    There was nothing not to like. It suited us down to the ground as we have family 10 mins walk away, and the bus stop into Cambridge was 6 mins walk away. Very convenient.

    It was self catering, very comfortable and had everything we needed. We didn't eat/cook there at all, but it looked as though everything was there should we have wanted to, not a huge kitchen area but it looked perfectly adequate and there was a fridge available etc. Great shower!

    I shared some feedback with the hosts about the light levels at night being high. They pointed out that the lights outside the Summer House had been left on all night, so I'll know for next time. But would definitely benefit from black out curtains or blinds overall. Otherwise all perfect.

    Immaculately clean. Beautiful accommodation. Quiet setting. Everything you need in a holiday let. I wish I'd had more time to appreciate and make use of it. In the heatwave, the Summer House remained beautifully cool, and it was especially nice to make use of the electric fan. Hosts were very friendly. Nice area, all 20 mph. I saw a black squirrel on the lawn opposite - never seen one before!

    The bed definitely needs replacement. TV connections should be improved.

    This property was well equipped and much thought was given for the niceties of short stay / living. The sheets were clean and self catering items were well provided for. Parking was off street and in a very residential area. Very nice general ambiance. Easy drive into town.

    The vertical blinds on the wall to ceiling windows (facing the main property) had exposed window on each side (only around half a centimeter). Walking through the back garden of the main house to get to the property.

    Lovely annex at the back of the main property. Really well equipped with a sizeable bathroom and good shower. Comfortable bed and good kitchenette. WiFi good for streaming

    Only thing I would miss if I stayed more than a couple of nights would be an oven. Otherwise brilliant. Only minor issue as microwave and hob provided.

    Location great. Easy access from the A14 and a 5 minute drive from the centre of Cambridge and it seems to be an easy bus ride too. Lovely village location - nice place to go for a run in the morning. Parking great. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Pint of milk in the fridge was great. Bedding is good quality and the shower is nice.

    Quite difficult to locate in the dark. Kitchenette was very limited - only a microwave, no hob. - this could have been clearer. if we had been ther in daylight, outlook would have been challenging as looking into owners’ property.

    On the coldest days of the year it was toasty warm which was much appreciated. Furnishings were just what was needed.

    Nothing. Everything was nice!

    The Summer House has everything one needs to spend a few days in Cambridge. It is very close to Girton College: only a 10-15min walk. And it is very close to a bus stop, so it is easy to get to the city center. Also, Mark and Jane are very nice and always very diligent! I would definitely stay in the Summer House again.

    Blinds could not be lifted, I.e. little daylight. Not clear that you cannot watch terrestrial TV. No big deal but would be good to know in advance.

    Comfy beds, nice spacious room, useful small kitchen area, generous provision of coffee,tea, milk and toiletries. Spacious bathroom friendly welcome.

    I could have probably done with another pillow as the one provided was fairly thin, although I understand some people prefer this. I also wasn’t a fan of the artwork situated above the bed as I was anxious the heavy wooden frame was going to fall on us if accidentally knocked.

    Mark was very communicative before the stay and available to contact if we needed him throughout. The house was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. It had a very homely vibe which was appreciated.

    The only thing that could have been better was that it could have been a bit nearer to the centre of Cambridge, as 3 miles was a bit further than we wanted to walk and on Sundays the buses only came every hour. On the plus side though, at the weekend, it's a quick drive to somewhere about a mile from the centre where there is some free on-street parking. This allowed us to avoid the traffic and high parking charges in the centre.

    Everything about the accommodation was very good: the bed was comfortable; the shower was better than I'm used to at home; the small kitchen area was well equipped; and everything was spotlessly clean. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and the area extremely quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep. It made a nice change from the usual big faceless hotels we usually stay in, and the absence of a long traipse through a maze of corridors to get to your room was a blessing too.

    It’s a bit of a distance from restaurants (there are 2 within walking distance) and the city center.

    The host was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. He was also great with communicating over WhatsApp. The house is a standalone cottage which was great. It was very quiet and peaceful.

    Nothing. Perfect property.

    The property is absolutely beautiful and has all the amenities you could want, including WiFi, TV, a fridge and even shampoo and conditioner which I really appreciated. Wonderful powerful shower, very clean and plenty of towels. The host was very kind and approachable and I was able to get in touch very easily via WhatsApp and phone. I appreciated the guide to the property that I was sent prior to my stay. The location is great, with safe, free parking on site and a short drive to Cambridge center. I highly recommend this lovely place, and wouldn't hesitate to stay again when visiting Cambridge.
