We had been booked in a B&B In Cambridge but the standard was not of our taste. We called in at the tourist information office for a booklet on the accomedation around Cambrige and called the land lady of Benson House and she told us that she had room. We got to the guest house and found a real dimond... More

I booked this B&B after a horrible experience last November in Cambridge at another place. This time I wanted to make sure I found somewhere good as I was travelling with my very elderly father. I had spoken to the landlady on the phone and discussed his needs (no more than 1 flight of stairs, twin beds etc). We arrived... More

I stayed here one night, never again. The parking is exactly at the back of the house, but to get to it you have to drive round three blocks. I had a heavy bag to carry - I am a middle-aged lady - and I had to carry my bag all the way round walking there and back to the... More

We stayed at Benson House in September 2012 while attending a meeting at Robinson House (easy walk to the Cambridge colleges or to old Cambridge). Beds comfy-ours on 3rd floor was plenty firm by the way (apparently someone didn't like their twin beds in other review), bathroom compact but nice. Owner is very thoughtful (a B&B "lifer"), leaves snacks and... More

Very comfortable room (the Queen bed room I stayed in anyway), and atmosphere. Superb hi-speed wireless internet. Friendly (but not too friendly!) hostess, who made a scrumptuous breakfast in the morning. Close to the center of Cambridge. Wonderful stay, if only for 1 night. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Benson house for two nights, at the same time as the lady who rated with only one star. Nevertheless, my experience is opposite and absolutely positive. The room was a bit oldfashioned, but fine, and I could sleep very well in the bed. Noise from the street was no issue. Breakfast was excellent, including fresh fruit, selection... More

I just got back from a night at Benson House and want to warn those who are tempted to go there. The twin bed room (that I got for myself and daughter) was small but sufficient for the price, though street noise was not good, and the beds were 'hammock' style-- so not for iffy backs. But I had specified... More
