Sweet rooms with very comfortable beds... Always clean, and the standard breakfast spread includes many options, all delicious (such as a big bowl of fresh cut strawberries!). The most welcoming B&B in Cambridge. Note: if you choose a room with a shared bathroom, there is a hair dryer in each, so you need not pack your own. I've never had to wait for a shower in one of the shared bathrooms.
