Staff were lovely and friendly on arrival and throughout our stay. Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. Nice extra touches when we first got in the room such as complimentary toiletries, ear plugs and sweets. Only negative was the bathroom had mould on the ceiling but this didn't affect or stay.
We went to the pub and it was good, but not somewhere I would come and stay for a long time. You have screens to watch football and some eating area outside, with cars parking around. The toilets were easily accessible. Bar staff was friendly, but needed to wait a bit as they were showing some rooms for the guests. The drink choice was good.
5/5 Stars – Great Breakfast, Great Value
Popped into The Earl Of Derby in Cambridge for their full English breakfast and was really pleased. At £7.95 including tea or coffee, it's a great deal. The food came out quickly and the portion was generous — big sausage, plenty of bacon, hash brown, egg, beans, toast, and tomatoes. I asked for no mushrooms and they got that spot on.
Tasty, filling, and in a relaxed pub setting — exactly what you want from a proper breakfast. Will definitely be back!
I didn’t stay at the hotel, but the breakfast and service was phenomenal. Unfortunately their ticket system went down and my order didn’t get sent to the kitchen when I first ordered. However, due to previously working in hospitality myself, I perfectly understood as this had happened many times where I used to work. The staff were so apologetic about this mistake and quickly offered me a free wine and brought out the breakfast, cutlery and sauce to me in no time at all. Fantastic service and the breakfast tastes even better than how I remember!!!!

Just left this venue and have nothing but positive feedback!
Affordable prices, great atmosphere, lovely decor.
Taylor, who was running the place during my visit, was consistently available, constantly kind and impressively personable.
My visit was full of the regular oddities that any pub must face, but Taylor remained professional whilst retaining her enthusiasm. I don’t want to sound condescending but this is an incredibly difficult feat in this sort of environment, I was very impressed by this and it made me feel very comfortable in a place I hadn’t spent time in before.
Prices good, chips were some of the best I’ve had in my life, and the aforementioned staff were great.
I highly recommend The Earl of Derby!
