Breakfast in the great hall, access to the grounds and evensong were a complete delight - a taste of life at Kings College. The accommodation itself represents good value for the cost. A highly recommended experience. Thank you.

We both enjoyed staying in the heart of the town and would certainly use the service again. We would also recommend the site to friends and family staying in Cambridge.

A great find right in the centre of Cambridge - the only potential issue is parking or the cost of parking nearby
