As regular visitors to Cambridge, we've stayed in a few places and would definitely recommend Alington House...Good location for town (walkable, bus-able and cab-able). Extremely friendly welcome and excellently presented room. Immaculately clean. We'd absolutely stay again!

This is a lovely B&B. Elizabeth is friendly and accomodating. She is attentive in ensuring toy have the best stay in Cambridge. We stayed in a double room and it was clean, spacious and well presented. Would definitely stay again! :)

I first arrived at Alington in the heart of a dark, snowy winter, after a long day in the office, having first travelled there on one of those days the AA advises you not to travel if you don't have to. It was a real refuge; I appreciated the generosity of the heating being on... many b&bs I'd stayed in... More

Stayed just one night in the twin room the night before my wedding.Room was the twin, disabled facilities room. It had a wet room and was as expected for the price, basic, clean and functional. A decent cooked breakfast and made all the more pleasant by very friendly and helpful staff. Location wise, there are places nearer the centre if... More

Truly fantastic. Helpful, breakfast was lush,very clean, really friendly. What more could you want? The ensuite was a little small, but how long do you spend in a bathroom? I'd happily stay there again.

Elizabeth was a charming and most helpful host for our four days at Alington House. On her advice we purchased week-long bus passes, which made our travel in and around Cambridge painless. Her breakfasts were hearty and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her each morning. She helped me contact a friend whom I had not communicated with for decades,... More

Stayed here for 3 days for a business trip. Free wifi and continental breakfast make the Alington much better value than any of other hotels or B&Bs in Cambridge. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good with nice fresh coffee. Owner is very helpful and has lots of local knowledge regarding local sites and getting around. Highly... More

Having quickly glanced at the other reviews, I'm quite surprised by the bad ones. My experience of the B&B was that it was clean, friendly and with a perfectly adequate breakfast. I booked the room at the last minute for a spur of the moment trip and it met our needs perfectly. We were directly on the main road but... More

Just arrived home having spent two of the worst nights ever in this guest house. We booked the "annex" twin room. Having looked at the photo's on their website I was expecting a bright and airy room with modern facilities. What we actually got was a poky little room in a semi detached house 2 doors down the road from... More

This guest appeared happy when she first arrived, but became extremely angry when she realised the other people in the annexe were Indian and African and demanded a room in the main building. I suggested she find other accommodation, but she had already checked and everywhere was full. Her anger at being, as she described, 'treated like this' was such... More
