Arrived at the Acorn with a slight feeling of dread after reading TA reviews and knowing that we had been allocated one of the dreaded "annex" rooms. After attempting to get into the ridiculously small car park at the rear of the guest house we had to settle with parking on the road 100 yards away - thankfully we had... More

Rooms/bathrooms clean and rooms pleasant. Three breakfasts on offer and for us all acceptable. Quiet location despite being on a main road and easy access to the city centre via a short walk through a residential area and then along the river and Jesus Green (about 20 minutes). Small but well supplied supermarket just across the street - what more... More

Stayed here for one night over the May Day Bank Holiday and had a pleasant stay. Don't really understand the bad reviews. The rooms are a bit tired but kept clean and you get a decent breakfast all for £75 which is really reasonable given that you are only a 10 minute walk to the city centre. The owner is... More

Lovely Hotelier - very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was lovely! We were blessed with great weather so it was a beautiful 10 minute walk through the park to the city centre. The room was clean and adequate, we had a family room with 2 single beds and a double, it was comfortable and quiet but the toilet/shower room was too... More

Friendly and welcoming, we were given a small but charming room with a very comfy bed. We were in the annexe which is the equivalent of a modern mews just behind the guesthouse - not miles away as another reviewer suggests! The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice: the English breakfast was massive and the continental had a lovely... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night when visiting Cambridge for a weekend. On arrival we were led to "the annexe" - in fact an entirely separate building - a house over the road and down the next street. Luckily I was with my husband, but had I been travelling alone I would have been extremely uncomfortable with... More

I stayed this February and was disgusted by the state of the rooms and the appalling attitude of the owner. If I had not arrived so late and also worked so late the following day I would have walked straight out of the door. My first night was spent in a scruffy, exceedingly cramped and stuffy room in an annex.... More

There could have been no mistake as though we booked through booking.com we also had direct contact with the hotel about our room This has caused great distress to us as it is now too late to find...

We stayed in a double ensuite in August, and it was a bit depressing. The room was fine, but the bathroom was absolutely tiny and the door was flimsy which made it barely seperate from the bedroom, with the sink actually in the room - not really a problem but it all felt a bit cheap and badly done.
