Stay in a Cambridge college

IT'S a little known fact that members of the public can book student accommodation out of term times (from as little as £34 per person per night) at some of the famous #Cambridge University colleges – including King's, Christ's, Magdalene, St John's, Clare, Trinity Hall, and Corpus Christi.

Visitors can check their bags into the porter's lodge before enjoying a drink in the college bar, a meal in the dining room and a walk in the college gardens.

Follow in the footsteps of some of King's college alumni, including poet John Keats, novelists Thomas Hardy, W. Somerset Maugham, and Virginia Wolf, and Britain's first prime minister, Robert Walpole.

Founded in 1441 by Henry VI, it took some 100 years to complete the buildings in the heart of Cambridge. Single and double ensuite accommodation is offered to guests at the recently-refurbished Benet Street site.

Clare College’s celebrated alumni include naturalist Sir David Attenborough, and writer and broadcaster Matthew Parris. Founded in 1326, it is Cambridge's second oldest college, with 17th century architecture and riverside gardens. Single and twin room student accommodation, with either ensuite or shared bathrooms, is available at the college's Memorial Court and Chesterton Lane sites.
