Hotels in Cambridge - Stow-Cum-Quy

Famed for its world-leading university, Cambridge is a vibrant city that is steeped in rich tradition. From the beautiful river Cam that runs through the backs of the colleges, to the stunning architecture that frames many of the city's green spaces, Cambridge is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in England. The unique history of this university city makes it perfect for visitors looking to soak up some culture, so if you're looking for a traditional hotel Cambridge is a great place to start. From admiring some art at one of the city's many galleries, to taking a stroll around the university's ancient grounds, there is something to keep you entertained for days. Aside from the city's academic roots, Cambridge is also home to a variety of thriving independent restaurants and bars, and on the weekend Market Square opens up with stalls selling gourmet food, clothing and souvenirs.

You'd be missing out if you headed to Cambridge without paying a visit to one of the many university's backs. These winding, cobbled paths run through the centre of the city and overlook the beautiful river Cam. Crossing the Cam are the 'Bridge of Sighs' at St Johns, and the wooden 'Mathematical Bridge' at Queen's, both of which provide an excellent spot to watch punters pass by during the summer months. If you fancy a taste of quaint English countryside, follow the river Cam through the green meadows of Grantchester to the Orchard Tea Gardens, where a quintessentially English spread of tea and scones are on the menu. If you are looking to find hotel deals outside of Cambridge this would be a great place to stay. If you are looking for something to do in the evenings, Cambridge is home to many traditional and cosy pubs. The Eagle is situated just off Kings Road and is famed for being the location where Watson and Crick discovered DNA. This traditional drinking hole has a charmingly mismatched interior and used to be a local haunt for RAF servicemen during World War 2 - their engravings can still be found on the ceiling of the RAF bar. Other great pubs include The Anchor, overlooking the river Cam, and the dimly lit and eclectic Flying Pig.

No matter if you're planning on staying centrally or somewhere more remote, Opodo will be able to help you find a hotel deal to suit you. If you are looking to visit all of the main attractions, it would make more sense to stay in the centre of the city. If you search for hotels within the Cambridge ring road, you could be staying within the oldest part of the city and closer to the action. Many of the more up-market options are situated in the centre of the city, and cheap hotels can be found near Cambridge train station and in surrounding villages such as Girton. If you aren't looking to book a hotel, many of the city's universities also offer up bed and breakfast opportunities to guests. This can give visitors a great way to get up close and personal with the city's rich history without breaking the bank.
