Nestled on the banks of the River Cam, in Cambridge’s historic centre, the dog-friendly Graduate Cambridge is an idyllic retreat that feels like an extension of the university, with design nods to college architecture, crests and discoveries like the DNA double helix.

A classic coaching inn, the dog-friendly Golden Lion Hotel is traditional, comfortable, and welcoming and has recently been refurbished offering modern-day comforts in a delightful 18c building.
