"Vince came and met us upon arrival, we were very early but parked the car no problem and were given the keys there and then. Really great customer service, the room was fantastic, clean and well presented. Breakfast was great too, a wide choice of food all fresh and cooked to order. Would highly recommend Home From Home, for anyone looking for a really decent B&B in Cambridge. Short 15 to 20 minute stroll across Jesus Green to the city centre. Thanks for a lovely stay."
