Is it the most exciting location in the world? No. Cambourne is quiet. There’s a pub nearby (the Hardwicke Arms), which is lovely. But don’t expect a nightclub next door.
The soundproofing is solid, but you might hear a door slam. It’s a hotel, not a library. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, but I slept like a log.
One thing: the pillows are a bit firm. If you like flat, floppy pillows, you’ll be sad. But if you like neck support? You just hit the jackpot.
The Final Word
So, would I stay here again? Absolutely. In a heartbeat. Next time I’m in Cambridge for work (or escaping London for a weekend), this is my go-to.
It’s the goldilocks of hotels: not too fancy, not too shabby, just right. You get a clean room, breakfast, free parking, and a solid night’s sleep. What more do you need?
Go book it. Tell them the coffee-drinking pancake enthusiast sent you. They’ll have no idea what you’re talking about, but you’ll feel smug knowing you found a gem.
Cheers to hassle-free travel. 🥂
