The 4* Cambridge Belfry Hotel; situated opposite the entrance to the Business Park, offering 120 bedrooms, two restaurants, conference facilities and a bar. There is also a leisure centre including a swimming pool and gym where Cambourne Business Park occupiers enjoy reduced price membership. Visit www.marstonhotels.com for further details.
