The barn was amazing and was very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. Nice and modern with a country feel. The outside setting is beautiful and we thoroughly just sitting and taking in the view.

Tasteful, clean, and newly built house set in a wonderful garden with a beautiful terrace, wildflower meadow, and woodland. There are plenty of lovely things to do in the surrounding area. Within walking distance of an excellent pub. About an hour and a half from the ferry at Harwich.

Great location. We enjoyed our stay. The woodland walks were great and an added bonus for my daughter was the 3 horses in the field next door. The accommodation is well equipped, though thankfully we took our own pizza tray and pizza cutter as holiday accommodation never seems to have these. Haverhill Sainsbury's is a 15 minute drive away for supplies and The Bell pub is a 10 minute walk and offers great food and friendly service. We visited Audley End, Newmarket races day, Linton Zoo and The National Stud. We had gorgeous weather so had a couple of BBQs and spent most our time outdoors on the patio. The in room fans are very welcome in the summer. My only (very small) gripe is that the top drawer in the main bedroom doesnt open and this is where the hairdryer is stored but we brought our own so wasn't a problem. Lovely stay and enjoyed our time very much. Fix the drawer in the wardrobe. Include a pizza tray and cutter.

the position of the barn was perfect for our stay in Cambridgeshire. we had a fabulous week exploring the local area. we visited National trust and English heritage sites as well as trips to Cambridge and Ely. Coming back on an evening was lovely to cook some tea after a nice G&T on the patio. we had the best weather, sometimes even too hot, reaching 34 degrees. we had everything we needed for cooking and the bed was very comfortable for . all the places we visited were within 30-40 minutes in the car or on park and ride it was exceedingly hot and we would have appreciated having a fan to use, luckily we had brought one of our own so had some respite but an extra one would have made it more comfortable and an umbrella on the patio would have been a bonus as it was bright hot sunshine from early morning until early evening and ther was nowhere to escape the heat. this was an exceptional week but worth thinking about for the future
