We were quite disappointed with our experience at the Carolina Guest House. We booked our stay after reading all of the positive reviews about the accommodations and hospitality. We were disappointed with both. The rooms were small and the beds were uncomfortable. I can only assume that in an effort to make our room "ensuite" the owners built a bathroom in a small closet. The sink was tiny, and the shower stall was so small one had to open the door to dry off after the shower. Rather than the small individual soaps and shampoo offered by every other B&B, this guest house had large multiuse bottles (only 1/4 full). There was a TV in each room (we had two rooms), however, there were only 3 channels. Our host, Pas, was pleasant, but not really helpful. When asked questions, most of the answers were simple yes or no with no elaboration. Breakfast was also a disappointment. Full English part was adequate, but the continental breakfast consisted of white loaf bread (sometimes even a loaf of wheat bread), pastries and croissants in cellophane (that is, from a box), and spotted bananas and little apples. The fruit at the market was much fresher. In fact we often bought fresh fruit at the market and brought our own to breakfast. The house was on the bus route, but the buses only run once every hour on Sundays and after 7pm. The walk into town was truly a hike (30 to 40 minutes). I am sure there are better accommodations in Cambridge.

Pas was very gracious and helpful. It was an easy hike to city center. The bus was quick and the return station was identified by a very helpful bus driver(station C bus 2). Breakfast was great, the room very clean and comfortable. We will stay with Pas again on our next trip to Cambridge.

Arrived in the early a.m. hours after series of flight delays into Stansted. We called to tell them that we would be very late & they made arrangements for us to be able to get in. The beds were comfortable. The place was clean. Very much like visiting family in some ways. They even made arrangements to have breakfast a little later so that we could sleep in a bit after arriving so late.
They also helped us arrange our travel arrangements for the week (we got into Stansted so late almost everything was close - we barely made the last bus to Cambridge).
They were wonderful.
* We let them know in advance about my allergies & they also had gluten free toast available to me.
Absolutely wonderful experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 week stay at this guest house whilst i was on a 3 week programe at addenbrookes hospital. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend this guest house to anyone staying in the cambridge area.
