The owners are very welcoming and responsive. The accommodation is comfortable and clean and has everything that you would need for a relaxing holiday. Well worth a visit are Stanwick Lakes or Grafham Water, lots of interesting walks and good cafes too. We have already booked our seventh Christmas stay

It is always comforting when the host lives next door. It is without doubt the nicest cottage we have stayed in England or Wales. We stay in about three a year. We went for it's proximity to Cambridge, Betchley Park, IWM Duxford and the Shuttleworth Collection so we could visit them all. Being November indoor museums were what we wanted.
