About this property
Oar Cottage | Historic Cambridge Retreat
Oar Cottage is a thoughtfully renovated garden flat in the historic heart of Cambridge, designed as a peaceful retreat. Just minutes from Magdalene College and the River Cam, a walk down from Castle Hill reveals the spire of St Peter’s Church and the tower of St John’s College Chapel — one of those simple Cambridge moments we often fall in love with. Comfortable, calm, and ideal for both short and longer stays.
