Great location if you're wanting to be in the heart of Cambridge. I will say the location is right near a pub so if you're looking for peace and quiet, the weekend is not the time to go. But if you don't mind a bit of noise, the room 14 we stayed in was lovely, had a great kitchen and bathroom - would be good for duo or couple looking for a fun weekend in Cambridge.

Cosy private cabin for 2 in town

pamRating, 5 stars2 days ago

A gem of a place in a quiet and well kept location. Externally and internally, 'The Cabin' offered a calm and tranquil place to stay and is quirky but homely. We were very comfortable here, the bed is super comfy with lovely white bedding. The lounge area is a pleasue to be in as is the well equipped kitchen. Complimentary tea, coffee sugar and biscoff biscuits, some cereals, butter, bread, milk, greek yogurt, and Paul's very own award winning Seville Orange Marmalade is a beautiful touch. There is even whisky and gin left out for guests to drink if so desired. The bathroom is spacious with a powerful shower, towels, heated radiator and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and some sanitary items. The entire cabin is very clean, trust me, I have ocd! The cabin also offers books to read and jigsaws to do. We cannot fault this place and will certainly be booking again if it's available on our return trips to Bury St. Edmunds. Katie and Paul have excelled as hosts.
