Barberton Daisy

Barberton Daisy: Cambridgeshire

Set in a new, sustainable development in the northwest of Cambridge, this modern home is the opposite of the period buildings you may expect in this historic city. Avant-garde and sophisticated, it's a sleek and stylish space with all the independence of a self-contained flat, plus all the benefits of a hotel. You'll feel at home straight away, thanks to its wheelchair accessible open-plan layout, comfortable furnishings and striking modern styling. There's a small but perfectly formed kitchen area if you're cooking at home, as well as a little dining table and a cosy sofa. The shower room has grab rails and a seat, making it easy for everyone to use, and the king-size bed is super comfy. If you're feeling sociable, mingle in the communal guest lounge or head up to the roof terrace with a drink. Elsewhere in the building, there's a fitness room and you can opt to have breakfast each morning in the on-site restaurant. Just ten minutes from the heart of the city, getting around is easy too.
