I stayed here for 4 years and all the staff are absolutely perfect and so welcoming. I couldn’t have asked for anything better, they go above and beyond making you feel like you have a family you can rely on outside of your own. 100% would recommend over anywhere in Cambridge from experience and have recommended here to all my friends.
