Great location, on the more expensive end.
Pros:

Great location and lovely food

Cons:

The room wasn’t that big, despite being one of the more expensive options and when you add in parking and breakfast it was an expensive stay.

Lovely weekend in Cambridge
Pros:

The location is fantastic, the restaurant and seating on the river is beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved watching the cows go by the river..

Cons:

We had a river view room which meant we could hear music at the restaurant all day and at night, not a huge deal but just a heads up if you choose a river view room in the summer.

Nice location but overall experience a bit lacking
Pros:

Nice location on the river. Room was comfortable with a proper river view as advertised.

Cons:

Continental breakfast selection was quite limited. Condiments eg sauces and honey had to be requested and the fruit selection was mostly tinned.
We had to go up and buy our own drinks from the outside bar, table service wasn’t offered and yet service charges were added.
There was a large group of extremely rowdy women in the outside garden who were jumping in the river and screaming whilst blatantly eating snacks they had brought in in shopping bags and yet no members of staff attempted to bring the situation under control which just made the whole riverside experience feel quite tacky.
