Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

Corpus Christi College, situated in the heart of the city, combines ancient buildings with modern facilities, making it the ideal alternative to an hotel or bed and breakfast. The accommodation available is used by students during term time and is pleasant, simple and clean in either single standard or basic ensuite bedrooms. The College does not operate in the same way as a hotel, but promise to provide you with stunning architecture steeped in history, atmosphere and a very friendly service. Each bedroom has a wash hand basin and you will be provided with a towel and soap. Bathrooms are shared unless you are in ensuite rooms. Your bedroom will be routinely cleaned by the Housekeeping staff, beds are not cleaned at weekends. Tea & coffee making facilities are offered in the kitchens, which are located close to each bedroom. Bedrooms can be chosen within the grounds of the College, you must select New Court and Taylor Court; there are also bedrooms situated just out of the main gate which is Botolph Court and Benet Street. Ensuite accommodation is a 1 minute walk from the main gate and there is also enclosed court accommodation a 2 minute walk away in the Beldam Building. Accommodation outside the College is cheaper in price due to its location and the fact that it is noisier. The college has tried to offer as much information to you regarding the standard of accommodation and facilities they offer, if you have any questions send us an enquiry. Corpus Christi very much looks forward to welcoming you!

Old Court, a rare medieval architectural gem and the oldest surviving enclosed court in Cambridge, dates from the foundation of the College in 1352. The 19th century Neo-Gothic New Court provides the four traditional essentials of a college - a Chapel, a Library, a Hall and a Lodge for the Master. Famous Students who have attended Corpus Christi include the playwrights Christopher Marlowe and John Fletcher. Fascinating fact: Long-nosed inquisitive Corpus Master Matthew Parker of 1544 was the original "Nosey Parker!!" Breakfast is included in the price and you will dine in the Hall each morning. Breakfast is served Monday to Sunday from 08.30am to 09.15am. Tea & Coffee-making facilities are available in the kitchens located close to each bedroom.
