About this property
Private country retreat in Cambridgeshire
A peaceful adults-only retreat on a private historic estate in Cambridgeshire. Serenthea offers calm, design-led interiors, two serene bedrooms, a cosy lounge, a study, and a fully enclosed garden with pond and fire pit. Perfect for rest, reflection, or a quiet countryside escape. Private entrance, easy self check-in, and beautiful walks from the doorstep.
STILLNESS, COMFORT & QUIET LUXURY
Serenthea has been intentionally styled to feel grounding and spacious. Natural textures, soft lighting and carefully chosen materials create a warm, restorative atmosphere.
Inside, you’ll find a cosy lounge with soft seating, an electric fireplace, and views across the private garden. A separate study offers a calm, neutral space for reading, writing or creative work, with optional lighting for those who record content.
Guests often tell us they sleep better here than anywhere else.
SLEEP & RELAXATION
The retreat includes two serene bedrooms — one king, one double — each with natural light, blackout curtains and calm, uncluttered décor. British-wool bedding and hand-selected textiles bring warmth and comfort.
A spa-like bathroom with quality amenities and thoughtful details encourages slow, unhurried mornings and gentle evening wind-downs.
KICHEN & DINING
The country kitchen blends homely character with clean, uplifting touches. You’ll find:
• A quality coffee machine with roasted beans
• Thoughtfully chosen cookware
• A cosy dining space for relaxed meals
Everything is set up for simple, nourishing days.
PRIVATE GARDEN, POND & OUTDOOR SPACES
Your enclosed garden curves around the retreat and offers complete privacy. Sit by the pond with morning tea, rest beneath mature trees in the afternoon sun, or gather around the fire pit on rustic log-slice seating at dusk.
Garden mats and seating are provided if you’d like to stretch, journal, or simply breathe in the quiet of the estate grounds.
IDEAL FOR:
• Solo travellers seeking stillness
• Couples wanting a peaceful countryside escape
• Writers, creatives and deep thinkers
• Those needing rest from fast-paced life
• Guests who love nature, privacy and renewal
WHY GUESTS LOVE IT HERE
Guests describe Serenthea as “calm, beautifully designed and instantly relaxing,” with many calling it “a personal retreat” and “a reset.”
LOCATION & PRIVACY
Serenthea sits within a private historic estate. While the host’s home shares the driveway, entrances are on opposite sides to ensure full privacy. The garden and entire retreat are exclusively yours.
Miles of public footpaths and bridleways begin at the doorstep, making countryside walks effortless.
By prior arrangement, guests may also bring their own horse and make use of the estate’s stables and paddocks.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Private Sanctuary with Garden, Pond & Fire Pit
• Serene Bedrooms with Blackout Curtains
• Hotel-Grade Bedding with British-Wool Layers
• Design-Led, Calming Interiors (Soft Lighting / Natural Materials)
• Creative Workspace with Garden Views
• Enhanced Privacy on a Historic Country Estate
• Quality Coffee & Thoughtful Ritual Touches
• Grounding Atmosphere with Intentional Styling

About the host
Hosted by Joanna
I’m Joanna, host of Serenthea – a sanctuary-style retreat created for rest and renewal. With a background in education, property, and personal transformation, I’ve brought these worlds together to shape a space that feels calm, safe, and inspiring. More than a place to stay, Serenthea invites reflection and creativity, with optional extras from rituals to ice baths, PEMF, and red-light therapy.
Why they chose this property
I live in the neighbouring property and it was the love for the land on which the estate is located, combined with my experience in personal development and property management, as well as my own healing journey, that inspired me to create it. Serenthea is surrounded by stunning scenery - in its own private garden as well as along the public paths around it.
What makes this property unique
Serenthea has been created as a sanctuary for the body, mind and soul.
