About Autumn House
Autumn House suits travellers after a quiet, no-fuss base rather than a grand hotel experience - couples, solo visitors or anyone happy with straightforward comfort over polish. As an adults-only guest house on Newmarket Road, it's a practical choice for exploring Cambridge without the city-centre premium.
Rooms are casual and comfortable, each with an en-suite bathroom, a flat-screen TV and drinks available in room. Breakfast is included, Wi-Fi is complimentary, and reception operates around the clock, with a laundry service on hand for longer stays. Guests can look out over the garden, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, a genuine plus given the city's limited parking options.
The location puts a pub, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, along with entertainment options and a nearby golf course, and the River Cam and Cambridge's historic sights are close by for days spent exploring on foot. It's a settled, unfussy stay rather than a luxury one, built around ease and convenience.

What guests say
Great place to stay when in Cambridge. Very clean and tidy and the well organised host, Irfan, goes that extra mile to ensure your stay is a great experience. Cereals, bread, yogurts and jams are provided free of charge and when Irfan found out I was a Coeliac he went out of his way to ensure that GF items would be available to me for my breakfast.

Mediocre in standard. What's Good? Bus stop is close by and easy to get into Cambridge city centre. It's has 3 free parking slots and street parking. Cereal, milk, yoghurt, bread etc are provided and you can have your breakfast early. What's NOT great: it can be noisy as its on the main road; air quality may be an issue if you have asthma; room n bed for two can be small; bed is soft and not good if you have back pain; we spotted mice droppings in the room. It's a decent accomodation but not great!

Really great location and high standard of rooms. Irfan is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Complimentary cereals and toast were great for breakfast. I’d highly recommend staying here if visiting Cambridge

Autumn House is what you see from the reviews. It isn't particularly attractive, but it is clean and well run. Al gives a great intro. The kitchen is terrific; it is easy to do your own cooking. There's enough for breakfast to get you started for the day. The location is ok. It is a pleasant walk to the uni, and the bus is convenient. As noted by various reviewers, the downstairs double is about as tiny as a room can be and still accommodate the basics of a hotel room. We knew that going in, so it wasn't a big deal. My two quibbles both have to do with problems when it is hot. The downstairs room is quite close to the street, and we didn't feel comfortable leaving the window open as we slept about a foot away. It would feel more secure if there were a way to affix it open just a couple of inches. The second quibble is with the duvet system. Please provide a duvet and a top sheet. We had to dismantle the duvet to get comfortable on a hot night. We were ok with just the duvet cover, but too hot to sleep with the duvet.
