Reviews
A wonderful hidden gem in the heart of Cambridge. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of Cambridge once you step inside. Don't miss the Arts and Crafts interiors on your way out.
Visited with my partner and we both agreed: truly wonderful. The Arts and Crafts interiors is extraordinary. Would happily visit again.
If you're visiting Cambridge, don't miss this. The setting — urban — gives it an almost magical feel. The museum shop is also worth a browse.
