We were quite happy with our stay at the Acorn Guest House; our room was the groundfloor of the annexe in the back car park which did at first give me a few worries but it was clean and tidy and had a good sized bed (had a single in there too so it did feel a little busy); considering... More

Staff were friendly enough and the breakfast was fine. Very small room in the eaves of an annexe to the main house - tall people would have trouble standing up! Lovely walk into Cambridge along the river. Fine for the price. More

I really enjoyed our stay in Cambridge, staff were polite and friendly and breakfast good. The hotel is nicely placed to walk into Cambridge along the river, through Jesus Green. Parking was tight, but there was free parking behind the hotel anyway. Our room though clean, was extremely small - built into the eaves. I was unable to stand on... More

Stayed in the front lower floor bedroom with the bay, having a double bed and two bunks, which therefore had adequate space for two people. The room had no bath, but the shower was adequate. Decor slightly outdated, bed reasonably comfortable and slept quite well even though room was beside the front door and the house is set on a... More

On business travel, needed a bed and internet, and to be walking distance to other things in town, this fits the bill. The room was fine, although I had to turn the heat on so it was a bit cold at first. The shower is funky but fine, I think all showers in the UK are funky anyway. Breakfast was... More

I was in Cambridge for a conference and as a graduate student, needed to do it on a budget. I got a 'very small single' room, and was really pleased with the value I got. The first night I was given a large double room in the annex, as my single wasn't ready, but for the rest of the week,... More

We stayed here in October during high season in Cambridge due to graduation time. It's a bit hard to rate this place for price-quality; we paid 80 pounds a night and for that money you can get a lot nicer hotels in other places in the UK, but we couldn't find anything cheaper in Cambridge and there were not many...

Stayed here 1 night, I would not want to spend a whole week! Owners are very nice and polite, breakfast is fantastic (choice between cooked, continental, vegetarian)! The place is not 4 star neither is the price! Rooms, furniture, carpet look tired! Good location 15 mins from city center. Great park nearby if you like to run (i think its... More

On the plus side, you have a lovely 20 minute walk along the riverside into Cambridge and there are plenty of nearby places to eat out. It is also clean. However, how this rates as a 4 Star accommodation baffled my wife and myself. The room itself was small, but was large in comparison to the en-suite bathroom, which was... More
