and was a great to get your day started. When leaving, he happily provided a place to store my luggage and also to do some work. I would definitely come again!

Very clean and comfortable B&B ! Guido is a great host who can prepare delicious breakfast, give some useful tips for sightseeing and organize a taxi to the airport. We booked a triple room which was quite comfortable for three adults without a lot of luggage. In your room you'll also find a kettle and a variety of coffee, tea, biscuits, and sweets. It's definitely a place to recommend !

Featuring free bikes and views of garden, Modern, well located en-suite rooms with parking and all facilities is a recently renovated guest house located in Cambridge, 3.6 km from University of Cambridge. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves American cuisine.

The property provided us with free bicycles, which helped us save money and time. The kitchen was fully equipped, with complimentary coffee and a variety of spices. There were also plenty of dishes and cutlery. The washing machine with a dryer made things easier for us. Cleaners came regularly two times a week to keep everything clean. We benefited from free cleaning for our room on multiple occasions. The distance from Addenbrooke's and city center was really convenient for us, and local shops were close by. The landlord was a genuinely kind and supportive person who helped us through so many things. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it.

    The host is very polite and friendly, the rooms are cosy, comfortable, and clean. The rooms are quiet and there is a garden with birds. The breakfast was convenient, quality okay for the price. The apartment is easy to reach from the city center. It is nice to walk cross the nearby river and the park to St. Johns Colledge. I highly recommend the Carlton Lodge.

    Clear instructions in checking in and out. Very responsive host! The property has a great living room size. It was next to the train station but not noisy at all. Quiet neighbourhood and the area is easily accessible to Cambridge City Centre. Great bargain for short stay!

    The guest house had a cute typical bed and breakfast vibe, old fashioned but in a charming and authentic way. Walking distance to the city center, very clean and well equipped with tea essentials, plenty of towels. The beds were big and cosy and the owner was very friendly.

    Pier was very accommodating and a great host. The apartment has all basic necessities: complete kitchen, laundry, TV, etc. The place is 2 floors with the bedroom in a higher floor so expect some stairs. Location is in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the city center, and there was available parking space.

    Great location for the train station and walking distance into city center. Locker facility was great idea as we could leave our case after checkout until our train home. Would have been perfect apart from the inconsiderate guests above our room. Contacted Claire who could not have dealt with the situation any better. We were given a free upgrade to the best room(6) and on return for the second night had complimentary drinks left in the fridge for us. A great host, great communication and would definitely come back.
