When it comes to earning 5-star reviews and repeat bookings, the secret isn’t just in the sheets — it’s in the streets. Helping guests experience the best of Cambridge like a local can turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.


The Power of Local Insight

Modern travellers crave authenticity. By offering hyperlocal tips, you:

  • Build trust: Guests feel looked after when they receive insider advice

  • Enhance experiences: Visitors get more than just a place to sleep

  • Stand out: Unique recommendations make your flat more memorable than others


What to Recommend in Cambridge

You don’t need a long list — just a well-curated one. Prioritise hidden gems and personal favourites:

  • Independent Cafes: Hot Numbers, Bould Brothers, or Fitzbillies for a famous Chelsea bun

  • Hidden Gardens: The Fellows’ Garden behind Clare College or the Botanic Garden

  • Free Museum Times: The Fitzwilliam Museum and Museum of Archaeology often have open hours

  • Day Trips: Grantchester meadows, Ely Cathedral, or even a punt to Stourbridge Common


How to Deliver Recommendations

Convenience and personalisation go a long way. Choose delivery methods that guests can access easily:

  • Printed Welcome Guides: A small binder or booklet left in the flat

  • QR Code Maps: Stickers or postcards with links to Google Maps pins

  • WhatsApp Welcome Messages: Pre-written tips based on guest type (family, couple, business)


Real Examples That Delighted Guests

  • A guest from Canada raved about a suggested riverside walk to Grantchester they "never would have found alone."

  • A group of friends loved the pub crawl map with stops at The Eagle, The Mill, and The Cambridge Blue.

  • One business traveller appreciated the heads-up about early opening times at Bould Brothers.
