Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t get over how comfy the bed was, definitely need to buy one of these mattresses for home!"

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good

"Really nice and good value for overnight stay, however no amenities such as proper bar or restaurant / breakfast. You can buy limited alcohol from reception and there are vending machines for coffee and snacks / confectionery. You have to drive to local pub / restaurant for cooked meal / breakfast. I would use again when stopping overnight but not for longer stays."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Stay had a couples massage which was really nice Parking was great but should make sure you check car in would have been nice if they did that when booking hotel. Shame a couple of things werent available on menu but otherwise all good Will come back agin if in the area"

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"
