Fabulous hostel. Ticks all the boxes from the staff to the facilities to the cleanliness to the location. Everything you need. There is a quiet family area/sitting plus the cool cafe restaurant area with a cool atmosphere which are both superb The kitchen is excellent too with three hobs. The whole hostel is regularly cleaned.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Fabulous old building, clean modern bedroom, great location with a short drive to the Cambridge park and ride, and a short walk to the village to a lovely pub, though the hotel bar was nice too. Great value and safe parking. The grounds were sensational.
