A Calm Getaway

well kept spadecent workoutdelicious breakfast

The hotel offered a range of amenities, including a well kept spa area. I also. It was adequately equipped for a decent workout. The breakfast was delicious, with my eggs cooked perfectly to order.

Service for drinks was a bit slow. I was asked multiple times for the same order. I feel this detracted slightly from the overall experience.

Rooms

The room was lovely. They provided a fan that proved useful because it was very warm. The room had all of the essential amenities I needed for a short stay and was clean.

Location

Cycle path 51 is conveniently located at the bottom of the driveway. It takes cyclists off road directly into Cambridge city centre. This allowed for easy access to explore nearby attractions and provided a scenic route.
