Fabulous place to stay and great base from which to explore the general Cambridgeshire area. The city of Cambridge itself is within easy reach via the local park and ride. Plenty of National Trusts nearby and a visit to Ely Cathderal a must. Accommodation very well presented has everything you need to either eat out or prepare a meal back at the accommodation. Lovely grounds with a windmill very iconic.

A fantastic, very unique, cottage. Set in lovely grounds, with an added bonus of looking out every morning to see a windmill. Wish we could have stayed for longer.
