That should be okay out of town. In town you'll get something but maybe in a "bad" location (bad for Cambridge is not really bad at all). This is a good accomidation board http://www.brettward.co.uk/canb/ There is another that contains all the commercial people, but I don't have the URL - try http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/cambridgeuk/ and the essential http://www.bluesplodge.co.uk/cambridge/pubs/ The choice of location is probably going to be influenced by where you are working and the time you start work - traffic getting into Cambridge in the morning is horrible. > That should be doable.
