🤔 Did you know that if you're from Cambirdge you're know as a Cantabrigian?!?
The term "Cantabrigian" comes from the medieval Latin name Cantabrigia, which was based on the Anglo-Saxon name Cantebrigge.
The term was first used around 1540. The term can also refer to a student or graduate of Cambridge University, and is often shortened to "Cantab".

We’ve got your perfect weekend in Cambridge all mapped out - all you need to do is pick the date!
This is EXACTLY what we would do if we had a weekend in Cambridge…
✨ Friday�
Check into your gorgeous accommodation and let the luxury commence. Whether you’re relaxing in the spacious living areas or unwinding with a drink in hand, your weekend starts here. Once you’re ready to head out, kick off your evening sampling wine and charcuterie at The Wine Rooms.
✨ Saturday�
Begin with brunch at Fitzbillies (grab a box of Chelsea buns to take back home, they're out of this world!), followed by some shopping in the city’s charming streets - don’t forget our historic market in the centre. For lunch, head to The Eagle Pub, a fascinating stop steeped in history. Then, enjoy the quintessential Cambridge experience: punting on the River Cam. After dipping back to your home away from home to freshen up, you can head back out to indulge in the night life that our city has to offer. Sip pre-dinner drinks at Parker's Tavern, indulge in dinner at The Ivy, and cap it all off with creative cocktails at The Lab.
✨ Sunday�
Enjoy a lazy start to the day, perhaps with long conversation in the kitchen with a coffee and a croissant or a stroll around the garden, before a late check-out. Afterward, take a serene walk along The Backs to soak up the city’s tranquil beauty. Stop for a spot of lunch at The Granth.
Our properties are the perfect base for your Cambridge adventure. Book now to secure your stay and make this weekend your reality.
