Spacious bungalow with excellent shower room. Large well equipped kitchen. Couldn’t allow dog to roam free in garden as not fully fenced in. Public footpaths at back of house could have challenge privacy, although people never seemed to look in. Village amenities are excellent with everything you could need within 5 minute walk. Excellent recreation park within 10 minutes walk with fenced off field for dogs. Very enjoyable holiday. Easy access to Ely and Cambridge.

We have just enjoyed our second holiday in Cambridgeshire staying at Hedgeways. So much to do in this area, Newmarket for the races, Ely Cathedral City and Bury Saint Edmunds in particular. Fordham itself and the location of the bungalow within it is spot on. As the other reviewers have highlighted despite the bungalow being tucked away down a quiet cul de sac you can walk through the garden gate and reach a small supermarket or eateries including one of the best Indian restaurant/takeaway meals we've ever had! There is a nice park too within walking distance which has a fenced dog field. Also the gate from the bungalow leads you into a small wood with walks for dogs and adults alike. The garden isn't fully fenced but we didn't find this a problem. We felt our dog was most welcome by the owner providing bowls, blankets and towels for him! The bungalow is very spacious, the kitchen with the large table and views of the garden from the bifold door when the sun shone was lovely.
