Churchill delivered what I wanted and expected, a comfortable and convenient room. The shower was excellent and everything worked. The lunch and dinner meals offered a reasonable choice, were good and great value. Very happy with the two days and would certainly stay in college again.

Excellent college (Churchill) in which to stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, as well as being light and airy. The college grounds are magnificent. Food tasty and extremely good value. The porters - front of house! - are just the best!

Staff at Porters Lodge very nice and resourceful and helped me mend my shoe with great enthusiasm! You are the best! Bathroom radiator and towel-dryer didn't work. Bathroom was really cold. Room was warm though. Proper breakfast served!

Churchill College is 1960s comfortable- large room, large windows, acres of lawn. Very convenient for meetings on West Cambridge site and a reasonable walk to thcentre of Cambridge. Good varied breakfast with excellent croissants.
Anon

Room clean and comfy. No hot food at breakfast during term time but good choice of cereals, fresh fruit, pastries etc. Lunch good and excellent value. All staff helpful and friendly.

Lovely to see Baz and the crew in the porters lodge again - they were super helpful, as ever. A nice, quiet room, a comfy bed and a good breakfast - great!
Anon

We have stayed at Churchill a few times now and cannot fault it, ideal for getting out and about in Cambridge, just a 10 minute walk to the city centre.
Anon
