Family post-xmas break
We wanted to visit Cambridge and nearby areas and the house was well located for that. The house was nice and spacious which was great for the kids to play and explore. Having a park right on its doorstep was a bonus. The hosts were very responsive and we encountered no problems at all before, during or after our stay. I'd recommend staying at this house for anyone interested in a lovely family break in Cambridgeshire.

Stunning property great location
The house is so cozy and charming. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for friends who lived in a nearby town. The playground access was perfect for our daughter and the hot tub was great after long days into Cambridge and London. We took walks by the water and into town. The hosts were so welcoming and communicative. Great place to stay if you are looking to relax with your family or friends.

Lovely homely accommodation
Beautiful spacious house in a lovely village with hot tub. Very comfortable. Yummy hamper on arrival (even the dog was spoilt!!) We were three families of ten with two children, lots of games and a play park very close. Sylvia was a very good host and was easily contactable. Lots of places to visit in the local area. We had a fantastic family time.
