The Inspiration for Genius
Open-plan and open-minded, Cambridge is best known for university colleges dating to the 13th century. King’s College is the most popular, and its chapel choir is internationally famous. Although accessed from cobbled King’s Parade, it is best viewed from a punt on The Backs, the part of the River Cam behind.
Cambridge punting is an institution and gives great views of Queen’s College Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs at St John’s College. Upstream is Jesus Green, site of an outdoor pool and a fantastic beer festival. Next to this is Midsummer Common, a park home to the annual Strawberry Fair (and the occasional cow). Opposite are the college boathouses - get up early to see the rowers in action!
Cows also roam the Mill Pond meadow, where the river leads south to Grantchester, a quaint village with a lovely cafe. Places to eat in Cambridge include riverside restaurants and typical English pubs like The Eagle, drinking hole of DNA founders Watson & Crick.
Cambridge shopping options include a daily market (in Market Square), the Grafton Centre and the exclusive Grand Arcade, the latest addition. The Scott Polar Museum and free Fitzwilliam Museum are 2 of many fantastic Cambridge museums.
Stansted Airport is connected by train to the city’s accommodation choices on Booking.com.

We did punting on the Cam and it was very worthwhile with good views and a knowledgeable young punter. We also did the hop on off bus and the best stop was the American WWII cemetery and memorial. It was beautifully maintained and we had a great tour guide and spent 3 hours there. We highly recommend it. We also went to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and saw a number of WWII vintage planes as well as more modern. Also worth the visit but about 10 miles north of Cambridge and some challenges to get there on a city bus.
The Eagle Bar in town was also nice with signatures of pilots from WWII from the RAF and Am 8th. Also photos of the Memphis Bell crew both the original and the movie crew. There was also a plaque where Crick and Watson announced the discovery of DNA in 1953 and photos.

Just to walk around the city was wonderful.
Just to walk around the city was wonderful. Wish we had time to do some kind of tour of a college or two! The outside of these buildings are wonderful but it’s the inner courtyards I’d love to see.
All you need is here in Cambridge... supermarkets, shops, post office etc. Bikes seem to be the logical choice to get around the city if not walking. Could have spent another day here to do a walking tour.

Meeting up with relatives from across the world is always fun, but we particularly enjoyed punting along The Cam and eating at Le Bill’s restaurant for a very tasty lunch. We used The Tenpin facilities which was nicer than our local Tenpin.

We went for a specific reason and to see relatives.
We went for a specific reason and to see relatives. Cambridge is a lovely city but is now sadly overrun by tourists making it very difficult and uncomfortable. It is also ridiculously expensive. Each college charges a £10 entrance fee- so we visited none of them. It is difficult to walk about due to the number of visitors. We are unlikely to visit the city itself again.

Plenty to see in the wider area as well as the centre. We enjoyed the walking tour of the city, by students, where you pay what you think it was worth at the end. Google free walking tour of whichever city you decide to visit for meeting point and times.Park and ride is good value.

Enjoyed visiting Fitzwilliam College - excellent Sampler...
Enjoyed visiting Fitzwilliam College - excellent Sampler exhibition and lovely food in cafe. Also enjoyed visiting Kettle Yard which had an Anthony Gormley exhibition and a very interesting house. It also had a cafe which I bought a baguette from. Would have used Park and Ride but found the website difficult to work out which places of interest the buses stopped at. Would visit Cambridge again.
“Bed very comfortable and location convenient for city centre and next door gastropub. Citisightseeing also very close. Fan available on request as it was very hot. Shower fixed to wall rather than able to be handheld and a bit cramped. Cheap compared to other hotels but perhaps worth shelling out a bit more for somewhere else.”
“An awesome hotel! It is so lucky to select this property in Cambridge for 2 days. The best design and high level furniture, tidy-room everywhere，especially the kind and warm-hearted owner and his nice colleague, all of which give me the best memory during my journey.”
“Location is the big winner for this hotel. Cambridge Leisure Park is a 2 minute walk away with Cambridge City Centre only a five min drive or bus ride away.
Room was pleasant enough, although incredibly warm with the current weather we are having. Comfy bed with a very cosy ensuite shower room/toilet.
Breakfast was a buffet affair and very pleasant too.
”
“Absolutely wonderful stay at the A&B Guest House in Cambridge. The staff couldn’t be more welcoming and they are so kind throughout your trip.
I’m travelling a lot recently and the bed was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long while!
I also loved the breakfast and the whole atmosphere of the hotel is lovely.
I would absolutely stay here again when I come back! ”
“Excellent, efficient friendly service, lovely room and hotel, wonderful high quality breakfast. Quiet room, no disturbances and spotlessly clear. 5 min walk to main shops. Highly reccomend The Gonville and all its staff, couldn't fault anything at all.
Husband's birthday and we were given complementary Prosecco in our room and a tour of Cambridge city centre in the hotel Bentley - Elliot the Concierge was great.
Wonderful relaxing short break. ”
“We stayed at the Royal Cambridge on two nights at either end of a trip touring the area. Both times we enjoyed our stay, with the prime attraction being the location of the hotel.”
“The room was large and the bed was comfy. Our dog loved the gardens surrounding the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and everyone was kind to our dog.”
“An excellent room with an enormous bed and with 2 baths in the room so we had a lovely bath while enjoying the complimentary Nespresso. The staff are very friendly, too.”
“The room I stayed in was in an old barn, all renovated and very beautiful. The decor is very beautiful, the farm environment is charming and the staff gentle. The breakfast was exellent; you must pay to try it.”
“Fantastic full English breakfast buffet at the Hall included in the stay. Tremendous service and friendly accommodating staff with excellent knowledge of the hall's history.”
“Great location - between the centre and the train station and only 5 minutes walk from the botanic garden. Lovely breakfast. Helpful staff. Would stay again.”
“Great property... charming, unique, quirky... historical facility with a great story...lot of details... it is not brand new but it adds to its charm... ideal for romantic weekend in Cambridge...”
