The rooms in the inn are fitted with a coffee machine. Rooms are fitted with a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer. At Crown & Punchbowl, all rooms come with air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.

The village location was beautiful, a small village with several restored thatched roof cottages. The village is small and remote from shops or anything commercial, however the walk along the Cam river is beautiful. The refurbishment of the property has been done to retain the character of its age. The food is not just pub food, home made cheese, sauces, pies and everything! The halloumi chips with Chile sauce alone are worth going back for! great staff with a great passion for what they do.

Great place - the highlight is the very kind and friendly owner who accommodated all my requests. Clean room and comfy bed. Good value for money if you're going for short-term stays. Near a supermarket, which is quite convenient. I'd happily recommend this for short-term stays in Cambridge.

At the inn, every room is equipped with a desk and a TV.

Cambridge is 5 km from MJPatTheShepherds, while Bury Saint Edmunds is 45 km away. Newmarket Racecourses is 17.7 km away from the property. The nearest airport is Cambridge Airport, 1.7 km from the inn.

Although we had a change of plans and made separate bookings for consecutive days of stay, the host had been very helpful in arranging the rooms. The rooms appeared recently renovated and are tidy and cosy (but perhaps an extra chair can add to the convenience?). Bathroom facilities are good. I could not remember whether WIFI is free, however, there is free Netflix and internet in the entertainment bundle. Parking is just outside the rooms, but if the vehicle is large it will take some skills to manoeuvre. Breakfast: English breakfast with orange juice, chocolate pastry, and coffee/tea. We mostly just spent the nights there and did not hang around long enough to explore the rest of the compound.

The Orlando is located in Cambridge, 2.2 km from University of Cambridge, 24 km from Audley End House, and 45 km from The Apex. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features family rooms.

I loved how clean and confy the rooms were. It is two minutes away from the railway station and you can request a locker to keep your bags during the day before you depart. I really liked how everything opens with codes which they send prior to your arrival (check the emails!), so there is no physical keys or any necesary contact with anyone to get in or out of the place. In addition, there are a few coffee pods, teas and milk in the room which is very nice to have first thing in the morning ;) If i ever go back to Cambridge, I'd probably stay here again :)

    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.
