Mary was a wonderful host with a beautiful home. We had some wonderful chats, and she made me feel very welcome during my time. Would definitely come again and try her home grown mint tea!

Thanks Dave and thank you for the chocolates - very appreciated.
I had a lovely stay at Mary’s. It’s a great house and room and although I didn’t meet Mary as she was called away, her communication was excellent, so I always felt I could reach her if I needed to. It was great to be so central to enjoy Cambridge and only a short walk to the Arts Theatre through a lovely park. I’d definitely stay there again next time I’m working in Cambridge and look forward to meeting Mary next time :)
23rd Apr 2026
Thank you Emma you’re welcome anytime and thanks for taking such good care of the house and for stripping the bed too🙏. I look forward to meeting you one day !
Mary was so accommodating and welcoming - her home is beautiful and brilliantly located to get into the centre of Cambridge and to the theatre. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!

Matthew,
It was a pleasure to have you staying here. Hope you are having a well earned break now.
Best wishes
Mary
Good place for central Cambridge & less than 10 min walk to The Arts Theatre. Local Shopping Centre with Deluna Cafe (nice breakfast).. also Savino's Cafe on route to The Arts is good for a quick brunch & nice coffee. Mary is very helpful!
15th Mar 2026
Lovely room in a beautiful house a short walk from the theatre. Mary was so welcoming, I’d highly recommend to anyone!
25th Nov 2024
Mary is the perfect host.
She goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort and a sense of home away from home. The room itself is extremely clean and cosy. Mary is there to help you with anything you need and gives you space too to cook etc when you need it. Would absolutely stay again! Location is also fantastic for the theatre. I was back between shows on double show days.
22nd Nov 2024
Thank you Iniki

17th Nov 2024
It was great to meet and host you Rosalind. A very perfect guest ! Very good luck with the future acting, Happy Christmas and I hope our paths will cross again.
Mary
If I could give 6 stars I would. Mary went above and beyond to make me feel at home. I enjoyed both our lovely chats and the safe haven of my cosy room. I would love to return when I'm next Cambridge way. Thank you also looking out for me when I was feeling a little poorly.
14th Nov 2024
Another relaxing and comfortable stay - my favourite digs
16th Sep 2024

2nd Jul 2024
Thank you April. You're welcome anytime. Great to meet you, enjoy the rest of the show and have a great summer.
Mary
Lovely house on a great location, just a few minutes walk (8) from Cambridge arts. Very clean, stunning house with a beautiful garden. Mary is a wonderful person, more than happy to help and assist. I couldn´t asked for a better host and a better place to stay on. I 110& will stay again and I do hope to see Mary again. Unfortunately I can only put 5 stars!
8th Jun 2024
Mary was a wonderful host who made me feel so welcome, would always chat to me and give me some great food recommendations! The digs are nice and close to the Arts Theatre and the bed was really comfortable, lovely shower which was the perfect height for my 6ft8 self.
29th May 2024
Everything was great with this stay!
Mary was welcoming and warm, we had some lovely chats.
Also an amazing location for the price! A very easy and pretty walk through parks into town/theatre as well as very easy walks to the river and other parts of Oxford.
Thank you Mary!
I will definitely stay here again if touring to Oxford!
24th May 2024
My week at Mary’s was superb! Mary is a wonderful host, she is so generous and kind. The house is stunning and the room is cosy, I had everything I needed. The house has easy access to the town (10-12 minutes to CAT) whilst being away enough for a great nights sleep. Mary also knows all the great spots that’ll make your stay even better. I won’t hesitate to contact Mary next time I’m working in Cambridge, thanks for everything!
16th Apr 2024
I loved having you to stay Ayesha. Please come and stay again - you brought extra rays of sunshine into my house. I very much hope our paths will cross again soon - maybe in a pasta restaurant somewhere in London!
Had the most amazing time in Cambridge. Mary was a very gracious host in a wonderfully cosy home. A short 10 minute walk to the theatre, with plenty of shops nearby and even a Vue cinema should you have any time off. She was even kind enough to give me a lift to the station with my 100 bags. Would recommend!
2nd Apr 2024
Thank you Tiwai. It was great to meet you and a pleasure to host you. All the best Mary
Mary is the loveliest host! She is so friendly and really looked after me. The room was cosy and a short walk from the theatre/city centre. Great digs!

It was great to meet you Kerena. A pleasure to host you. Good luck and best wishes
Mary
Susie always enjoys staying with Mary in her beautiful house, it is great to be so near the Theatre and Mary is excellent at communicating any issues with the booking. Cannot recommend highly enough.
12th Feb 2024
I just love having Susie to stay. She’s fun and the perfect guest.
I’m hoping she comes again
Mary
Mary is a delightful host, friendly and welcoming. Her home is charming, nice quiet room, comfortable bed, excellent bathroom, and well equipped modern kitchen. An easy 10 minute walk to the Arts Theatre. I'd be very happy to stay again, when next in Cambridge.

I couldn’t fault this place. I felt extremely comfortable and most at home - the room was comfy, facilities and hospitality perfect. Very well located. Would highly recommend
30th Oct 2023
What a wonderful place to stay! Mary was kind, welcoming and full of interesting conversation. The house has a lovely kitchen and bathroom and the room itself was warm, clean and comfortable. And, the house is a stones throw from the theatre! A real hidden gem - especially when you take Mary's knowledge of Cambridge into account. I would happily return next time I'm in Cambridge! Thank you, Mary!
27th Oct 2023
Hopefully the theatre will bring you to Cambridge again.
Best wishes
Mary

AmazIng digs! Can’t recommend enough. Great location for theatres, beautiful house, lovely host, great shower, such a comfy bed with crisp white sheets, felt like a home away from home. Not far from Queen Ann’s Terrace Car Park which is about £15 a day (one of the cheapest for Cambridge!). Would defiantly stay again.
11th Sep 2023

Thanks Jake. Glad you had a good stay!
The most GORGEOUS stay with Mary. It's a lovely house with a comfortable bedroom that feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended if at the arts as only a quick 10mins to theatre and in the more quiet part of town. Thank you 😊
15th Apr 2023
It was a pleasure to meet you Rose. Good luck with the rest of the show and I hope our paths may cross again one day x

Mary is a total gem! A lovely warm presence during quite a stressful week! The house is beautiful and perfectly located, you certainly can’t be late to work when you’re this close to the theatre. I look forward to coming back. Thank you Mary!
13th Feb 2023
It was a pleasure to have you to stay Ishbel. Best of luck with the rest of the show.
Mary was a delightful host, her communication was incredibly helpful and Susie couldn't have been happier in this warm and welcoming home from home. She would stay again in a heartbeat.
6th Feb 2023
It was all my pleasure! I just loved having Susie here, such a charming person, we shared well :)
Mary's house is very comfortable and well equipped. It's a short 8 minute walk to the theatre through a lovely park. I can't wait to return. Highly recommended.

It was great to meet and host you Anna. I sincerely hope our paths will cross again.
Best wishes.

I've had one of my best stays with Mary, an absolutely brilliant host with a lovely home. This booking should be called 'home away from home' because that's exactly what it felt like. Would definitely return and recommend!
17th Jun 2022
I loved having you to stay Ben. Hope you come to Cambridge again. All the best until then
Mary
