This is a firm favourite local pub for us and lots of others. To me it has the best atmosphere/vibe compared with the other nearby places and has a really good selection of ales and other drinks. The food is really tasty and very fairly priced. Highly recommended. Seems to be coming up as accommodation on Google and yes they have rooms but I've never stayed a I am local.

The location, the pub and courtyard are all nice. Staff is friendly and generally attentive. The food is good however they seem to be out or to run out of menu items a lot which is a bit frustrating. Our last 3 visits this happened. Including last night there was one item we ordered they didn't have and another they came back later to say they didn't have enough. For our vegetarian friends this made the limited options even more limited. It's ok if if they run out but it would be nice to be told before ordering that some items are missing. I can't comment on rooms as have not stayed or seen them.

We had our wedding here in July 2022 and it was wonderful! The team went out of their way to make the day completely perfect and memorable. Nothing was too much trouble. We had the Potting Shed, garden and outside terrace and it was great for the size of our group. Such a lovely relaxed and cosy atmosphere. The food platters were also incredible - our guests went up for seconds and thirds and commented on how delicious the food was. There were also plenty of options for vegans. Would highly recommend. Thank you to the Waterman team for the most wonderful day!

I don't normally write reviews, but my experience at The Waterman was excellent and the team absolutely deserve great reviews. I arrived fairly late, but staff immediately checked me in and ordered dinner before the kitchen closed. Great food and beer, again with great service. Room was small, but very clean, well set out and had everything one needs. Comfy bed. Great shower, great breakfast and all exceptionally good value. Every staff member I spoke with was friendly, helpful and polite. Clearly all trained well. Parking is a little awkward, but website and emails provided good instructions and I was able to park easily enough, albeit a couple of mins walk away. Great little place. Will definitely stay again if I find myself in Cambridge.

Perfect place with a lovely room, great value and very close to the town centre. My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this pub. We had a super deluxe room. The decor is modern and appealing. The bed, pillows and duvet were top quality. The bathroom facilities are new and work really well. Others have mentioned the small sink - it’s true, but only a problem if you want it for more than washing hands. The Dyson heater/cooler looks so space age, the coffee sachets were brilliant, the hairdryer powerful AND there is a socket within reach of the mirror, a convenience often overlooked. The food is above average, and cafe 30, where we had breakfast 3 times (included in the price if you book direct), is bijou and appealing. Right across the road is a Coop supermarket. The Waterman is within 15 minutes walking distance of the Round Church, crossing the river and Jesus Green, and this makes it a good place to stay if you want to see the city sites. Definitely recommend this place.
