Brilliant location. Sitting on the deck was fantastic, no better place in Cambridge I am sure. Check in smooth, it had plenty of space and was clean.

After a small hiccup that was resolved well and quickly the stay was great. Interesting spot to sit and watch but also very central and an easy walk to most things.

Really lovely and unusual place to stay. Great location on the river and very easy to walk to all the main areas of the town. Loved sitting out on the deck in the sun. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
