Lily Barn at Clopton Courtyard

About this property

Lily Barn is a beautifully designed holiday cottage at Clopton Courtyard, sleeping four guests (or six with the optional Sheringham Hut). Set in tranquil Cambridgeshire countryside just twenty minutes from Cambridge, this dog-friendly self-catering accommodation combines contemporary design with warm character. Guests enjoy a private wood-fired hot tub, semi-enclosed garden with farmland views, and a freestanding bath in the master bedroom. Perfect for couples, small families, or friends, Lily Barn offers relaxed luxury within easy reach of Cambridge, Ely, and Newmarket — a countryside escape with city convenience.

Lily Barn combines the best of modern comfort and rustic charm in one effortlessly stylish space. Part of Clopton Courtyard, a collection of converted barns surrounded by open countryside, it offers a peaceful retreat that's wonderfully private yet close to the shared courtyard's sociable atmosphere should you choose. Inside, sleek lines and soft lighting create a calm, welcoming space. Outside, a private wood-fired hot tub waits in the garden to be your favourite spot for stargazing or quiet morning coffee overlooking the fields.

The barn sleeps four guests across two elegant king bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort. The primary bedroom features a freestanding bath for indulgent soaks with a glass of bubbles, while the open-plan living area feels bright and airy with a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces. There's a large dining table made for slow breakfasts and long suppers, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable sitting area where you can unwind after a day exploring Cambridge or the local countryside. Adding to its appeal is a charming shepherd's hut that can be booked to increase accommodation to six people.

You're just twenty minutes from Cambridge, where you can spend the day punting along the River Cam, touring college gardens, or discovering independent cafés and boutiques. Closer to home, explore the flat lanes by bike, walk the Clopton Way, visit Wimpole Estate or Anglesey Abbey, or drive to Ely to see its magnificent cathedral. Back at Clopton Courtyard, join other guests around the Dutch barn fire pit or enjoy your own quiet evening under the stars. Lily Barn makes a wonderful countryside retreat for couples celebrating something special or families seeking peaceful space with easy city access.
