  • Jeanette

    Excellent facilities. Excellent location - easy walk into Cambridge across the green or along the river. Excellent communication with a very caring owner who wanted us to have a good time which we did.

  • Ruth

    Ten of us enjoyed a family get together - the house was comfortable, well equipped, warm and stylish. We would thoroughly recommend.

  • Penelope

    The facilities exactly matched what we needed, and Heather was so helpful and friendly! We had gathered as an extended family for my daughter's wedding at Magdalene College, and it made a busy weekend feel much more luxurious. The breakfast rolls in the cafe opposite were amazing, too!
