All the hotel staff were excellent and so friendly.
Room was very good and also the bathroom.
Breakfast spread was very good though the hot breakfast options could have been warmer, with no warm plates to put your hot food onto.
All in all very good, we would definitely stay again.

A really lovely hotel with super friendly, helpful staff and good location near the train station. Despite being close to the station there was no noise disruption and we all slept soundly in the extremely comfortable beds.
The breakfast was tasty and there was a varied selection.
The walk into Cambridge was about 20 minutes on mostly a straight road.
Only downside was there being no carpark but the station carpark was convenient (£17.50 per day).
If visiting Cambridge again we would definitely stay again.
