My husband and I stayed at Avalon on 23rd April 2012. It was our very first experience of bed and breakfast accommodation and I must say it was an excellent introduction. As we drove up to the house we found we had our own parking space to park our hire car. This was a real bonus as we later found... More

A very pleasant stay at the Avalon, located within easy walking distance of the town centre and well-placed for the A14 and M11. Comfortable and well-appointed room and a superb full English breakfast. Nice people in charge.Tremendously good value.

We stayed for two nights at Avalon and had complete satisfaction. The rooms are spacious, exceptionally well equipped and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts are excellent and cater for all tastes. Pat is a great host and gave us a warm welcome. If we go back to Cambridge Avalon is where we will stay. It was superb.

We stayed one night at Avalon. Both rooms are very well presented, clean and cosy, they each have nice characters. The bathroom is absolutely hygienic and shower is powerful. Especially firm mattress is so comfortable and slept very well. The owner is gentle and nice lady, we were so happy to stay here!! This B&B is really gem. The location... More

Avalon has been our B & B of choice when we have visited our son in Cambridge during the last 4 years. Pat and Chris are always welcoming, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, and the cooked breakfasts are excellent. We have never found a B & B to better it!

The rooms were attractively decorated and furnished, and both bedroom and en-suite were spotlessly clean. The breakfast was excellent. The bus into the town centre stops outside the front door, or there is a pleasant 20 minute walk along the river or through Jesus Green. There is off-street parking in front of the house, so we didn't need to use... More

Pat was such a helpful and lovely lady willing to assist with any of our enquiries would definately reccommend. Breakfast was always yummy and the situation of the b & b was perfect only 10mins walk to the heart of cambridge and the universities, sights and great pubs, really enjoyed our stay.

I stayed at Avalon for 11 nights. Every aspect of this B&B is excellent: atmosphere, facilities, cooking, cleanliness, quiet, proximity to the city center (bus #1 stops right outside the door every 10 mn, you can park anywhere or walk to town in 20 mn). The owners are attentive to the details and everything works perfectly. Cannot recommended enough.

Being a fan of Trip Advisor we were encouraged by the positive reviews on the Avalon B & B before we booked. We found upon arrival a friendly welcome from Pat who spent time informing us about our room (room on the side). It was quite spacious, meticulously clean and well appointed. The bed was super comfy and the bed... More
