Crown & Punchbowl, hotel in Cambridge

Crown & Punchbowl has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Cambridge. The property is located 20 miles from Audley End House, 27 miles from The Apex and 28 miles from Ickworth House.

The Crown and Punchbowl is a quintessential country B&B. Ample parking, a cozy pub, elegant dining and smartly furnished rooms. We felt very well taken care of. Although it is quite far from the center of Cambridge, not to worry. There is a park and ride just a few miles away which is a much better alternative to driving into the city center congestion.

Amazing breakfast selection and a really lovely host. Very clean and a great room lay out.

Highly recommend and I'm sure we will return in the future.

    The location of the property was marvellous, close to the centre of Cambridge, we were able to park at the property for a fee of £18 per night which is a lot cheaper than public car parks in the area. The cost of the hotel was less than the regular chain hotels which although modern always lack character and comfort. The hotel provided a map of the town which made it easy to find our way around. The hotel is just by the river so ideal for evening walks along there and opposite one of the large green areas which was lovely to walk through.

    The location was ideal for the business trip that I undertook. I booked a studio apartment which was essentially the kitchen and breakfast room of a terraced house. While 'compact' living was the order of the day, everything was spotlessly clean and well presented. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped.

It is easy distance from the park and ride, which makes transportation into town easy and much cheaper than parking.
