Selwyn College offers a warm welcome and recently refurbished single ensuite accommodation in Cripps Court. Located on Grange Road within easy access of the M11, the Sidgwick site and a short walk into town. The Porters' Lodge and Dining Hall are in the Old Court on the opposite side of Grange Road.

The College offers single ensuite rooms with a shower. Also provided is bedding (two pillows and duvet), bath towel, complimentary soap and shampoo/shower gel, plus tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Please note: The College has confirmed that there will be the construction of a new library and auditorium in Ann’s Court at the northern end of the college starting in Spring 2019 and due for completion late 2020, therefore this will be taking place during bookings in Ann’s Court bedrooms with Selwyn College. I hope you appreciate that no time is a good time for this kind of construction, however, any noisy work will not be permitted before 9am or after 5pm and the builders will work to be as discreet as possible during their time here with Selwyn College .

Stayed at Selwyn College for two nights while accompanying my daughter on interview at another college. My stay was comfortable and good value for Cambridge. Excellent breakfast in hall. Selwyn is approx 15 mins walk from the town centre, and a 10 min bus ride from the railway station. Howeve...

I was in I12, from memory, though I can't swear to it. If I had a small criticism of the room, it would be that the showerhead was fixed. Otherwise, I have no complaints. And the coffee machine was broken on the Sunday morning -- that was a considerable disappointment!

Clean Room. En suite. Great wifi I had youtube on without any lag. Full hot break fast in the hall. Delicious sausages. All staff from the porter to the dining room very friendly x

Wonderful garden. Clean and quite rooms. Nice staff. Patient porters. I recommend this college as one of the best ones in Cambridge. I am looking to coming back next year.

I love staying at Selwyn. The one slight drawback is that breakfast only starts at 8am. I have to forgo it as I always need to be up and out by then for 8:30am meetings.

On arrival, please go to the Porters' Lodge with your booking confirmation where you will be given the key and directions to your room, breakfast voucher and a copy of Selwyn College Visitors Information with a College map.

Despite the term “Porters”, it is not part of a College Porter’s duties to handle luggage. You must carry your own luggage to your room.

Please vacate your room and return the keys to the Porters' Lodge on the day of departure by 9.30am to enable the rooms to be serviced for incoming guests.

Directions:

By Car: The easiest way to approach the College by road from the north, south or east is from Junction 12 of the M11. Take the A603 (Barton Road) towards Cambridge. Pass Wolfson College on the left. About 1.5 miles from the M11 you will reach the traffic lights of a pedestrian crossing. Turn left into Grange Road directly after this pedestrian crossing opposite the Hat and Feathers public house. Continue down Grange Road and go straight over the T junction with Sidgwick Avenue and Selwyn College is immediately on the right hand side. Parking is not permitted on the Fellows' car park in front of the Porters' Lodge.

Unfortunately, Selwyn College does not offer on-site parking. Free car parking is available on some of the roads surrounding the College.

By Train: Taxi are available for hire from outside Cambridge railway station and the fare should cost under £10 from the station to the College. Regular buses run from the railway station to the city centre.

By Bus: Take a Citi 4 or Uni 4 bus from Emmanuel Street stop 4 destined for "Madingley" or "Cambourne" to reach West Road and Grange Road with stops close to the College.

By Air: You can travel to Cambridge by rail, coach or taxi. Stansted is the closest major airport about 40 minutes away.
