Students going for interviews at the prestigious university should check out the Cambridge city centre B&Bs - after all the seemingly endless round of visits and interviews can get expensive. Also parents may find it an economical way to visit if they are meeting up with their progeny at Cambridge University of the University of East Anglia (almost equally as prestigious in the fields of creative writing and English literature).
Peterborough guest houses offer a similar service for visitors to Anglia Ruskin University, which is famed for healthcare degrees. Choose an elegant bed and breakfast with classic furnishings and neutral tones, or a cosy terrace house with thick rugs and snug armchairs, which reminds you of your grandmother's home, depending on your preference and budget. Very few guest houses now operate curfews or kick you out during the day, but do ask on their policies regarding eating inside at lunch times; most prefer - quite sensibly - that you don't eat in your room, but will happily let you use the lounge or dining area.
Other Cambridgeshire accommodation includes a wide range of small and large B&Bs throughout the county offering varied specialities, including LGBT friendly accommodation, vegan cuisine, or simply a family centred, old fashioned approach.
If you love the seaside then the gentle charm of the Norfolk Coast guest houses could be for you. Places where the owner lives there and gets their fish from the nice skipper who puts out to sea every day and fishes by line. Or a Great Yarmouth B&B, home to the charming seaside nostalgia of penny arcades, donkey rides and deck chairs. If you like kitesurfing, then stay in a Hunstanton B&B and hit the waves. If you'd like to learn kite surfing, there is a popular training school by the shores, that also rents out equipment and teaches wind surfing.
A charmingly rustic Norfolk Broads B&B could be the ideal setting for a long weekend, the perfect treat after hitting a noisome deadline or simply a treat for you and your partner. King's Lynn guest houses are also a delightful holiday destination, especially for gear heads who wish to attend a speedway heat, preceding the biker challenge's world cup. A Norwich B&B would be idyllic for a city break on the cheap, without compromising on amenities or breakfast. While there check out the Norwich Theatre Royal, and enjoy the many arts festivals throughout the summer.
