Apartments in Cambridge

1 bedroom flat in Cambridge with free parking
We had a great stay at Wioletta and Vincenzo’s place. It was lovely, cosy and clean. They were very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to find the apartment, check-in and check out procedures and generally anything else that we needed. The place also has a parking space which was absolutely brilliant! Shops, cafes and pubs are only a 5 minute walk away. Central Cambridge is a 15 minute walk away which is fantastic for exploring the area. There are also a variety of Punting companies only a 10 minute walk away which was one of the highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend staying here if you want to make the most of your time whilst staying in Cambridge. Thanks!

Self contained studio flat
This is a real gem! Shane has created the most comfortable and well equipped place one could imagine, all so comfortable, spotless and so well thought out and with some many lovely touches when one arrives in the flat (bread, milk, biscuits, tea, coffee). I can’t wait to be back! Thank you so much Shane for all you did and for the honey too! Very best wishes, Marcelo

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Liz’s place and appreciated the flat and its location very much. Liz provided coffee, tea, milk and biscuits which was very nice. The flat is very clean, the kitchen and bath are roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent and we walked everywhere in downtown Cambridge from there. Also, the street is quiet despite its central location. Definitely recommend!

Me and my partner stayed here for one night to celebrate his birthday and we had a lovely time! The studio was a great size to accommodate us both.

A lovely place for a weekend get away and would definitely recommend as well as return! :)

Staying here was brilliant, the hosts are very friendly. The room is modern, spotless and has a nice homey feel. The hot tub is top quality and the pool looks beautiful even though it was too cold for us to use. It’s a fairytale at a great price, the area is gorgeous and a 15 minute train ride away from Cambridge, overall great location!

Magdalene Lodge, Cambridge Country Club
Very nice spacious lodge which really lived up to the online description. Exceptionally clean and had everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Nice views over golf course and easy access to Cambridge and surrounding area. Karen was very helpful with the few queries we had and stay was entirely trouble free. Due to a busy schedule we didn’t have time to explore the obviously popular Country Club but were never disturbed by anyone using the Club.

Other great vacation rentals in Cambridge

Stunning 3 bed terrace close to Cambridge station
Anne’s place is an impressive modern house in the bones of a Victorian semi. The kitchen is a fantastic, light space, ideal for entertaining. There is also living room seating and an excellent TV and piano as part of the open plan area. The bedrooms are plain but incredibly clean and comfortable. Everything about the place just works. Communication is with an agency, but they were fast and helpful. It’s on a quiet, family street 10 minutes to the station and a short bus ride or 25-minute walk to the centre. Tip to anyone staying - you only need to tap the keypad, not push.

Instant Home
Very nice accommodation. Zahid is an excellent host.

Spacious and modern house with Free Parking
Lovely warm house, with easy instructions before arrival. There were three double bedrooms which were all comfortable. Large kitchen and the garden was enjoyed by the children. The house was great for the family and a short drive to city centre. We enjoyed the local parks. The shower was lovely! The bedroom TV did not work - not an issue for us but just for others who may have expected it. Just not tuned in.

Pretty Cottage in Charming Peaceful Village
Loved staying here. It was a beautiful place and perfect for our family of four. Even cooked Christmas dinner in the kitchen there.

Large modern Country House near Cambridge sleep 18
Our group of 16 ladies stayed at Luke's and it was perfect! It had everything we needed to fit/seat/cook/sleep us all comfortably, with beautiful surroundings and the added bonus of a gorgeous hot tub overlooking the fields. Luke was great at answering questions we had in the lead up to our stay and was fast to reply. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. Thank you Luke!

Spacious Victorian Home with Free Parking
We had a lovely one-night stay at this beautiful Victorian house on Lyndewode Road. The location is fantastic—quiet yet very central. The home is spacious, full of charm, and thoughtfully maintained, with elegant details that make it truly special. It’s equipped with superb appliances, and we especially appreciated the collection of books and classic and jazz music CDs—such a cozy, cultured touch. The host was also super helpful and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A truly memorable space—we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely 3 bedroom house with parking near airport
my family recently had the pleasure of staying at Ellen's Airbnb, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I booked, Ellen's communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed, and her warm welcome upon arrival made me feel instantly at home. The accommodation itself was excellent. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully presented, with everything I could possibly need and more. Ellen's attention to detail was evident throughout, and the thoughtful touches truly made my stay special.

Secluded garden house with private patio
Lovely, very well equipped accommodation, with everything of excellent quality. Extremely dog friendly- Sally even provides a sheet to allow fur babies to sleep on the bed which ours does, with easy access to the secure garden. We spent a very comfortable 4 days and would return.
