    The boat was really lovely and facilities were great considering it is a boat. The host was attentive and ensured we were comfortable maneuvering the boat before sending us on our way. And provided lots of guidance on the water ways and local destinations.

    We had room 6 which was a family room, even though we booked a double. It was massive with a bath too! Breakfast was excellent and The Ashley is in a great location for the river and boathouses.

    The location was perfect - steps away from Queens' College, where i needed to be, next to the Scudamore's Boatyard Punting Station, where you can hire punt or do shared punt tour, and very close the city center. The hotel has a wonderful garden facing the river. I've booked a standard king room - cosy and well decorated. Nespreso machine in the room. Breakfast was delicious and varied.

    The location was perfect for exploring Cambridge University and punting on the river. I liked the balcony view from my cozy room. The parking was also convenient. The lobby was very creative with punting boats and DNA models, and it was a nice touch to give us key cards named after famous Cambridge scholars.

    The location was ideal for walking into town along a towpath with lots of houseboats along the way which was very scenic. The host was exceptional liking a joke and laugh and made us feel very much at home as if we had known him for years. It was helpful to have a front door key as we had a show on the Friday night and were late back.
