Fabulous Cambridge Hotel

Truly a fabulous hotel in Cambridge a short walk from the train station. I had the most comfortable sleep I've had in a very long time. My room was truly fabulous along with the bed. A must for every time I stay in Cambridge. The breakfast service came with Porridge and as is top of my list a pot of real (super) coffee on request. I will be back!
