Cambridgeshire

Cambridge is awash with astounding ancient architecture. Come to stroll in the cathedral grounds, muse in campus squares, doze in the punts of the river Cam, and soak up the overwhelmingly tranquil appeal. Fanning out from the city are charming towns such as medieval St Ives, Ely with its remarkable cathedral, the market town of March deep in the Fens heartland and attractive Huntingdon, only a short train ride from London. Our inspected and selected collection of special places to stay can help you discover all this and more: hearty meals dished up in ancient thatched inns, fine dining in gourmet restaurants, and café life spilling onto genteel streets.
