The Stay in Cambridge Journal

The Stay in Cambridge Journal is where we share the local knowledge, practical guidance and thoughtful recommendations that make a stay in Cambridge easier and more enjoyable.

As homeowners and regular travellers ourselves, we know that the difference between a good stay and a great one is rarely the obvious headline attractions. It’s knowing where to eat when you don’t want to queue, how to get around without wasting time, which neighbourhoods feel right for walking, and what to do when you want something a little quieter than the main tourist trail.

This Journal is designed to help with exactly that.

You’ll find articles covering places to eat and drink, local walks, seasonal highlights, practical tips for longer stays, and recommendations that suit guests who value quality, calm and consistency. Some posts are written with visiting academics and professionals in mind, others with families or dog owners, but all are rooted in the same aim: helping you experience Cambridge in a way that feels relaxed and well-informed.

You’ll also find guidance that Airbnb listings rarely have room for. Things like what to expect at different times of year, how Cambridge changes between term time and holidays, and how to plan your days if you’re here for more than a weekend. If you’re staying for several weeks or months, these details matter.

Our hope is that the Journal helps you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your stay.
