Very lovely hotel, staff very approachable and helpful, perfect location to explore Cambridge. The downside was the food which was disappointing, not well cooked, and for what you got expensive. Have enjoyed much better fare at far less prestigious hotels where there was a really effort to present fresh, vibrant and tasteful meals cooked with care, flare and overall consideration.

Food not up to expectations
Food in the bar was not up to expectations. Not even up to good pub food standards. I had salad niscoise and the tuna was full of sinew and barely edible . Not the best meal we have had
