A little further down the street is The Bull, and travellers staying at the two hotels vied with each other to the telling outrageous 'tales of the road', which supposedly led to the famous phrase 'Cock and Bull story' derives. Today The Cock Hotel is a decent place for bar meals, weddings and overnight stays. There is a nice enclosed paved area away from the main street, and private car parking at the rear accessible from Vicarage Road at the rear. The bar meals are generally good value, but I've found some of their mass catering for groups to be rather disappointing.

Wi-Fi at Menzies Hotel is free however it is quite spotty. You are logged in to the Wi-Fi at one minute, the next minute you are disconnected. The Wi-Fi connection is almost non-existent in your bedroom and seems to be the best in the bar. Even in the bar though, the connection is off and on. It is very frustrating. Of course, I'm not going to base my review of this hotel on just the Wi-Fi--this hotel is very clean, and on beautiful grounds. The beds are comfortable and the very tasty full English breakfast will satisfy the hungriest morning appetite. The hotel has a dining room which serves dinner after 7pm and also has room service dining. Dinner we had here was really good. The hotel has a golf course but I cant really talk about it too much because I didn't really experience it. I'm sure it is beautiful. The staff is attentive and nice. The hotel is about 5 miles NW of the Cambridge city square. The #5 bus will get you to Emmanuel College in about 20-25 minutes depending on the traffic. Down the street from the Menzies is a pub that offers pretty good food and drinks and 2 minutes from there is a 24 hour Tesco (with AMAZINGLY fast free WIFI) and a Costa Coffee shop. Overall, I think for me, the frustration of the spotty Wi-Fi over-powered the many positive aspects of the hotel. I would probably not stay here ever again unless I absolutely had to.

My friends and I had a complete giggle staying at this hotel!…read more It is a really good place to stay if you are in a big group (we were on a hen party) and this worked out far cheaper than similar hotels in the centre of Cambridge even after we spent a fortune on taxis!! However it wasn't perfect...and I don't think I'd choose to stay here if I was on a romantic weekend break! The good parts: - There were large, clean lovely rooms - The curtains block out ALL light so we could go clubbing all night, then sleep during the morning without being woken up by the sunshine - yay! - They have enough stock of prosecco to keep a large group of ladies well bubbled - The spa facilities can really help with hangovers! - The breakfast made me happy The less good: - There was a really dodgy kettle in our room (it would just keep boiling and boiling and burnt my friend's hand when we tried to unplug it.) We told the staff that it should be removed as it is dangerous and they ignored us/didn't change it - It's quite far away from Cambridge's centre. A taxi cost between £12 and £20 (it was different every time!!) - We had a meal included for the first night...it was a carvery /buffet and wasn't particularly good. Maybe it is designed for hungry golfers as all food tastes better when you're really really hungry...

The location in the town centre is good, & there is a car park to the rear (access from Queen St/Park St).

The Kirkwood House is a Guest House. No Breakfast is served. I knew that in advance…read more It is located not quite in the City Center, but the City of Cambridge i just about 20 Minutes by feet. Its a nice walk, and you may cross the River Cam, enjoy the park an be in the middle of the town. On your way you can have some breakfast in a pub, wich opens at 8 oclock. Traditional English breakfast (2,99 Pounds) or Sandwiches for less. The Kirkwood House ist not stylish at all. The Rooms are small, but en suite and very clean. The prices are appropiate. So three stars are appropiate too. I did not regret my choice of the Kirkwood House.

We stayed for 2-nights in room #15 and attended my sister's evening wedding reception at Hotel Felix. From our unplanned early check-in to staff working well past midnight to ensure the wedding guests had everything we needed... I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention we all received. The hotel grounds are beautiful and a picture perfect spot for wedding festivities. The bride tossed her bouquet/groom tossed the garter from the penthouse balcony. There's a beautiful gazebo out back for pictures or just sitting and chatting with a cocktail. There are several statues/public art outside. Lots of parking. Plus, catering and bar tending staff were great. I could go on and on... Thanks, Hotel Felix for a good stay and making my sister's wedding reception so special!

For me it was reasonable. The room was great. Nice big bed and spacious room. Internet connect was ok but pricy. I did not have a car and showed up late so ate in the restaurant on location. You are a good walk or taxi ride away from anything else so if you don't have a car you probably will end up eating at this restaurant. The local office for the company I work for has their Christmas party here and everyone seems to like it. The restaurant on location which is called Graffiti, I thought was good. I also did not get small potions and went with the special of the day which included a salad with prosciutto on it that I really liked. The bar is 5 feet away has a different menu and not that interesting. My second night stay I ordered from this menu and this was a small portion.

Bed is comfortable but nothing special. Tiny TV, hard towels, not much in the way of amenities. Not a drawer to be seen. But the breakfasts make it worth staying here!

This is the perfect place to stay if you're visiting Bedford!…read more Its affordable, as it's part of the Travel in Chain, and as such it's clean and comfortable. The best thing about this particular travel inn, is that it's situation on Priory Marina, a beautiful lake with an abundance of wildlife! it's a lovely tranquil place where you can take a walk, or even hire a boat and have a little jaunt on the lake. Not only do you have the advantage of the lake, you're also very near to the town centre, it's about a 20 minute walk away. You're also close to the river, which again, is lovely for a brisk stroll. I would highly recommend this hotel

Pass by the exit for the services, and almost immediately after the entry slip from said services, indicate and take the next slip road, and drive through the car wash area. We feared the worst, but actually it was ok. We had a room at the back, and didn't hear any traffic. We asked for extra towels at reception (receptionist was very very helpful). Room looked pretty clean, sheets had holes, but were clean. Plenty of parking, although it's a busy road and a short slip road to rejoin the road. Very handy for Cambridge

This branch of the Travelodge chain is located just off the Eastbound carriage way of the A14, so…read moreit is only accessible if travelling in that direction. If you are coming from the Cambridge city centre, you can do a u-turn by coming off at Cambridge services and crossing the A14 there. Also, please note that the hotel itself is not visible from the road until it's too late to turn off, so watch out for the hand car wash or Little Chef instead. The hotel is situated just behind those two. There is ample car parking in front of the building. The Travelodge chain itself operates like the budget airlines, the earlier you book the cheaper it's likely to be, so book extraearly for nights when there's an event in town. It offers great value but basic accommodation. Extras such as an early check in or late check out have to be paid for separately and breakfast is not included in the price (there is a Little Chef just across the car park). The ensuite rooms are all clean and tidy, but offer no luxuries such as a minibar - you can ask for an iron and hairdryer at reception for which they do not charge extra. Unfortunately the mattresses in the beds are very soft, which is not good if you suffer from a bad back. Due to the traffic noise I would ask for a room to the back.
