Experience the charm of a traditional guest house in the heart of a historic town.
Hi, I am Inga and I am your host and I run the guesthouse. You will meet me for your check-in and I will be the one you see through out your stay.
I have been managing the guesthouse for 9 years and find it so rewarding, albeit hard work keeping all the rooms clean and making sure the guests are always happy.
If you have any questions during your stay I am here to answer them. I have visited all the sights around, and can help you plan a weekend or daytrip.

Experience the warmth and hospitality of a traditional guest house in a charming town setting.
Most visitors to Cambridge come to see the sights, as it has such a rich heritage and has a big place in history. Many of the sites, commons and roads all have their place and links to the past and you will come across many during your stay. The road that our guesthouse sits, Tenison Road is one of the many roads that has a link to the past.
Thomas, who shares my birthday (although I am a lot younger), was an English church leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1694 until his death. He was born locally in Cottenham, just 4 miles outside Cambridge and was educated at the free school in Norwich and then onto Corpus Christi College here in Cambridge as a scholar on Archbishop Mathew Parkers foundation. As vicar of St. Andrew the Great in Cambridge he set an example with his devoted attention to the sufferers from the plague. He attended Queen Mary during her final illness and preached her funeral sermon in Westminster Abbey. During his primary he crowned Queen Anne on 6 Feb 1665 and King George I on 20 Oct 1774.

Furthermore, guest houses often promote sustainable and eco-friendly tourism practices. Because they are typically smaller in scale, they tend to have a lower environmental impact compared to large hotels. Many guest house owners also prioritize sustainability by incorporating practices such as using local produce, reducing waste, and encouraging guests to explore on foot or by bicycle. These initiatives align with the growing demand for responsible tourism and help towns maintain their natural beauty and resources.
Lastly, guest houses serve as hubs for community interaction. They create opportunities for guests to connect with locals and fellow travelers, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experiences. Whether its through communal dining areas, organized activities, or friendly conversations with the host, guest houses often provide a warm and welcoming environment that leaves a lasting impression.
In conclusion, guest houses are more than just places to stay—they are vital contributors to the social, economic, and cultural fabric of towns. By supporting local communities, preserving heritage, and offering sustainable and personalized travel experiences, guest houses play a key role in shaping the identity and vibrancy of towns across the globe.
