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

Tory

My husband and I choose B&Bs over hotels for the personal touches that put us at home in a new place. Christine is a master of those special touches! From the delicious homemade ginger biscuits and tea in our room to the detailed directions of how to walk into town, from my husband's full English breakfast to my homemade Mueslix and fresh fruit, each detail was perfectly executed. When we mentioned that we might be interested in punting, for example, Christine made a point of calling a specific company she knew through a friend and getting all the details for us. This is what a B&B should be!


George

At the end of a long day's travel it was very pleasant to find a friendly thoughtful welcome into a delightful house. Room fitout was attractive. Bathroom capacious and spacious tub but unfortunately not a lot of time in our itinerary for a long wallow. Convenient walking distance into Cambridge. Handy pub nearby in the evening for pub pizza and ales. Will stay there again when next in Cambridge.


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!
