Named after the previous owner, this much loved semi-detached family home, next door to the local primary school, provides spacious yet cosy accommodation in the heart of the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Offord D’Arcy. Close by lies Godmanchester, a historic and scenic town situated on the River Great Ouse, in the Ouse Valley.
There has been a settlement here since Viking times and the town retains much of its Roman history where history buff can visit the Porch Museum, as it is home to many local artefacts and is a treasure trove of information about the history of the town. Also a ‘must visit’ is the university city of Cambridge with its guided walks, numerous museums, including the famous Fitzwilliam, punting on the River Cam, open top bus tours and great shops and restaurants.
To fit it all in, you will need to make several visits, and Cambridge’s network of park-and-ride systems makes this very easy to do. Alternatively, you can pop into Huntingdon and take the train, which also runs to Ely with its magnificent cathedral, or even be in the heart of London in around an hour. Even closer lies Grafham Water, which offers water sports and is a great place for a stroll, picnic or family day out. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased to return to Pam’s Plaice and enjoy dinner in the light and airy conservatory, which just seems to bring the outside in, or in the pretty rear garden, while you plan adventures yet to be had.

We had a lovely time so much to do locally with the dogs Paxton Pit Nature Reserve was brilliant as was Hinchingbrooke County Park. Would recommend the Chinese in Buckden. Jenny was lovely.Enclosed garden was great for the dogs. It does not mention in description but there is also an outside toilet which is handy for when people are showering. Would definitely go back 😊

Another lovely break which I think says it all - anywhere you would return to must be great and Pam’s Plaice certainly is! A cosy, peaceful, well-appointed spot with the friendliest and most helpful home-owner you could imagine (thank you, Jenny!). We will be back.

Lovely house with great walks in the local area. Very dog friendly part of the country. Village pub has a good reputation for food and atmosphere, didn't disappoint. River Mill restaurant in nearby Eaton Socon well worth a visit. The owner met us on arrival and explained everything to us and was on call next door if we had any issues. Would recommend without a doubt.
