BEAUTIFUL LOCATION - VERY PRIVATE
THE COTTAGE WAS AS DESCRIBED AND HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED. MY NEEDS ARE FEW: CLEAN, EASY TO FIND, BASIC KITCHEN SUPPLIES. THE HOST HAD A LOAF OF FRESH BAKED BREAD FROM A LOCAL BAKERY WAITING FOR ME - A NICE TOUCH.

Cozy with beautiful country views of the hills
Apart from water issue on arrival it was remedied within acceptable time. Though there is free Wi-Fi, the connection is not the best so make sure you have mobile data.Since the accommodation has a washing machine, a clothes airer or clothesline would be ideal, so the guest do not have to use the owners facility.

Great place to stay for Cambridge and Hobbiton
Lovely rural stay just out of Cambridge for visiting friends and doing the Hobbiton tour. Elevated view over a green valley to the hills. Comfortable bed and everything we needed. Highly recommended.

A stay in "The Shire"
For Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fans, this accommodation was our own slice of "The Shire". The room with queen bed was very comfortable, with absolutely stunning views from the adjoining deck. The kitchen was clean and neat and the bathroom modern and simple. The location was great, being only a couple of minutes from the centre of Cambridge. I would definitely recommend Kate's place!

This nice little property is located separate from, but on the same lot as the (presumed) owner's property. Plenty of driveway space, easy access, and a code-controlled gate access entering the property. The bed was comfortable with a nice view out of the back, a good-sized TV (if desired) and convenient wifi add to the comforts. A fresh loaf of bread was a nice treat, as was the coffee options in place.

Weekend in Cambridge
A cozy cottage close to Cambridge with full kitchen and modern bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the views across fields to the hills was amazing. The host left breakfast, milk and a lovely loaf. Booking and entry to the cottage was smooth. Perfect for a weekend away.
