The Cambridge Belfry, Cambourne

Advantages: walking distance from office
Disadvantages: miles from anywhere (like Cambridge)

...The Cambridge Belfry used to be owned by Marston but now it is Q and is there any difference? Well not much but some things were worse. Not quite in the league of fawlty towers but try having a hot shower! Well you can but only in the leisure area not in the bedroom. I reported the shower as running cold only when I went out in the morning. When I came back I tried the shower, leaving it running for 7 minutes as advised to do in the hotel information sheet. Sill stone cold. I telephoned reception as was informed I was not leaving it running long enough and that it had been signed off by the maintenance crew. I said I would leave it for fifteen minutes and get back to her. While it was running I tried to log into my lap top. This had worked perfectly the previous evening and that morning so I persevered.

Disadvantages: really shoddy if you don't know where to go

...I spent three years in Cambridge as an undergraduate, and this is a guide of Cambridge about where to go! (but sorry, I can't give you information about where to stay because I just stayed in college...) These are the things that I really enjoyed! 1. The colleges (well duh!) but not every single college, of course. Kings College Chapel (admission fee needed) is really worth going because that ceiling is very impressive. St John (also needs to pay) is less impressive, but if you want to see another big college, then go for it. You will see the famous Bridge of Sighs, which is similar to that in Venice. Smaller colleges will have better courts, and Christ's College has a gorgeous first court with beautiful purple flowers in bloom from April to July, around the entrance to the Master's Lodge. Christ's College's fellows garden... Read review
