Room for three was pretty nice, though the bathroom door was slightly ajar and couldn’t be fully closed. Breakfast was decently priced with the option to have your coffee refilled for free. Overall nice location, nice stay.

Lovely little hotel that has the ambiance of being in a small town (nice and cosy) while actually being 10min away walking distance from the centre of Cambridge! We went in late June 2021 so football was on too. Rooms are tucked in so you don’t hear cars from the main road, whereas the pub downstairs overlooks that main road. Don’t expect 4 or 5 star room but for the price and location it is absolute value for money! The bed was big and the room clean; there was a flat tv and all classic amenities for a standard double bed room. The food in the pub was good quality for the price we paid and the cooked breakfast was also of good standard. Would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Cambridge and stay in a traditional English pub/hotel.

Good pint of Guinness and a great location for a pre/post gig pint if you’re using The Junction, or if you’re going to the railway station. Good atmosphere nice decor. They have bedrooms rooms too.
Staff were really friendly & helpful and asked if we had any suggestions for the playlist on their jukebox. Maybe I was they only one they asked but it was great to hear The Clash, Damned and 999 in a modern pub (don’t let that put you off I won’t be there when you are!) 😂

Only came here for food. But based on the food alone I won't return. Place is friendly enough. And had a relaxed atmosphere. But food was poor.
Only 2 beef dinners left at 1.35pm , so went for burgers. Not very nice.

Considering the very reasonable price it costs to stay at the Earl of Derby, it's very good value. The position of this property is also great. Just a few minutes walk from the railway station, and numerous coffee bars and fast food restaurants, it's an ideal location. Also just a short walk to the leisure park with it's good selection of eateries and The Junction live music venue. The pub itself offers a warm welcome and a good menu choice. It is a fair distance from the actual city centre, but for the less active or fit person, there is the option to catch a bus from the main transport hub at the railway station.

Stayed Sunday night...room was so warm and toasty on the coldest winter night so far this year!
Room and ensuite spotless. Super king size bed was so comfy.
Staff were very very friendly.
We will definitely return

Didnt stay but visited for drinks and watch the world cup, a nice friendly place with plenty of screens and seating. A good classic pub with reasonable prices. Happily return for more.
