Average time to visit
It is very difficult to predict the weather in the United Kingdom - in the summer from May to late September is generally seen as the most pleasant time to visit. Rainfall is difficult to predict - but the UK does not receive as much as many are led to believe! In the winters, temperatures do fall, but there is nothing better than finding a remote pub with a roaring fire to sit beside after a long walk in the country.

Reviews
Sierra Obermark (Staff)
Located in the heart of Cambridge with views over Parker's Piece and historic Regent Street, the University Arms is an ambitious refurbishment which brings Cambridge's history and pride to the forefront. The undeniable British style blends seamlessly into the feeling of this university town. Booking a named suite here means a curated experience in which you can immerse yourself in a famous subject, including Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking. Parker's Tavern, the main restaurant, is a delight in both visual style and incredible food offerings. Throughout the hotel, the service is impeccable. The staff at the front desk, in the bar and walking through the hallways are eager to greet you warmly and welcome you into the family.
