Our family took over all 4 rooms for a weekend to attend a wedding in Cambridge. This is the nicest B&B I have ever stayed in. The whole place was spotless with a lovely lounge for us to hang out in. The beds were so comfortable that the only thing to tempt you out of them was Liz's wonderful breakfast... More

The thing that makes Duke House so special is the host. Liz is a charming, thoughtful but unobtrusive host with excellent taste in everything. The house feels like a beautiful private home with the best housekeeper in the world. Centrally located with gold dust parking Duke House is an excellent find that we intend to visit again and again.

my husband and I have just returned from a two night stay. The location of the B&B is great, breakfast with lots of locally sourced produce is superb. Rooms are very comfortable and we had a large en suite. The house is very tastefully decorated throughout and we could not fault the service. Thank you Liz !

This is a very high quality place to stay with easy access to central Cambridge, good parking, attractive rooms and delicious breakfast. We arrived with high expectations because even the directions were spot on. We were not disappointed as we were shown to our top floor room ( Duke of Wellington) overlooking the interesting Unitarian Chapel. The room was spotlessly... More

We have stayed for two nights twice in the last fortnight. Staying in different rooms.This really is a super place.

My wife and I stayed here recently for a wedding anniversary weekend.

I booked Duke House as we had a wedding in Cambridge. I choose it for several reasons - great reviews, looks nice, very central location - walking distance to everywhere in central Cambridge and because it also has free parking - not very common for hotels and B&B's in central Cambridge. We only stayed one night but the Cameron's were... More

Duke House is the perfect B&B in central Cambridge. Firstly the location is fantastic, within easy walk of everything you would want. We had the biggest of the rooms which was basically a mini suite. The decore of the room was very nicely done and was clean and modern while still feeling traditional. Our room also had a mini balcony... More

My husband and I booked Duke House for our first night away without our children in 3 years and we could not have chosen a more fabulous place to celebrate our freedom!!
