    A short guide to Cambridge

    Floating in the misty fens, this beautiful university city attracts hordes of visitors to its gothic spires, shady cloisters and wide open parks. In the summer, sun seekers punt along the Cam or picnic under the willows that line its banks. Strawberry Fair free music festival takes place early in June and the city's famous folk festival is in July. The view from Castle Hill is worth the climb.

    This inn was in a nice location reasonably close to the town and very close to the river and a park. It felt very safe and was in a very pretty space. There are also some shops nearby including a somewhat overpriced co-op and a boots, and we would often have breakfast at a really nice cafe we found there. The inn was very nice and welcoming. The room […] was quite small but it was comfortable and the TV had freeview! The bathroom is shared and so could sometimes be a bit messy and you could end up waiting for ages if someone is particuarly enjoying their shower, but there isn't anything the owners could really do about that! Live music is frequent at the inn. In our case this was really good as we enjoyed the variety and liked seeing the band. From our room the music could be heard really quite clearly - again, this was okay for us as we enjoyed the music but if you hate noise this might be a problem for you! The inn served food. We didn't actually try any of it but there seemed to be a good variety. They don't do breakfasts but there is a nice little cafe nearby which does great full english breakfasts, and the pub across the road does them too. Read more

    Cuando llegamos no habia nadie para atendernos. Ni podiamos entrar. La habitacion no estaba mal y era acogedora pero formaba parte de un bar con musica en directo con lo que la habitacion estaba a dos alturas de los musicos, supongo que entre semana sera mas tranquilo pero nosotros fuimos en sabado y horroroso. El baño era compartido pero como habia […] solo tres habitaciones no hubo problema ademas estaban muy limpios y bien. Estaba ubicado un poco lejos del centro pero el paseito no estaba mal y de precio bien Read more

    ホテルは混乱しやすいところに位置していて、 通りかかった警察の方に聞いても、場所がよくわからなかった。 パブの後ろに部屋があって、 とても簡単な設備で、ちょっとがっかりした雰囲気でした。

    Ce n'est pas du tout un 3 étoiles !!! C'est une petite auberge mal insonorisée comptant 3 chambres avec salle de bain partagée sans même gel douche ni shampooing se trouvant au-dessus du bar du quartier. A éviter sauf si vraiment très bon marché juste pour passer la nuit. Vraiment déçu des informations données sur le site.
