The Blue Ball Inn is a historic pub overlooking Grantchester Meadows just two miles from the centre of Cambridge. Purchased from a pub company by its current owners, it is now a Free House and was fully refurbished and renovated in 2016/17. Celebrating its 250 year anniversary as a pub in 2018, the interior is listed on the registry of historic pub interiors.
It offers two beautifully furnished and individually designed ensuite rooms, with the use of a private guest sitting room as well. Breakfasts are lavish, with locally sourced produce, and are served in front of the fire in the main bar, or outside in the garden in the summer.
Really nice pub. Beautiful rooms and excellent location - the setting is fantastic - very friendly. Great breakfast and 10 minutes cycle ride to Cambridge. JulieW
