Delightful property. Christine is the perfect host. Great location for all things Cambridge and beyond.

Our stay was great. We were working at Field Days and the apartment was located in a great place for us to get there and into town. My work colleague and i both travel alot for work and both agreed the beds were really comfortable. Thank for providing such great accommodation.

The upstairs area was perfect for our stay and the owners of the nearby house let us watch the sun rises and sun sets from the viewing area just outside of their porch. Overall a lovely stay. Highly recommend!

This is the 2nd year we have stayed at Chalet in the Shire and it is still every bit as wonderful as our first time was. One the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on, clean and comfortable, a huge fenced grass paddock for the pooch to frolic in, plus breakfast items consisting of eggs, toast, jam, muesli, milk and fruit juice are stocked in the chalet upon arrival. The ice tray was full and a jug of cold water in the fridge ready to drink. It's this extra care that will keep us going back for years to come still. Thanks again Sarah.

We weren't quite sure what to expect, as we are not normally into the glamping style of accommodation. But we loved every bit of what this place had to offer. Peaceful, no TV, surrounded by nature, over looking lake, fishing rod, kayaks, BBQ, selection of fresh produce on arrival, no neighbours anywhere close, what more could you want for serious downtime. Being a bus it has 'bus' sized amenities so you have to be prepared for that. Having said that it had a full sized very comfortable bed. Also has bunks available. Being located in the middle of nature be prepared to have a few bugs, birds, rabbits etc running around, but that all adds to the charm. Loads of flat area for the kids to run around on or even the family dog (remember it is a working farm). We will be back next time we need more unwind time.

It was perfect.

Place is very nice for holiday

Everything we wanted for a weekend away & more - tranquil green surroundings & smart comfortable house with great bedlinen! It met our expectations perfectly - recommend it unconditionally.
