    Lovely house, very spacious for a large group of people to stay in and had all the amenities needed. Really good location, quiet but very easy to get into the centre of Cambridge as well as a quick drive out to surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

    We really enjoyed our 2 nights at the property. It was spacious and comfortable and also a good location with a short walk to local shops and the bus stop to get into town. Off street parking is handy for multiple cars. Would recommend for families or groups.

    Nice large house in a good peaceful location. Garden was very nice with lots of birds singing and not to far from a park and shop. Easy to find and parking for 4 cars. House could do with abit of love but we really enjoyed our 3 nights and kids loved it. Easy access into Cambridge centre.hosts were friendly and quick to respond.

    The property is good value for the money, location was good since we knew Cambridge well so knew how to get about. The Kitchen range was good for a 6 bed and appreciated. The property was good apart for the low hanging tree at the entrance which we found with the roof of the van we had, The property could use some updating but when it warmed up was perfect for us. On the whole would rent this again.

    The rental company (StayBeyond) that operates this property has extremely strange expectations of what is reasonable to ask of guests and could do with being upfront about this and avoiding giving the impression that you are booking directly with a host. Our booking seemed fine until we had to get in contact with them at the time that our final payment was due as we had received no communication about how to pay. At this point we received a message saying that our booking was not confirmed until we had completed “security checks”. We were required to answer a series of questions about our visit and told that by continuing we were confirming that ALL guests were aged over 28. We were asked to send photos of IDs and selfies of everyone holding up the ID for every adult staying in the property. Eventually (took 11 days of chasing from us) we were able to clarify that the age policy only applied to the person booking the trip (as we had originally expected from the wording in the listing). We provided our IDs despite our reservations about why ID could reasonably be required for all guests. We were provided with a contract that contained alarming clauses such as the home being fitted with noise monitors. Even after we had done this we continued to receive unnecessary, intrusive questions about ourselves that we were told were part of the security checks. For example, having explained that we had a shared hobby of working on a game fansite we were told that we had to provide a link to the website. The night before the trip it became apparent that StayBeyond were not going to provide us the access codes to check in until we answered the questions. The house was generally pretty comfortable and seemed clean but was overall not worth the hassle we had in booking it. It is clearly a rental property rather than a home and could do with some maintenance. A large number of the doors were faulty: the main bathroom door could not not be fully shut and bedroom doors became jammed and could not be opened from the inside when fully closed. Lights in half of the kitchen did not work and lighting is not great in the living room area. We could not use the conservatory as it has no heating and was too cold to sit in. The house was not “fully stocked” as described: there was not enough kitchen equipment for a large group and basic items such as cleaning products, additional toilet paper and foil were not provided.

    A comfortable stay for 10 people even though it’s listed for 11 as the extra guest will have to make up bed on sofa in living room and therefore would get no privacy or sofa could not be used during day unless you have to remake bed every night. Would be better suited to put a sofa bed in gym room?! House looked much better online but on closer inspection needed a little tlc. Mould in bathrooms that you could smell, carpets heavily stained and worn, table in kitchen damaged, grass in garden needed mowing, plug sockets in rooms loose therefore a hazard especially with young children. House was set in a good location but you would not want to walk into town centre as stated online! Far too long! All in all a pleasant family break away.

    Really spacious and clean AirBnB. Great place to stay with 4+ people with the variety of rooms and extra bathrooms as well. Good location, near to the city centre but just out enough so it’s a little more quiet and you can grab a bus/taxi in. There is a very sweet black cat that seems to visit the garden from time to time too :)

  15. Queen Ediths Place

    Positive: Configuration suited our multi generational family group. Not being a family home meant there was nothing attractive to an inquisitive 20 month old. Situated close to transport links into Cambridhge city centre. Negative: There was no information related to the facilities in the house, the local area or for in the event of an emergency. The was no access to terrestrial TV. The house did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival.

More cutlery Ie enough crockery & cutlery for the 11 people we had staying! 6 bedrooms means 12 people Normal TV - we couldn’t work the one there.

  17. Convenient very large and warm property. A little tired looking but for the price good value. Hope to return next year

    Positive: Location perfect and very easy to catch a bus into Cambridge Negative: Had a real issue with the internet not working for two days. Which meant no tv. We could have coped but there is also very poor mobile signal in the house or garden, a couple of us needed to be in contact with family or work. When trying to contact the company that care for the property I was deliberately cut off twice. Phones going to foreign handlers. Eventually someone helped but booked an engineer for Monday afternoon. We were there Friday to Monday. I tried to explain we wouldn’t be there as will have checked out. To no avail. Also carpets very grubby. Tried to hide with rugs. Lots of dirt under sofas and edges in the conservatory

  20. Disappointing.

    Positive: Very good situation. A very nice, large home suitable for a family stay. On first inspection nice bedrooms and comfortable sofa and dining area. Negative: This property is not properly maintained and as such left me with concerns for safety. Lovely big garden but totally wild (knee high grass and brambles scratching car on entry) broken garden furniture. All the floors/ carpets were so badly stained/marked you could not tell if it was clean or not. Mould in bathrooms and one toilet constantly flushing with a door that didn't close - making this bedroom completely unusable. Boiler looked like a bodge job and no gas safety cert even after requesting it from the management. Smell of overheating wires when bedroom lights left on.

    Hi Leonie, We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. We have since taken immediate action to address these concerns. Our team has thoroughly cleaned and maintained the property, including mowing the garden, replacing broken furniture, and addressing the staining and mold issues. The toilet and door have been repaired, and the boiler has been inspected and certified for safety. We value your feedback and have made these improvements to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for all future guests. Your satisfaction and safety are of utmost importance to us, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future. Best,


  21. Extremely disappointing

    Positive: Location was the only good point Negative: First thing we noticed upon entering was the damp smell. Boiler did not work, so no hot water or heating. phoned for help, no one called back. The owners are based in London, communication was poor & slow. WIFI did not work. There was damp in many places downstairs, watermarks on bedroom ceilings, Questionable electrics in one en suite. Carpets looked disgusting. The house was generally tried & neglected. The photos on booking.com do not reflect the condition of the property. Plus we had to wait over 3 weeks for our deposit to be refunded. We really should have asked for a partial refund. I would have left this review sooner but I already had very little faith we were going to get our deposit back.

    Positive: Lovely spacious house with plenty of room, well-equipped kitchen. Great location, handy for the bus into the city centre. Negative: The house could do with a lick of paint and having the carpets cleaned - it’s fairly worn out in places. Also the garden is a bit overgrown! Tea towels in the kitchen would have been handy, we had to use a bath towel to dry the washing up!

  24. The property is clean , warm, with great kitchen , communal living areas and plenty of beds.

    Positive: Location is excellent for access to Cambridge centre and Folk festival. Good parking. Comfortable with well equipped kitchen, plenty of sitting areas including lovely conservatory, dining area and settees. Beds were comfortable, clean new bed linen and towels. Hot water was plentiful once we found heater controls. Negative: There was no instructions on how turn on hot water. I had to look in every cupboard before I found the controls. Fortunately it is a very similar system to the one I have at home so I was able to use it without any instructions. The internet and the TV didn't work. Again there were no instructions. The decor is very tired (walls, carpets etc) but the curtains are good. The bathrooms/toilets are clean but the plugholes need treating with drain cleaner. One bath plug backed up and one bathroom smelled of drains. A couple of the toilet seats are fitted incorrectly. The property met our requirements but it's quite expensive for what it is, so I will look around for possible alternatives next year.

    Excellent location & a very nice house but could do with a refresh and a few repairs like the damaged wood flooring & water damaged ceilings. Communication with the management company was terrible. The staff were very helpful but their processes and comms were very poor - phone lines not working, very slow replies via Airbnb messages, no direct access to local team so had to go through mgmt company. Early check-in (only by 2 hrs) was initially declined, so we made alternative plans, only to then get green light 2 hrs before check in, which was too late for us by then. This could have been managed better, just like most of the other issues we had. Internet and TV not working for first couple of days was very frustrating as we had two young kids. Numerous calls and attempts to resolve this and we ended up having to ring the internet provider ourselves to troubleshoot with them and resolve the issue. Broken chairs were replaced the next day and other amenities were fine and as described.

  34. Great space and location but quality a bit disappointing.

    Positive: The garden was amazing. The space downstairs. The amount of bedrooms. The location to the bus stop. The double oven was really useful. The easiness of check in. Negative: All but one seats in the kitchen were broken. We left food of the counter and it was cover in ants after 30 minutes. There wasn't enough forks or bowls for the 9 of us. A lot of the plates were chipped. So many stains on the carpet. A lot of the doors don't open and the bunk bed room once closed can't be opened from the inside. The house was great, exactly what we needed, but I guess after paying a £250 deposit I expected the place to be spotless and without anything broken/ruined but I was disappointed about that element.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this place in Cambridge. We were a group of 9 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us! The garden and conservatory in particular were amazing to catch up with all of us. The beds were really comfortable and the home was clean. The kitchen was fully equipped, better then most Airbnb's. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5, is that even though the house is nicely refurbished, you can tell it is old and therefore some things in the house felt a bit outdated such as the ensuite bathrooms. We also weren't able to connect to the Wifi. But other then that, this is an amazing stay that you should definitely consider if you want to stay close to Cambridge in a spacious, nice home.

Negative: We couldn’t get the TV to connect to the internet, we didn’t let the host know at the time but so they didn’t have an opportunity to fix it! Carpets and flooring a little grubby but it’s clearly a rental only and not someone’s home so you can accept that! Bathrooms need refreshing they were clean but in need of a refresh so looked grubby… The decking outside is appalling and extremely dangerous especially in the dark there’s foot sized holes through the rotten wood right outside the doors into the garden No keys for the windows to open them as it was warm!

    Positive: The location was good and the space in the property was ideal for family gatherings. However the condition of the property was terrible. Negative: There was mould in all the bedrooms and bathrooms. The carpets were extensively stained. Door handles were missing, doors wouldn't close, Bathroom drawers were broken. Taps were loose. Many lights didn't work. External drains were flooding the garden. Following complaints a local agent was sent to investigate. He agreed the property was not up to standard and compensation would be forthcoming. Nothing has been received.

  69. Roomy & comfy that looks good on surface but desperately needs maintenance.

    Positive: The location is great; near to town, near to a bus stop and near (ish) to a few supermarkets. It was also very quiet. The house is really big and there are ample bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds are comfortable, there was parking on the property for 3-5 cars and the heating worked well (it was cold outside). The key safe was easy to get into. The main bathroom shower was powerful and hot (the other showers were not). There was a decent amount of furniture and storage. The television and WiFi worked well. The house had clearly been recently cleaned - the bed linens were clean and the surfaces had been wiped down. Some areas could have been attended to however. There was enough toilet roll. Negative: Overall the maintenance and general upkeep of the property is lacking. On arrival the front garden / drive is tatty and there was rubbish perhaps from previous guests dotted around on the ground (and the bins were full). There were weeds growing up from the paving and there were broken solar lights etc. Just generally quite shabby. This continued inside with the main hallway / staircase carpet being very stained, along with the lino in the kitchen. The curtains in the front large bedroom were half hanging off and very difficult to close and open. Many of the door handles were loose or broken. The kettle was absolutely encrusted with limescale. There were no coffee pods for the machine and no tea bags (only old earl grey and camomile). There were no scissors in the property and although having 2 fridge-freezers may be handy for some guests one of them is situated right in a pathway from the kitchen to the small dining table area. The kitchen tap is very loose and wobbles when you turn the faucet lever. We had requested a travel cot and we could not find it anywhere so had to call Stay Beyond who told us to look around in cupboards for it and we eventually found it unopened in a box in the cupboard under the stairs. There were a handful of broken lights in the property and some of the plug outlets in some of the bedrooms did not work. The patio doors from the living area to the conservatory couldn't be closed properly. There were no coasters available and all tables / surfaces were white and prone to staining! There were no cloths at all so we had to buy some in order to wipe down the kitchen after use. One of the oven dials was broken (on the right hand side) and it was hard to tell whether it was on or off. As it was winter we didn't use the garden but as other reviewers have mentioned the decking is very slippery and broken and unsafe (and installed inadequately - it doesn't seem to have a foundation, just straight on top of lawn).

  70. The Queen Edith Place Cambridge

    Positive: Amazing space, cannot fault this. Beautiful location. The property is amazing and I will book this again as the price was very good for our stay duration. Loved the big cooker, although I didnt get a chance to use it. The layout is also amazing. Negative: The property needs abit of TLC. The front garden and rear needed maintenance. Looks like it hasn't been done for some time. The internal decor needs updating. Couple of the furniture was worn out. One of the ensuite has had a bad tiling job done, even the vynl flooring was loose. Experienced a number of bits, you need pest control out.

    Positive: That we had a large living space to Sit together Negative: That curtains didn’t close properly, stains all over carpet, broken kitchen equipment, windows didn’t close, mould around windows, couldn’t open bedroom door so people actually got stuck in, no locks on bathroom …. The list goes on!

  73. A tired, ill-equipped property with some excellent family spaces

    Positive: The property has some lovely spaces. The conservatory is spacious and light. This was a family gathering and these spaces were ideal for us to enjoy time together. The beds were really comfortable and linen provided was fine. Negative: The property is a little tired in places e.g. stained carpets and weeds in the front garden. It also lacks certain basics such as hanging space and mirrors. We were staying for a wedding so these things were of importance for us. A mirror in each bedroom and hangers over each bedroom door would simply but dramatically improve what's currently on offer. There were also things like sink plugs missing! C'mon! And the broken, tiny ironing board! These things are very easy to put right. Loo roll was minimally provided and we had to buy more and considering we were out for much of the time that seemed a bit unreasonable having been advertised as provided.

  76. We had a fab time in this lovely space - will definitely come again if they fix a few vital things

    Positive: Lovely large house, very suitable for 9 people - spacious, light conservatory for use as a main sitting room, decent sized bedrooms, several en suite bathrooms, decent sized double cooker for a large group, 2 full size fridge freezers and well crockery and kitchen wear. Painted white throughout giving a clean, modern, fresh feeling. Nice modern decor. Close to Cambridge - we got taxis to and from the city but buses would have been fine too. Negative: Some things need sorting out - other people have complained but still not resolved eg Wifi MUST be upgraded (we missed some important football matches due to this), outside wooden patio is dangerous (slippery and broken) and needs replacing, door handle on bunk bed bedroom wont open from inside (so locked in), no hooks for hanging anything in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Beware of the neighbours - they complained about the noise at 22:15 on a Friday. Luckily we were all in bed by 22:30 each night. Not suitable for a large group wanting to party and stay up till late - this is a quiet residential street which was fine for our 1 family group.

  79. I will never book this property again, and I will never book through the Company called Stay Beyond

    Positive: Spacious property. Justin at Staybeyond was the only member of staff that provided consistency in communication and updates on issues. Thank you Justin. Negative: Arriving at the property and being asked to delay arrival due to long-term tenants moving out. Tenants turning up to the property asking to pick-up mail and parcels. The property was filthy, with pet hair all over the house. Washing machine broken; grass not cut, weeds everywhere; cigarette butts and lager bottles in the plant pots; outdoor chairs broken and outdoor deck slippy; washing line broken; carpets filthy; door handles broken leaving people locked in bedrooms for 15 minutes; rear of sofas filthy; dog excriment all over the front and back lawns (25 amounts that we had to remove); window key broken and, therefore couldn't open some windows; fridge filthy; toilet filthy.... having to chase the refund of our security deposit and compensation...I could go on! Cleaning company are appalling, and the staff in charge of making checks and ensuring key issues are resolved at the property should be sacked.

    I stayed at Annick's place with some friends for our annual meeting.

    I stayed here with a group of 8 friends for two nights. We had a great time. Annick's house is lovely and very well equipped. There's a lot of space in the house, definitely space for all of our group. The garden looked very spacious but we didn't venture out there given the freezing weather. The check in/out was very easy and Annick was quick to respond to any questions I had before the trip. The only one negative is that the water pressure is not very good and we also ran out of hot water after 5 of us had showers one morning. If this could be addressed then I really wouldn't be able to find a fault.

    The location is perfect for exploring Cambridge, the house and garden could do with a little TLC, however the bedrooms were very clean, there seems to be a resident cat, which could cause problems for those with allergies.

    I’ll keep it short and sweet. I was taught if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all, So I’ll just state the facts. We arrived to unmade beds (left from the guests from the night before) & the house had not been cleaned. The host didn’t do anything about it until the next day! I spoke to Annick & she was more focused on informing me that this hadn’t happened before, rather than jumping through hoops to apologise. I’d expected that Annick would a the very least refund this first night & after a long conversation we agreed she’d call me back. The call never came & I just received a notification from air bnb saying the host had refunded £30! Our booking was over £700! I found this very condescending & rather unreasonable. It was NOT a good stay. I fully appreciate things don’t always go to plan being a host myself but the stay was far from satisfactory.

    StayBeyond - October 2017

    Hi John Of course I am very sorry about the issue that occurred during your stay, although I am quite saddened by these comments. My local host Alex and myself apologised profusely at the time and Alex offered to send the cleaners there on the night, which you refused. She also sent them back in the morning as soon as you left to clean top to bottom and left a bottle of wine and chocolates for you and your guests. I also think it is a bit unfair to point out that you paid £700, this was of course across 4 days and 5 people. I also did not want to mention this due to the issue upon your arrival, but all the towels that were used during your stay are now unusable due to being covered in paint from you and your workman. I never once believed that you were making any issue up hence the reason I did try to rectify them during your stay and I apologise if you do not think that the responses gave were satisfactory. Good luck with your future bookings, take care.

    Had a lovely time in Cambridge with a total of 8 adults and 3 children. House perhaps a little tired but lots of space and light. Toddlers loved the garden. Perhaps in response to the earlier review we had plenty of baking sheets, utensils etc. We still came prepared but my friend who did the bulk of the cooking was impressed and enjoyed using the kitchen. Good traffic links for park and ride.

    This was a perfect working space for us, near ARM, with lots of space and good Internet. The kitchen is spacious, and we were able to cook for 8 people, easily. Check-in was via a key-safe which made it very convenient. There were a couple of maintenance niggles: The corner bathroom upstairs doesn't get good hot water pressure, and some doors don't close properly.

    Great location. Beautiful house. It has five bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen with a dining area, an exercise room, and three bathrooms. It has also a glass room that allow the sun shine to come through from every direction. We like so much. There also a nice huge garden at the back. The WiFi is very fast. The house is so clean. The kitchen is well equipped. There is space at the front to park up to five cars. The neighborhood is so quite. The communication with Annick was great. She was available around the clock to respond to our enquiries. She also made the check in and check out so smooth. Very friendly lady. We have enjoyed everything in this house. Strongly recommend and we will definitely come back.

    The house itself was a nice space, and clean. Annick was very communicative and arranged for a late checkout, even though there was a group arriving later that day, which we appreciated. Check in was easy (although the house was a little tricky to find), there's lots of parking, and the WiFi was indeed good. However, there were a number of issues throughout our stay. Some of the curtains were falling down, one shower only worked intermittently, the other two were not very powerful at all. Some of the doors didn't close. The downstairs bedroom was very cold. A couple of the beds were pretty uncomfortable. Only one of the baths had a plug. The travel cot we requested was not there when we arrived. The floors were so slippery that three of us fell down the stairs and all of the kids slipped over several times! But the main problem was that the kitchen was sorely underequipped for the size of the house. We had to call several times to request various things which you would expect to be there (eg wooden spoons or spatulas, baking trays, large saucepans) and there was only just about enough cutlery and crockery for our group of 8 adults and 4 small children/babies. Most of the things we requested were brought round or fixed fairly quickly, but they weren't there when we needed them, and we got a bit fed up of having to ask. Also would have been nice to have some information about the local area - transport, local shops, things to do etc. With a bit more thought, this could be a lovely place to stay but overall we ended up feeling a little disappointed.

    Thank you for your feedback Catherine, it is very much appreciated and I have already put it to use and rectified the issues, or have begun the process to do so. I also would have hoped that the handy phone would have been more use to you as that gives you all the info for the local area. I am sorry that you were left feeling a little disappointed however and I hope that you may consider staying again sometime. Thanks again for the feedback, take care.

    We have been very happy with the place. You have had everything needed for us to be comfortable and enjoy our stay at the house. 2 families of 10 people in total stayed for 3 days and everybody was very happy about how much light and plently of space there was. Small details added extra value to the place and all in all everything was better than we expected! Thank you again and hope to get another ocassion where we could stay at that amazing house.

    A beautifully furnished, and amazingly clean, home set up with everything you could possibly need. We booked as part of a weekend away with another family and the house was perfectly set up for so many adults and children - with cots, bunk beds and a huge garden for the children to tire themselves out in. Only a short drive from Cambridge city center, I'd recommend the home to anyone looking for a larger home from which to explore this beautiful city.
