About Us

The Norna (formerly known as 'Tenison Towers Guesthouse'), is a newly renovated eight bedroom boutique guesthouse/hotel located only 3 minutes walk from Cambridge central train station, and a 10 to 15 minute walk to Cambridge city centre and the iconic Cambridge University colleges.

The Norna provides affordable overnight accommodation in the heart of the CB1 business district. All rooms have a small private bathroom, large flatscreen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, toiletries, complimentary wifi, and a keyless 24hour entry system.

The 'Norna' is managed by Claire Bracher whose first career was as a professional viola da gamba performer, and for ten years as a professor of the viola da gamba at the Royal College of Music in London.

Claire also manages the Orlando hotel next door: www.theORLANDO.co.uk
