A week away from it all

A comfortable, spacious bungalow that had an equally spacious garden in which wildlife was a feature - birds and the occasional grey squirrel, all located in a quite village.

Well needed break

We needed a quiet and relaxing week away and that is exactly what The Cottage provided. Spacious, peaceful and very comfortable with a lovely surrounding garden. Several good places to eat nearby and interesting places to visit within easy reach. Very pleased with our choice.

Great location; comfortable and cosy property

This property is in a great location for exploring the Fen region including Ely and Cambridge. The village has a well stocked shop and access to fenland walks and a marina (with accompanying seals). There are some beautiful nearby villages and access to some wonderfully interesting walks. It's well worth hiring a boat to explore the waterways. The property has a lovely, large and private garden and the house is very comfortable and well appointed, providing everything you need (particularly within the kitchen) for making you feel at home.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Lyn Smith

My husband and I have lived in Cambridgeshire for many years and brought up our family here. We moved to our present home in 2006 after falling in love with it. The setting is just lovely and still puts a smile on our faces every time we enter the drive. We hope you will enjoy spending time here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love the fact that it is within a village with a shop and pubs and has easy access to the local town and Cambridge while still being close to nature.
