GO FEEDBACK  : The flatness of East Anglia accentuates the feeling that you’re somewhere a bit different in England, writes KATY MCGUINNESS  

STUDENT LIFE doesn’t look more seductive than it does in Cambridge when the sun is shining. At The Varsity hotel, the city’s newest lodgings, breakfast is served in a dining room overlooking the Cam River with a view across to Magdalene (pronounced “maudlin”) College. St John’s, Trinity, Jesus, King’s, Christ’s, Queens’, Gonville Caius (pronounced “keys”), Clare and Corpus Christi – some of the most beautiful among Cambridge’s colleges – are all within walking distance. Aficionados of University Challenge  keep their eyes peeled for star performers whizzing past on bicycles.
