Just minutes from Cambridgeshire’s scenic countryside, Leverton Guest House is a 10-minute drive from Anglesey Abbey. The Cambridge Park and Ride site is also close by.

Very warm welcome from Wendy (10/10). Charming stop on our way to other parts of the country. Buses to the historical places within short walking distance. Meeting other Wendy's guests was much appreciated while enjoying an excellent breakfast cooked by Wendy who really cares of her guests. Wendy's place is comfortable and neat. Really recommend the place. Sandrine & Michel

Just 500 metres from the River Cam, Worth House is 15 minutes’ walk from Cambridge centre. The guesthouse has free WiFi, award-winning cooked breakfasts and free parking.

Set in a Victorian villa, the individual bedrooms at Worth Guest House each have a large private bathroom and 26-inch flat-screen TV. Rooms also feature tea/coffee facilities with fresh milk and cookies.

Absolutely Perfect Stay! The Worth House is ideally located - just a short stroll from the river and city center, yet far enough to offer peaceful, traffic-free evenings. It's one of those rare finds that you wish could be replicated everywhere you travel, but its unique charm is simply irreplaceable in a chain setting. Our room was more than spacious; it was beautifully appointed with a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. Every detail, including the fully-equipped amenities, added to our comfort. The thoughtful touches, like our own coffee maker complete with a selection of Costa coffee capsules and daily-replenished cookies, truly made a difference. Maria and Guido were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond in every aspect. From the award-winning breakfast (deservedly so!) to their kindness in accommodating a late check-out and providing local tips, they were phenomenal. They even shared their recipe for an enviable English breakfast and made every conversation a delightful experience. Can't wait to return!

The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the common areas spacious. We were visiting family so did not really use them much but would be good if you were staying on business etc. Mr Aminian, the manager, couldn't have been more helpful.

    Very easy to communicate with the host who got back to me quickly with any questions. Nice sized flat - 5 of us stayed there comfortably. Clean and well presented. Good kitchen facilities. Nice communal spaces and felt very homely. Even though flat is a way from the city centre, it was easy to reach by bus. Quiet street.

    The hostess was very friendly and helpfull. We could enter our rooms early and it was no problem to leave our bicycles in the garden. Breakfast was lovely with fresh fruit, the room was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Neighbourghood is quiet and parking the car was possible on the premises. In short: we definitely recommand staying at Leverton House!

    Very nice guesthouse. Zarahs welcome was so friendly we felt at home immediately. Quiet neighborhood, parking in front of the house, great communication before check in. We (sadly) only stayed one night, but if you stay longer they is even a fridge in the room to keep some food or drinks refrigerated. Close to a main street were you can find restaurants and cafés, close to the train station and only a 20-30 min. walk to Cambridge city center. Highly recommended.

    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.

    The guest house is very clean and they have taken extra precautions to prevent the spread of covid. It is always nice and warm. The welcome and the staff are very friendly. Great location, within walking distance to the city center and great value for money for the location.
