Cambridge accounts for much of the choice, from long-standing names like The Gonville Hotel close to the city centre to smaller guesthouses such as Worth House and Cambridge Bed & Breakfast tucked into residential streets within walking distance of the colleges and river. Term-time and graduation weeks push prices up and rooms get scarce, so booking ahead in the city matters more than elsewhere in the county.
Ely offers a quieter alternative, with places like The Old Hall Ely and Alington House giving easy access to the cathedral and riverside without city traffic, while Wisbech's options, including The White Lion Hotel, suit those exploring the Fens or the north of the county.
Beyond the towns, converted farm buildings and country houses such as Crafts Hill Barn and Labbadax House provide a more rural base, useful if you're touring rather than settling in one place. Peacocks Tearoom and Fine B&B and Autumn House show the range runs from characterful small stays to straightforward comfortable rooms.
