Fairly new hotel, ideally located for travelling into Cambridge (local bus within 5 min walk), free parking and great buffet breakfast.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that there is something wrong with the plumbing! We arrived at our room, and it looked like the toilet had already been used. We alerted Reception, who apologised and offered us a free drink, but this happened every time we left the room and came back. We can only assume there are rusty pipes or (hopefully not) some backflow issues from another toilet.
