Ramada Cambridge, hotel in St Ives

Just off junction 28 of the A14, Ramada Cambridge is only a 20-minute drive from Cambridge city centre. There is a 24-hour reception, bar, free WiFi and free parking on site.

No frills, just perfect for short stay and the price was great , breakfast is easy with enough choice and will recommend to anyone looking for an easy well priced stay over with restaurants and shops all on site , the view from our room was over the fields into the countryside so anyone fancying a stroll on a fine evening will be more than impressed with the location . Located just off the M11 motorway 1 hour from London is perfect for travellers heading north and south of Britain and for those who wish to visit the ancient and academic city of Cambridge with a unique nightlife and cultural dining , I have rated this hotel 5/5 purely on its convenience and I will continue to revisit in the future

Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon, hotel in St Ives

Boasting excellent transport links, this contemporary-style 4-star hotel is set on the outskirts of Huntingdon, just minutes away from the A14, linking to the M11 southbound and the A1(M) north.

Rooms really nicely done out, beds comfy, best nights sleep ever. Large tv, WiFi really quick, bathroom quality. Breakfast was open buffet so help yourself, loads of choice & delicious. Tried the gym & there is plenty of weights & machines for a good workout. Excellent hotel, a little bit more than other hotels but price is justified with the high standard set.

    The town is very picturesque, nice walks down by the river. There is a cycle path that runs all along the busway, from St Ives to Cambridge. This is flat, completely traffic-free and about 15 miles each way.

    We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives. Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose). We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

    I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

    No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.

    Very well located for access to town with plenty of parking on site. It’s a quiet, small and friendly hotel with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. The only disappointment was the lack of cooked breakfast. We’ve stayed before and this has been good but sadly they are struggling to replace staff who’ve left but I would stress this is a national and hopefully temporary problem and the long serving staff have been working very hard to keep it going. Highly recommend for visiting St. Ives or a pit stop en route near Cambridge.

    The pub and the location was perfect for us , yes it's 45 mins walk into lovely St ives but that was a bonus for us as we always like a little walk when we stay away. The pub itself is absolutely stunning.Looks like a painting alongside some stunning cottages and on the riverbank. A special mention to the the staff , especially young ashleigh, she could not be more helpful and always polite and smiling ,thankyou so much . Overall the perfect break , we will be back .

    Lovely comfortable house. Home from home. Visiting for a weekend to see family. The house made a great base and was an easy walk into St Ives. Very comfy beds. Great shower. The property was very clean and had a nice garden to relax in. The house was well equipped. Ray is a fantastic host and was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

    Excellent location in the centre of St Ives, but in a quiet residential Court yard. The facilities were superb, with a very well proportioned kitchen and diner, a cosy lounge, comfortable beds and a lovley long bath. It is a very well heated house too, ideal for a mid winter stay.
