Breakfast was excellent especially for the price. Fruit, yogurt, choice of cereals, cheeses and meats, boiled egg, toast, pastries tea or coffee and orange juice. I found my stay very relaxed. Room and front door key meant I could come and go when I wanted. I stayed five nights. TV in my room. Also a kettle and tea and coffee provided. A chair and wardrobe with hangers too. Location was great. Number 1 bus from the station to about a ten minute walk away or possible to change buses in the town to a number 2 which stopped right outside. I came by train but there was parking available. I chose to stay in a single room without an en-suite (cheaper) and the facilities were close by and only shared by a couple of other people.

I can’t think of anything.

The host is very polite and friendly, the rooms are cosy, comfortable, and clean. The rooms are quiet and there is a garden with birds. The breakfast was convenient, quality okay for the price. The apartment is easy to reach from the city center. It is nice to walk cross the nearby river and the park to St. Johns Colledge. I highly recommend the Carlton Lodge.

Payment could have been easier, my card didn't work with the check machine (I check my bank account before) – so I had to transfer from euro to pound and there were taxes.

The hosts were brilliant as was the location..the room was comfortable. Warm and clean ..breakfast was continental .Cereal. yogurt. Meat .cheese and eggs ..served with tea or coffee.. juice and toast..parking is available at the premises..

Sign on front of premises just states the number of the house (even though it is large) we were looking for a board saying Carlton Lodge..

Breakfast was good and sufficient. The place was very quiet and peaceful. The atmosphere very relaxed, homey and comfortable. Interesting conversations with the host and other guests at breakfast time.

Basically clean and fresh but a little bit run down. A few more hooks to hang clothes and wet towels would have been welcome. The bathroom extremely small but we got used to it after the first shower.

The location is ideal, only a short walk to the city centre but in an area that is relatively quiet and peaceful. The best part was Ciaran's service as host, as well as the lovely breakfast in the morning. He also provided tea and coffee in the room.

The shared bathroom is a bit small, but I was able to have a shower without any issues and there was also a sink in my room for brushing my teeth. The room is fairly simple, but great value for the price.

Pleasure to meet Ciaran and chat to him and his wife. Excellent location, especially for a 10min drive to Addenbrookes Hospital, which is why I was in Cambridge. Off road Parking good right outside. Excellent value compared to ridiculous prices elsewhere. No negatives to report whatsoever. I'll be back as I need surgery! Thanks!

Nothing not to like

The location is fine, not far from the main Cambridge University buildings. A good vibe of a cosy private house. The host was very nice and chatted with all of the visitors during the breakfast. Breakfast was very good, and the host always was happy to make amendments based on my requests.

The Owner and the Staff were very, very, very friendly and the level of their hosbitality was extraordinary. I very much enjoyed knowing and meeting them. The breakfast was very good.

Although I booked a One bed room, the size of the room was aprox. 1.5 m x 3m (so not very big!) but comparing to other good thing in the local... that can not consider as a negetive point.

The host is very kind, has excellent humor, was always up for a chat, and answered all my questions about Cambridge. Very "at home" atmosphere. Bed mattress was excellent. Everything very clean. Location is perfect to visit the May bumps rowing competition on the Cam, which was the main purpose of my visit :-) The main part of town (where all the colleges etc are) can be reached by foot within 15 min.

I needed an accommodation near the Cambridge University St. John's college and was happy to have stayed in the Carlton Lodge. The host is very kind and even provided me a power adapter since I forgot to bring mine. It was always nice to have a chat with him. The room was cozy and warm, with a TV, water sink, and kettle - for me, everything I needed. The WC was directly nearby. All in all a very nice stay - thanks a lot! :)
