We stayed in a room above the bar which was a good size and did not have any problems with the live music. Full English breakfast was very good and generous. free off road parking which is a plus and is easy walking distance to the city centre Can't think of any

Very spacious room. Right next to large grocery store. Walking distance from the station and 15-20 minutes walk from the town center. Its part of a pub but has a separate entrance so you don't get disturbed and never have to walk through the pub. Very good value for money considering its in Cambridge.

An unpretentious pub with plenty of parking and good pub food. A powerful shower and good sized room with comfortable bed. Nowhere in the shower to put soap.

It was a very reasonable rate considering it was so close to the centre of Cambridge. The room itself and the bathroom were dirty. The carpet and rug were stained and had hairs on it when we arrived. Also the shower cubicle had hairs. The lampshade and fan were thick with dust as was the wall heater.

It is a great English pub with rooms for rent, a lot of atmosphere and friendly staff. Good English cooking, very nice rooms, comfortable beds, and double glazing in the windows! There was nothing I did not like.

Staff very helpful and friendly - food is good and plentiful - beer is very drinkable ! Beds are great - nice and firm - no saggy matresses here Room a little bit "frayed" round the edges.......but - when all is said and done, the blame has to go to past guests who have not respected the place as they should have done !

Room was comfortable and warm (very cold weather). Close to railway station and not far from city centre and botanic gardens. Despite busy road outside, the room was quiet. Excellent cooked breakfast. Staff all friendly & helpful. Minor point but the decor, especially in bathroom, is a bit tired. Build-up of ?soap under grip rails on bath looked a bit unpleasant.

Easy to find, good parking. Room was perfectly acceptable, very warm, large clean bed, cupboard with hangers and a spare duvet, iron and hair dryer. Good lighting, bathroom also had a really good, hot shower and were given two nice towels each. Atmosphere of pub was very nice and comfortable, food also good. Because the double bed was two singles pushed together (they didn't 'roll' apart mind, which I've experienced before) the duvet was a bit small for two people, meaning my partner and I spent the night sleepily battling for the sheet. I'd say put the spare on when you arrive, to save issue. It would be nice if they could provide yogurt and cereal at breakfast as well as cooked food. But the cooked food was lovely all the same.
