As part of your stay in and around Cambridgeshire you will more than likely want to spend a couple of days exploring the nearby horse racing town of Newmarket. Steeped in horse racing tradition and home to the Jockey Club, Newmarket is a jewel on the CambridgeshireSuffolk border.

Although technically in Suffolk, Newmarket is surrounded on three sides by Cambridgeshire, and it has a CB postcode so it would be a shame to visit the county without a quick hop over the Suffolk border to sample this delightful town.

Thankfully, due mainly to the horse racing industry there are plenty of top class hotels in Newmarket. The Rutland Arms on the High Street offers first rate accommodation with easy access to the local pubs and restaurants. The White Hart Hotel a bit further up has the convenience of being next to a taxi rank, which is handy for the racing, but the pub below can be quite lively at weekends, which needs to be taken into consideration if you are travelling with a young family.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the High Street the Bedford Lodge hotel is situated about a mile or so down the exclusive Bury Road. The Bedford Lodge offers top class accommodation, along with a pool, gym and restaurant. A range of Spa treatments are also available at the health centre to make your stay that extra bit special.

If you are travelling on a budget there a number of decent B&Bs and Guest Houses scattered around the town and in the nearby villages such as Burwell, Exning and Chevely.

In summary, you should not have any difficulty in finding a selection of fine hotels in Newmarket. If you are visiting during May to July you should try and time it with one of the fabulous Newmarket Nights events. These combine a night at the races followed by a guest performance in the grandstand. Previous performers have included Jools Holland, Westlife and Girls Aloud and they are guaranteed to be a good night.

There are a wide variety of Hotels in Cambridge. Whether your visit is business or pleasure you are sure to find a Cambridge Hotel to suit your needs.

Within the centre of Cambridge, around Regent Street and Parkers piece in particular there are a number of top class hotels aimed at business travellers, or tourists who want to make their stay in Cambridge that extra bit special. They offer all the 5 star facilities you would expect by way of off street parking, restaurant and room service. These hotels also benefit from being within walking distance from all the major attractions such as the Colleges and the River Cam and you can expect to pay anywhere in the region of 80 (120) to 180 (260) for a double room.

Good examples of this type of Cambridge Hotel are the Regent hotel and the De Vere University Arms.

If you are on a limited budget and dont mind a bit of a walk there are plenty of B&Bs and Guest Houses concentrated around Newmarket Road and Cherry Hinton road. These are both on the way into town and a walk into the centre shouldnt take more than 20-30 minutes depending on which end of the street you are on. Alternatively, both streets are on major bus routes which would take you 5-10 minutes and cost no more than a couple of pounds (3-4).

Prices range from 50 (80) a night, to 120 (200) for some of the larger Guest Houses. One of the benefits this type of accommodation is the family run atmosphere and the often invaluable local knowledge of the owner, so they are definitely worth considering. The Fairways guest house on Cherry Hinton Rd is a classic example of this type of accommodation

If you want somewhere in between the two there are a number of Travelodge type accommodation providers in the area. These offer the look and feel of a Cambridge hotel, but usually at B&B prices. The only downside to this type of accommodation is their out of town location, but if you have your own transport this is not a problem.

The Sleep Inn Cambridge is just 6 miles north of Cambridge and also offers you the chance to explore other areas of this great county that you wouldnt see staying in the town centre.

Overall, you will not be short of choice when it comes to Hotels in Cambridge. The main things to consider, in order, are:

1) Location
2) Budget
3) Amenities

And you need to know which of the above you are willing to compromise on. Once you have made your decision, follow the link below to find a Cambridge hotel that meets your criteria.
