A brilliant way to be in the centre of Cambridge, with a lovely garden and cafe just outside. The porters were just how you expect porters to be, in the best, slightly Jeevesian, sense: polite, helpful, friendly even, resourceful, unflappable. They were great with our children. While not the last word in luxury, that's not what we expected college accommodation to be. It was still very spacious and comfortable, and as luck had it, our triple room opened onto a terrace looking over the gardens.

Excellent location, great value, very helpful and polite staff, and a lovely garden! The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The only downside is that the rooms are not very private. I love the big windows, but my room on the ground floor felt a bit exposed. If you need privacy you have to close the whole curtain, cutting out all the natural light, which feels criminal in such lovely surroundings!

The porters was so helpful and kind. We felt welcome from when we arrived to we left and they went out of their way to be helpful. The room was nice and clean. The bed was a bit small, but fine. We will recommend Harvey court.

My two children and I had a great weekend in Cambridge. The accommodation was perfect for our needs and it was lovely to stay somewhere special - definitely more interesting than a featureless chain hotel.

Anon

A very friendly greeting, a clean and comfortable room, plenty of sockets for power (always important these days) and very handy for the Sidgwick site. Thanks you, I will come again!

Great experience all round, just what I needed for a research trip to the University library. Breakfast excellent, check in and out smooth, room just as described- what's not to like?

Anon

Modern bedrooms in a lovely court and garden. Walking distance to the Universities and center. We loved the experience.

Very unforgettable experience and definitely will come back to try other colleges’ accommodations in the future.

Everything was great, staff very kind, the room spacious and bright, except for the poor internet connection.
