Absolutely fabulous experience- Colin the porter and Bethany were superstars. The room were clean and well appointed amongst beautiful College grounds. So conveniently placed to explore Cambridge-can’t think of anywhere better to stay. The only complaint is that we didn’t find Oliver Cromwell’s...

For some reason, guests had breakfast at Jesus College around the corner. It was very, very good. One of the best college breakfasts that I have had. The scrambled egg on toasted beigel couldn't have been better cooked. It was moist and still a little bit runny. Nice oatmeal porridge too.

The porter was very friendly and helpful and checking in went very smoothly. The room was very nice and clean. I had an ensuite, which was amazing. Small fridge, kettle and tea/coffee was available and restocked. Beautiful college and very close to everything. Would absolutely return!

The location is superb and the facilities are adequate, although even with the windows closed, there was traffic noise which was a little disappointing. The porters were extremely helpful, friendly and jolly which added to the experience. Ideal for a short stay.

A quiet old college that seems a monastery. A garden that I appreciated. Nice porters.
