Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: Rude receptionist
available were coming cheap. As an arch capitalist who is a firm believer in the supply and demand philosophy I had no real objections to being charged over and above the normal rates though I was still against paying unnecessarily over the odds for just one night. The Britannia, for instance, a three star hotel close to Piccadilly in central Manchester where I had stayed on my previous visit, wanted around £100 for the night. A nice hotel the Britannia may be but cheap it certainly is not. I instructed Expedia to find me an available hotel rated three stars and above without specifying any specifics such as air conditioning and swimming facilities. It came up, amongst others, with the Mitre Hotel.
I was intrigued by the description given of this place. It was described as being central, having thirty-two rooms and listing such amenities as ...

Advantages: Friendly, close to the river Cam, good food. Disadvantages: No air conditioning.
The Mitre is one of those pubs that is just, well, reliable. As one of the oldest pubs still standing in Cambridge, it has a long history of owners and functions (including a brewery and a pool hall!). But in more recent times, it's just been The Mitre: a typical English pub.
So it's no surprise that the locals worried when the place was given a facelift in 2001. There was talk that it had become a supposedly "trendy bar". But it's not. The walls may be lighter, but the dark wood furnishings and grand black fireplace still exist. The staff are still down to earth and the regulars still hang around.
Situated on Bridge Road, The Mitre is a short walk from the river Cam and its punt boats. On a sunny day, you can watch the passers-by with the sun shining in through the large front windows, but this can get hot during the warmer months ...
