History

Westminster College buildings were built in 1899 by the Presbyterian Church of England, to replace their existing one in London. The move to Cambridge was largely at the urging of two remarkable twin sisters, Margaret and Agnes Smith, whose portraits now hang in the main dining hall. The college is a Grade II listed building. Almost all the original work survives, with modern facilities sympathetically introduced.

The College is today a Theological College affiliated with Cambridge University with some 50 students; most in training for ministry in the Church.

I was very happy with the stay. Beautiful building just a very short walk from the middle of Cambridge with parking right outside. I would stay here again and would recommend to others who need to be in that area. Great water pressure on the shower, not always the case in older buildings. Only negative was that the heating in the room was a rather too much and it wasn’t apparent in the middle of the night how to turn it down. Possibly also, easier to access electrical socket by the desk.

Our second time at Westminster College. Beautiful, peaceful building with clean, comfortable ensuite rooms, parking and a short, easy walk to the city centre. Hot/cold buffet breakfast with gluten free options (cereal, bread & sausages) for those who need them. My only comment would be the hot food servery would benefit from covers to keep the heat in foods like scrambled eggs, beans etc. Our #1 place to stay in Cambs and a great alternative to a hotel. we look forward to returning!

Room was spacious and the little kitchen area was a very useful feature. I would have preferred a king sized bed rather than the standard double sized bed. Parking good value. The college is in an excellent location. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Tasty breakfast in traditional college dining room, which is an experience all in itself.
