Feel the nice atomosphere of histrical Cambridge

21 September 2026

Room is old fashioned, especially the bathroom, but totally it’s nice to stay and reasonable. Not only here, but taste of coffee was terrible. Tea was good.

Lovely atmosphere in a very historical location.

Super breakfasts each morning, and a lovely Buttery Bar.

The only downside was the problems I had accessing my room with the key card.

Overall though, an amazing 3 night stay.

Comfortable and central accommodation

21 September 2026

We were given a warm and efficient welcome to the college at the Lodge. Our room was large, clean, quiet and comfortable and it was lovely to walk through the courtyards to it. Breakfast was good with lots of variety. The location of the college is ideal. We will definitely use Christ’s College again.
