Basic, clean, fit-for-purpose and cost effective if you're visiting or settling in your child at Cambridge. Porters are super helpful, location next to Mill Road very convenient. ~15-20 min walk to city center. Best of all, the large single window opens into the most gorgeous and serene courtyard. I visited in late Sep, weather was lovely, and you get fat squirrels running around the courtyard and a few came right up to windowsill. Overall, enjoyed stay and would visit again.

Lovely stay, everyone so helpful and friendly. Of which I was nervous as a student studying and only staying for residential every 3 months, but was made to feel like I was part of the full time students staying! Incredibly easy to book online and seamless checking in and out process. I also drove and parked in the grounds, plenty of spaces and only £10 a day and night! Thank you for having me, I really hope to return for my next residential!

Nice clean room with all facilities needed, more comfortable than I had expected! Very helpful service from the Porter's Lodge. There was a kitchen available, although it would have been really nice if there could have been a kettle in the room.
