Overall Ratings & Reviews The Earl of Derby - Inn

We were given a room at the front of the pub, above the bar. The pub is on a busy road junction and so there is traffic noise! It was hot so we had the windows open, it was noisy, however, the windows are double glazed and there were ear plugs provided. There’s no air con but there were 2 fans in the room. There were also plug in radiators, hair dryer, iron, full size kettle and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The room and bathroom were clean and well presented. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night so cannot judge if the pub would be noisy as there was nothing going on. We didn’t use the bar, however it looked clean and the staff were all happy and polite. You can walk into the centre of town in about 15 minutes alternatively the buses all run from the station which is only two minutes away. Big plus is the gated free parking in the car park, as there doesn’t seem to be much car parking in town and what there is is expensive. We had a good stay in a traditional town pub. For the price of the room, it’s great. There’s a block of rooms behind the pub which must be quieter, if you’re a light sleeper, I’d definitely ask for one of those! We had a great couple of days in Cambridge and Derby was a great base to work from.

Very central for what we wanted, quick check in, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great location. Great breakfast for very good price.

Great location, such nice friendly staff. Let us check in early. Also let us leave car after check out so we could make the most of our time. Great stay. Would recommend

We stayed for a night and had a lovely time. The people who worked there were so lovely and accomodating. The room was really clean, the bed was super comfy and the coffee/tea station in the room was really nice. We had breakfast in the morning and it was absolutey delicious. Overall a 10/10 stay.

Great location, onsite parking rare in area so a massive bonus. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms look recently refurbished. Only downside is the location is on a very busy road so rooms facing this are noisy most of the night. Recommend requesting a room at the rear.

We stayed at Early of Derby for one night and it was perfect! Either a 30 min walk or 5 min uber into town, the location is great. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The room was clean and had everything you need! They even left a little bag of mini eggs as we stayed on Easter weekend! We will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect location for the train station & Cambridge Junction. Spacious room with good beds & bedding. Great parking, on site! Helpful team. Thank you.

No dining on the day of arrival. The following day the breakfast was very poor, no remote for the TV. The double bed was two bases put together with a double mattress on top, if you ended up in the middle you would fall towards the floor, the service wasn't very good, the pictures that are being displayed for the hotel are out 10 Years old. I would advise Expedia to check this out.

Warm welcome, lovely room with extra touches like a pack of sweets & hot chocolate as well as the usual biscuits and tea & coffee. Beautifully clean and modern. Excellent wifi and free parking within walking distance of city centre

Good pub

Very nice welcome ,clean practical room, shower needs updating . Very adequate for our needs

The people made you really welcome and everyone was really friendly and helpful. The room was large and really comfortable.

The property was in a good location with plenty restaurants around and the bonus of onsite parking.

Earl of Derby . Very friendly pub with fine accommodation beers and food

Earl of Derby is very well located in Cambridge. Walking distance to town and train station. The rooms are very nice, comfortable, clean and quiet. Great being attached to pub for drinks and food. Hospitality is good and not intrusive. Staff are very helpful!! Just ask.

The room was good value and nice size. Staff friendly. You check in at the bar. But noisy re bar music till very early hours but we were awake anyway. It was a bit of a trek into the town.

Stay here. You won’t be disappointed

Well located as we were going to a concert at Cambridge Junction just a couple of minutes walk away. Free parking and an excellent breakfast Would stay again

everything was great. As this is a pub on a saturday night a band plays in the pub downstairs. We were fine with that. Very reasonable food prices. Very good selection of shower bottles and coffee and tea with biscuits,jellybeans,and mints. Great value centre of cambridge is 15 min walk along one road.
