Built as a family home in 1867, the building retains details such as crown moldings and pine stairs, with a shared common room and a garden where guests can spend time outside their rooms. It offers a smaller-scale stay in Cambridge for university visits, family trips or a few days in town.

Room amenities include a personal fridge, Wi-Fi and an adjustable desk. The inn uses contactless check-in and provides fruit, snacks and coffee. Parking is limited and must be reserved ahead, so arrange it when you book if you’re bringing a car. Ask directly about room layouts and any specific access needs.
