Two thumbs up for the Earl.
I often visit Cambridge on business from abroad, and have a limited budget, which often leads to me staying in allegedly quaint bed and breakfasts that inevitably have unpleasant surprises such as shared toilets. This was my first time staying at The Earl Derby, and I can say that for the price, this pleasant tavern by the train station is fantastic. The staff are great, if you are hungry you can pop down to the pub and be treated to interesting Portuguese-inspired foods from Madeira. The place is quiet and has large rooms with nice bathrooms. Definitely a gem.

Very welcoming
We loved this place! The staff was amazingly friendly. Beds were comfortable, the food was amazing, and you just had the feel of being welcomed. They even had a beer garden and bbq the night we were there. Would definitely recommend! Loved it!

Wouldn't go back
The unfriendly woman first told me that they didn't have our reservation for two rooms. Then when I provided proof, another woman stepped in and helped us find our rooms. Unfortunately the room we were in was on the street and very loud. You had to keep the shades down in the bathroom or offer a free show to buses going by! The breakfast turned out to be not included...but that wasn't obvious from the paperwork and hotel signage. It was all very disorganized and not very friendly.
