Alexia 8/10

Pros: Comfortable bed, friendly staff and a short walk over the river into central Cambridge. Dog friendly 🐶

Cons: The decor could do with a refresh, no kettle in the room and a very small bathroom. No parking.

Friendly place, but room was too warm.

Pros: Very spacious room, excellent location, very helpful staff.

Cons: The room was very hot, which made sleeping uncomfortable. The shower could do with a hancle for those like me with poor mobility.

Lovely vintage rooms, great location for Stockbridge, parking onsite

Pros: Quaint old rooms with vintage furniture, beams and creaking floorboards

Lovely place, would recommend

Pros: Lovely place, staff were all pleasant. Great atmosphere in the pub. Rooms were comfy and had everything you would want. Easy to find and a nice leisurely walk into Cambridge. Handy to have a coop opposite too for grabbing a few snacks for the room.

Cons: Room was really warm when we arrived but no issue really as we just cracked the window. There was a fan too so if we’d needed to then we could have used it but the window did the trick 👍🏻

Amazing price, amazing beds, amazing food & and amazing staff

Pros: Excellent location bright next to river and park if you have a dog. Parking right in front of pub. Sainsburys 1 min across the road. The food is amazing even though there are restaurants nearby I woukd suggest staying in the pub for dinner, excellent eggs royale fir breakfast, I imagine the cooked would be just as tasty. The bedroom was quiet no noise from pub, no noise from street or other rooms. TV and Nespresso machine thst makes Coffee and hot water fir tea. Nice touch newspaper on bed as you arrive. Free wifi and good TV channel choices. The staff were all friendly, this is not said as a cliche for the review, they were really helpful and friendly. Close walk to all campuses and city centre, without the cost of city prices.
