Our room was on the bigger side, clean but the bed was shortish. The shower is often a challenge in England. The Carlton Lodge provides parking and if full, there is free parking around the corner. While listed as a hotel, it really is a Bed & Breakfast.

This is not an expensive operation that distracts guests from their road-weariness with fancy-looking fixtures and pillow mints. It is a family affair, run by a friendly and personable dad who paints his own hallways and is happy to talk over breakfast about the economy or the latest sport scores.

My husband and I stayed here last August while we were in Cambridge for a friends wedding. We chose this B & B on the basis of trip advisor reviews which seemed reasonable. All we wanted was a clean place to sleep but, unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The room was very dated and grubby looking and smelt damp even... More

The mattresses in the twin suite are getting very old. The room was on the small side. No warm breakfast. Parking in front of the house. Walking distance from center (25 minutes).

On a street liberally sown with guest houses, I believe that I may have struck upon the best. Ciaran was friendly and efficient, the room clean and well appointed, and the buffet breakfast excellent.

I use Carlton Lodge as a base for our yearly language group visits to England. It is very close to the center of Cambridge, involving a short walk across Midsummer Common. The facilities are functional, clean and in good order. The overwhelming advantages of this guest house are the cost, as it seems to give the greatest value for money... More
