Quiet, restful holiday in charming English village

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying outside cambridge in this cottage. It was roomy and comfortable with everything we needed to regather energy after 3 weeks travelling around Europe. We could wash clothes and enjoy some of our one home-cooked meals after living in hotels and out of a suitcase for so long. The cottage is charming, and we also felt complete privacy and room to celebrate Christmas as a family. Cambridge was not too far, but was also a good central spot to get around to other parts of England. A great stay overall.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage! The accommodation was spacious and very clean.The living room was comfortable, and opens onto a large garden. We only met Lyn briefly when we arrived, but she was very welcoming, and we were always able to contact her via email if we needed to. Needingworth itself is quite small, but St Ives is only a few minutes away. Cambridge, Ely and Wicken Fen are all about 30 mins drive. A great place to stay if you enjoy peace and quiet and would like to explore the Cambridge area. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place at comfortable distance from Cambridge.

Lyn was very helpful and assisted in every imaginable way. I very much regret that I couldn't spend more time in the lovely garden.

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.
