The Experience

Exemplary! Where: in a lovely, comfortable, refurbed Georgian house 20 minutes’ walk from Cambridge centre. How: with warmth, pleasure, intelligence and local knowledge. Bedrooms have good quality mattresses, bedding and towels. Characterful pieces too – antique brass bed, freestanding bath, oriental rugs on polished floors – with flowers and garden views. The breakfasts are delicious, largely organic and local: fresh fruit salad, kedgeree with smoked Norfolk haddock, home baking (three types of bread; gluten free, no problem). If you’d like to swing a cat book the biggest room; borrow vintage bikes and thoroughly enjoy your break.

Reviews

Lena, Freiburg

Charming B&B. The room I stayed in was lovely and cosy. Equipped with everything you need and very clean. The location was perfect with a lovely Café just around the corner and a short and beautiful walk along the Cam to Cambridge. The host was very nice and welcoming and always helpful with great tips where to go. I would love to visit again.


Philip, La Rochelle

Lovely old house with modern comforts, we were short of nothing we needed. Extremely comfortable bed with quality bed linen. Excellent breakfasts. Easy parking and a pleasant walk by the river into Cambridge centre, with a short taxi ride as an alternative. Christine was efficient from beginning to end.


Steve, Petersfield

A lovely place, a warm welcome, very well appointed bedroom and bathroom, with an excellent pub nearby and cafes a short distance. Fifteen or so minute walk to the River Cam, with parks, boathouses etc.


Keith, Kinver, Stourbridge

We stayed for 2 nights in mid-February 2022. Christine welcomed us with tea and scones; gave us helpful advice about walking in to Cambridge and places to eat. On the first evening we walked to The Haymakers, for pizza. Next day, we walked into Cambridge (about 20 mins) for the galleries and the Botanic Garden. The house is clean and interesting, and even though the wind was high, the bed was warm and comfortable. The good en-suite has an interesting shower design. Christine cooked us excellent breakfasts. We parked just along the road, and that was easy to do. We would be happy to stay again.


Alex, Oxford

Christine obviously enjoys what she does, and runs her lovingly cared-for B&B with dedication and a meticulous attention to small detail as well as to the bigger picture. Greeting her guests with old-fashioned courtesy, she leads you upstairs to rooms which are both charming and homely. Country-cottage in style, each of the three bedrooms offers simple but elegant accommodation. Home-made biscuits complete the picture and everything is spotlessly clean. Christine takes great care over her breakfasts and her artisanal scrambled eggs are a treat. The road is quiet and there is parking outside.


Location

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Christine Ulyyan

  • We are located within the heart of the old village of Chesterton, now absorbed into Cambridge but this conservation area still retains the relative tranquility of village life while being a 30 minute stroll or a short bus ride into town.
  • Round the corner there is a friendly local pub called the Haymakers, serving good local beer and excellent pizza (the chef is Italian and he has a proper pizza oven).
  • There is a fabulous cafe 5-10 minutes walk away called Stir. A real boon to our local community and offering a warm welcome and great quality food and drink - the baking is particularly good.
  • We are north-east of Cambridge city centre, so ideally situated to explore lovely Ely and its amazing cathedral, Oliver Cromwells House and Peacocks, one of the best teashops in the county.
  • The Norfolk coast is also accessible from here and makes a nice day trip, likewise parts of Suffolk such as Bury St Edmunds or a day at the races in Newmarket!
