One of the most beautiful houses we’ve seen, each room is more gorgeous than the other. Great location for Cambridge, close to the shops and many pubs and cafes of central Cambridge, totally quiet and green. Very well equipped, beds and bathroom are superb, we will defiantly comeback!

Positive: Really lovely and well decorated place. The house and beds were comfortable. Kitchen and living spaces had everything you needed. The area was lovely with the front door opening right onto the commons which was great for a walk and to visit the roaming cows. Negative: The book process was long winded and extensive, I had to send photos of all people staying with their passports, plus a deposit was needed to be given with an external site which takes up to 14 days for them to release! There seemed to be a water leak in the kitchen cupboard as there was a strong mildew smell.

Disappointing
Positive: No comment Negative: Car parking was extremely difficult and limited and. not as implied on booking.com - allocated parking space was actually just general parking in parking bays with permit - rubbish skip taking one space and all others full. Double yellow lines opposite accommodation entrance and when unpacking car had to pacify traffic warden. Nearest (not near) public paying car park was closed on our arrival day.

GOODS POINTS This a a lovely house in a great location. 5min walk to shops and 10min walk into the heart of Cambridge. It is peaceful and quiet with a nice outlook across Midsummer Common. It is modern inside with an overall clean and spacious feel about the place. MINOR QUIBBLE The bathroom door does not lock. The shower head in the bathroom is fixed too long and soaks the bathroom floor. The thermostatic radiator valve in the front bedroom is not working so the radiator can not be turned off which made it too hot at night. No dish cloths or tea towels. There was what looked a blood stain on one of the duvet covers. Over half the herbs and spices in the cupboard were two to three years out of date. NOT SO GOOD POINT Our parking permit ran out of spaces on the second day. Every day we asked Gaby (Stay Beyond agency) for a new one. They did not issue a new permit; just apologised and kept saying they would look into it. We were lucky not to get a parking fine. A little stressful.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The house was stunning. The kitchen was beautiful and very well equipped, we had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was dreamy! The house was in the middle of the Midsummer common so the views were stunning, it was also around 5 minutes away from the city centre. We requested a parking permit and it was ready for us when we came, we also didn't have any problems with finding parking space.

Nice house. Very complicated registration process.
Positive: It's a lovely house. Easy self-check-in. Nice host. Negative: 1. registration process. All adults need to send a photo of themselves handing in their documents. 2. You must pay a guarantee of ±70% of the staying budget. 3. Each room in another flow. Not relevant for small kids / old members.

Gaby’s place provided us with nights of great restful sleep. The location was really good to explore Cambridge, centrally located. The house was very well stocked and we appreciated the thoughtful design that was apparent through the entire space. Bathroom was huge and water pressure was good too. We enjoyed very much our stay in Gaby’s place.

Very well furnished and equipped house with 2 double bedrooms and good kitchen living area. In very good location next to green space and also 10 minutes walk from city centre.

Positive: No comment Negative: Location was good but parking is a problem. I was being confronted by an elderly neighbor for parking on doubleyellow line outside his home. Luckily, he accepted by reasons that all designated parking lots were occupied, some by non permit holder. Thankfully, I managed to park in a designated lot later in the night.

Great location to see Cambridge, everything is within walking distance. The house is very clean and well looked after. The beds are very comfortable, the sofa beds could do with being more comfortable for anyone who would be sleeping on those. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Slight issue with the bathroom door not locking and having no door on the shower isn’t ideal as water gets absolutely everywhere! Overall the stay was amazing, responsive hosts and I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to explore Cambridge.

toll ausgestattetes ruhiges Haus, in Zentrumsnähe
Positive: Tolles gemütliches Haus mit einer großen hellen Küche, ein SZ ebenerdig zum Park, zweites SZ in oberer Etage, Wohnzimmer mit schönem Parkblick wie im Objektfoto zu sehen. Großes Bad mit Wanne und Dusche. Mini-Sitzecke im kleinen Hof vor der Küche, ruhige Lage fußläufig vom Zentrum entfernt, Ein Permit (Parkberechtigung für das Auto auf der engen Anliegerstraße tagsüber) liegt -bei Angabe zur Buchung- im Haus und muß nur ausgefüllt werden. Negative: Man sollte einen Parkplatz in der Nähe suchen und stehen bleiben. Es erfolgt nach Buchung ein mehrfacher e-Mailkontakt mit einer Verwaltungsfirma (StayBeyond - London) bzgl. Auskünften zu Reisegründen, persönlichen Daten und Fotos aller Mitreisenden zzgl. Kopien von allen von je einem Ausweisdokument (Ausweis/ Pass/ FS/ Krankenkassenkarte o.ä.). Zuletzt ist die Eingabe eine Kreditkarte für den Einzug einer Kaution 300 GBP durch die Verwaltungsfirma erforderlich. - Erst danach wird ein ewig langer Mietvertrag und der Schlüsselcode zugesendet. Meine Kaution ist 3 Wochen nach dem Check-out noch nicht zurück.

A dream house. Beautiful space, decor, and location overlooking midsummer common. Amenities included everything we needed. Easy check in, clear communication, easy on-street parking with permit provided. Peaceful neighbourhood. Everything with within walking distance. We had a fantastic time living like a local. Very nice waking up with the sunrise throught the huge sash windows and seeing cows on the common.

A beautiful house in an excellent position over looking Midsummer Common. An easy walk into Cambridge and to the river. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by a fault with the electricity. We had no lighting ,or cooking facilities or the ability to charge the phone. Communication with host was difficult when we needed help.

Lovely house in a fantastic location in Cambridge, quiet and scenic yet also very close to the city centre and the Backs. The on-street permit parking was also very helpful for us. The house was tastefully decorated and very clean. There was a good range of cooking equipment and nice to have a few staples such as oil and herbs in the cupboard. The shower was good but the shower screen design made it hard not to flood the bathroom. The beds were soft and comfortable but the duvets very thick for a warm weekend in July. There were a few minor issues such as the WiFi network we were given details for not being discoverable, the two thermostats being set very high on arrival (24C during the day) making the house hard to cool down and the Alexa-controlled mood lighting not working. The house instructions/appliance details we were sent did not seem to match the house which may have been the underlying issue. Overall a very good stay, thanks to Gaby and the management team.

Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood. Home as described and incredibly clean. I didn't realize there was no AC ( I know this is typical for Europe), and there was no fan available that I knew about, so it was hot during our stay (so just FYI if you are staying in the summer months). Otherwise, wonderful stay and I wish we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was just gorgeous and well stocked with amenities.

Hi Riaz, thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We have updated our pre-arrival processes to make sure such confusion will never happen again, and we have added the wifi details to our welcome letter. We have also addressed the heating issue so the property is ready for next winter.

We stayed at Gaby's place in Cambridge in late May, and it was lovely. It was perfect for what we needed, a short few days in Cambridge, close to the center city but not directly in the hustle and bustle of the town. The front of the house faces the water and open green, which was very pleasant in the mornings. We found the place comfortable and inviting and would stay here again. The kitchen and bathroom were spacious, modern, and big enough for our family of five. The entire house worked well for us (with two of our youngest sleeping on the pull-out couches in the upstairs tv room). Thanks again.

Saubere, perfekt funktionsfähige ruhige Wohnung in sehr schöner und zentraler Lage in Cambridge.
Positive: Die Lage war sehr ruhig an einem Common nahe dem Cam. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, alles hat funktioniert, die Bettdecken (Doppelbetten mit jeweils einer Decke) waren groß genug. Die Wohnung ist ein guter Startpunkt für Besichtigungen zu Fuß oder Spaziergänge oder Sport entlag des Cam. An einer nahgelegenen Bushaltestelle fährt ein Bus in wenigen Minuten zum Bahnhof. Für Gäste mit PkW steht eine Parkvignette zur Verfügung. Die Küche ist vollständig eingerichtet, das Bad groß und funktionstüchtig. Negative: Wie bereits häufig geschrieben, war es unangenehm, im Vorfeld wie ein (potentieller) Straftäter den eigenen Ausweis und sich selbst samt Ausweis photographieren und der Agency schicken zu müssen. Wenn man im Land des Datenschutzes (Deutschland) wohnt, kostet das Überwindung. Der Mietvertrag kann in seinem Umfang mit einem Reiseführer mithalten. Beides ist mglw. das Ergebnis schlechter Erfahrungen. Einmal erledigt und die Kröte geschluckt, war dieser Vorgang dann rasch vergessen. Die beiden Alexas kann man ausstecken... Zum Thema Kaution kann ich noch nichts sagen, da wir diese noch nicht zurückerhalten haben.

My family had a wonderful stay at Gaby’s house when visiting for my graduation. The location is extremely central right at the Midsummer Commons and the interior of the place is picked with great taste. We loved the large bright kitchen for having breakfast aber the rooms were super cosy. Would come again any time!

Damage deposit not returned by Staybeyond.com for weeks. Shame because the house is great
Positive: Great location and easy access. Very well appointed house, comfy beds, everything you need is here. A great stay. Negative: Booking via Staybeyond.com not the owner or Booking.com, they took a £300 damage deposit which has STILL NOT BEEN RETURNED weeks later I have had to chase them to return the deposit-there were no issues with our one night stay, but the staybeyond team haven't returned the deposit. I had to call and chase and they said their finance team would process immediately, due to this I would not book any property through them again. I would much rather deal with Booking,com or another, reputable agent. Shame because the property is excellent, newly refurbished and in a fantastic location, its a top quality rental and clearly well maintained and looked after by the owner.

Gaby’s house is a tastefully renovated, spotlessly clean, Georgian terrace with everything you need for a comfortable stay and within walking distance to the centre of Cambridge so a car isn’t really required. We loved the view over Midsummer Common and admiring the sunset from the upstairs living room. Wine and chocolates were much appreciated!

wonderful stay in a bright airy and character property with great attention to detail and amenities
Positive: the property was secluded and quiet with a lovely front view of christs piece. the furnishings were of exceptionally high standard and the property was immaculate with everything working. the attention to detail was great with a full compliment of cutlery, wonderful power shower and comfortable bed. the welcome bottle of wine was of a really good standard and immensely drinkable. the washing machine had tablets available to use and the location was great for town and school. Negative: although the property is advertised with parking and a parking permit was made available throughout the stay there were no spaces on the road during any time of day and so was unusable. Alrernative paid parking had to be sought creating extra expense and hassle.

The house is quirky but a superb location. You need to read all the instructions to follow how to turn off/off lights controlled by Alexa. The central heating is also a bit inconsistent with some rooms being super warm and others like the TV lounge being quite chilly. The house is looked after by an agency who are a little inpatient and not overly courteous but son lives nearby and and super helpful.
January 2023StayBeyond - February 2023
Thank Amanda for staying with us. Yes, there are two thermostats in the house - one for the kitchen and a Nest one for the other rooms, so good to look at each (on the kitchen and hallway walls, respectively). Mood lighting colour and intensity can be controlled by giving Alexa voice commands, or, if you'd rather not bother, by saying once "Alexa, turn the lights off". There are also plenty of lights that work on normal switches to make the rooms bright. We are glad that Nic, who lives around the corner, was able to answer your questions. We are looking forward to your next visit!

Don’t stay here.
Positive: Nothing Negative: We were denied access due to the nazi like attitude of the StayBeyond booking agent- not Booking.com at all. She was in a call centre not in the UK, and had no appreciation that Southern England was covered in snow and most accommodation was shut down, as well as airports. We had booked last minute to just get something safe and dry, but she denied us entry, so we had to drive 3 hours further, asking at random hotels, before we found a room. We are still arguing about a refund. The security process is a joke. I had been asked for less ID for a mortgage, and it was impossible to meet the demands with both their lack of information supplied- no way to pay the bond- and no internet access. Avoid StayBeyond at all costs and Booking.com, you should be blocking them from your site 🤬🤬🤬

It’s still a pleasant stay in this house, with friendly neighbours too.
Positive: A clean and cute house. good location, very friendly owner. the bed is soft yet firm, haha, one of the best bed we tried besides the stars hotels. Negative: 1. it’s not the owner’s fault, but Google map did show the wrong location, which caused a small problem. 2. couldn’t locate hair dryer, maybe I didn’t search throughly. 3. the ambience light couldn’t be turned off in one of the bedrooms, so my kid needed to wear eyeshade for the whole night.

Charming property, beautifully decorated and worth the money. We will be back for sure
Positive: Property was really lovely, beds very comfortable, cleanliness throughout was very good, kitchen was very well equipped.the property has loads of character and great location for shops, restaurants and river. Negative: Parking was a bit of a pain as we were not sure where the Brunswick areas of parking were until we saw a traffic warden to ask. He explained the parking signs on the roads have to say Brunswick and that is where you can then park.We also had two cars and the permit was only for one, however, NIck , the owners son was very helpful and even met us one evening to provide assistance. This really is a charming property though and once you familiarise yourself re the parking and surrounding area it really is fine. We parked outside, dropped off the luggage and then found a parking space.

Beautiful accommodation and location, onerous property management booking process
Positive: The accommodation was superb - finished to a really high standard, very comfortable with plenty of facilities for guests. The location overlooking the common was also lovely. Our favourite holiday let. Negative: The managing company arrangements were very onerous. I had to chase them for check-in details, despite filling out a supplementary form at booking and being told we'd get arrival details 48 hours before. When I chased them, we then had to send proof of ID, alongside selfies and pay a £300 refundable damage deposit. A stressful experience so close to departure, and I had to chase for the damage deposit to be returned. The managing company responded promptly and helpfully to any enquiries, but the bureaucracy for such a short stay was excessive. Would give me pause to stay again at an otherwise lovely property.
September 2022 - Lauren C. (United Kingdom)
Fabulous stay!
Positive: Beautiful property, tastefully decorated. We were really surprised how large the place was- we were expecting an apartment but actually it was the whole house. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we could need. The courtyard was lovely to sit out in during the evening. However the views and location were utterly outstanding- wonderful views across the common which is literally in the doorstep. Overall and incredible stay and we would definitely return. Value for money was superb. Negative: The only issue was that the property was let and managed by StayBeyond rather than Booking.com. StayBeyond required a very high level of ID verification which added quite a lot of admin to the booking process. Other than this the stay was fantastic.

Great house fab location
Positive: Location was excellent, just a short walk into town either through the park or along the river. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable and super stylish. Well equipped kitchen, toiletries and fresh towels provided, and a nice welcome extra box of chocolates were a favourite with the children. A great place to stay with kids and would definitely go again. Negative: As we booked last minute there wasn't enough time to get the parking organised. So we only had two days instead of three.

Positive: Stunning location , beautiful house Negative: Booking.com sent many emails the day before our stay asking for information about who was staying etc along with pictures of driving licences & us holding the id’s & wanting money for a damage deposit, yet they didn’t send me a key code, have bedding out ready for the 5th guest & nor was there a parking permit. It seemed very one sided. Then without a permit, we spent over an hr trying to find parking , which was not easy in Cambridge & ate into our holiday. It is very disappointing being greeted with all those issues after we had spent time before requesting these things. The house itself was amazing & after sorting out the issues ourselves, we did have an extremely nice stay & would definitely recommend this beautiful house.

Positive: Location. Style Negative: Bedrooms would benefit from fans at night as was very warm and unable to leave ground floor windows open overnight. No dishwasher. Otherwise a beautiful property.

Perfect, comfortable, character cottage in brilliant location
Positive: Wonderful location overlooking the common but within 2 minutes walk of local shops and 15 minutes to historic city centre. Beautiful cottage, full of character, with everything you could need. We used as a base to explore the city, university colleges and riverside by foot. The host was very friendly and looked after us during our stay. We would highly recommend. Negative: Whilst the cottage itself was absolutely perfect, my only negative was the two week wait for the return of our £300 security deposit (returned in full as we left the cottage in clean and undamaged condition, of course). To be fair, this timing is stated in the booking conditions, but seems a little slow to me, when a property inspection is carried out on the day of departure. This is down to the sub-letting agents, and not the owner, of course.

Amazing location. Very stylish interior.
Positive: Beautiful house. Stylish decor. Pretty location right on the Common. Comfy beds. Quiet. Negative: The fridge was very noisy and we couldn’t work out how to change it. I’m sure owners will fix that though!

Fabulous accommodation in beautiful location within a short walk to town and river.
Positive: Fabulous location and superb house which was very clean and beautifully decorated. Negative: Shower screen , a lot of water over floor when showering but this is just a slight flaw but otherwise bathroom and other facilities fine. Was a little worried about parking but got straight parked up almost opposite and just around the corner the following day. You so not need to move car as everything within walking distance.

lovely property on the common!
Positive: Lovely property. This was our second stay. Negative: Small bedside tables and lamps by the bed would very much improve comfort of visit.

Perfect house in a perfect location.
Positive: Stunning location with views over the common, beautiful house, tastefully decorated, lovely and warm. Small but the way it was designed made it feel spacious. Felt like home from home but with hotel luxuries. Really comfy mattresses, quality bedding, towels etc. Very quiet neighbourhood but with lovely walks along the river on your doorstep and the town centre a stone’s through away. We had to contact host about WiFi and he was really quick to respond and sort it out. We hired the electric scooters through Voi which were fun and there is a pick up spot really near the house. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Negative: Nothing to criticise really. Just a tip for other travellers, if you are using the sofabed there are legs zipped inside, underneath. We learned this the hard way as the first night the bed tipped over in the night 😱😂 also we ran out of teaspoons a lot, so worth bringing some spares. WiFi was a bit weak, barely a signal in the kitchen at times, but 4G was really good at the property so not too much of a problem for us.

Exceeds expectations - absolutely beautiful house in stunning location
Positive: The house absolutely exceeded expectations, its was beautiful decorated and very comfortable and luxurious. The hosta left us towels, toiletries and even some chocolates! Genuinely didn't want to leave and would recommend to everyone, and the host was very thoughtful and helpful, plus it was right off the park. Easily 5 stars! Negative: Nothing, loved it all!

Good location for all Cambridge sights. Recommend it for adults or couples
Positive: Great location, lovely home. Negative: No internet for last day and a half but I would think a problem with Virgin rather than a regular occurrence

Great accommodation in a central location. Clean and well furnished, it was a real home from home.
Positive: Great accommodation in a central location. Clean and well furnished, it was a real home from home. We'd certainly like to stay again. Negative: Finding an on-street parking space was a bit tricky

Magnifique séjour à Cambridge
Positive: Prestations de qualité, petite maison typiquement anglaise rénovée avec goût. Espace suffisant pour se sentir bien entre 2 visites dans Cambridge et ses environs. Emplacement idéal devant Midsummer commons. Quartier très calme avec la possibilité de se garer à proximite. Negative: Rien

Excellent property, clean, spacious, quiet and well positioned.
Positive: The property itself was brilliant. Excellent location. Extremely clean. Lovely rooms all large in size. Very comfy beds. Very quiet. Beautiful kitchen with everything you could possibly need with lovely filter coffee and chocolates on arrival. Lovely bathroom supplied with plenty of toiletries and towels. Instructions for arrival very clear. Couldn't fault it. Feels really luxurious and modern. Would highly recommend. Negative: The booking process was very cumbersome as you didn't just deal with booking.com you had to liaise with Staybeyond as well. Never had to send so much personal information just to confirm booking...selfie photos, photo ID and address. Anyone would think I was trying to get into MI6! Also I didn't get my deposit back with the 14 days and had to chase which was disappointing and an inconvenience.
