Great Easter break

The cottage is very pleasant and chaming, with lovely wooden floors. There was plenty of space for 3 of us. It was very relaxing. We all loved the cottage and it's location in Granchester, so near the meadows and easy walk/cycle to Cambridge Tess could not be more helpful, as we wanted to bring our bikes and was very flexible with our arrival/leave times (I know this might not be possible at busier times). Granchester is a beautiful village with great pubs (we tried 2 of them) and walks. We enjoyed cycling to Cambridge (a mile or so away), and also the nearest supermarket is a few minutes away by bike or car.

Cute flat in a quiet loction, walking distance from Cambridge.

Compact, but clean and functional. Across the street from greenspace with walking trails. Owner lives near by so easy and good communication. A nice place to unwind at the end of the day.

Cozy cottage

The cottage was exactly as advertised—comfortable, attractive, and tidy. The village is beautiful and Cambridge is just a lovely walk through the meadows using public footpaths. Tess was a kind and helpful host.

素晴らしい環境のコテージ

1階の窓から素朴だけど、美しい農園の景色が広がっていて、食事のたびに楽しめました。家はビクトリア期のものとあって古く全体に小さめですが、設備はきちんと整備されていて、清潔でした。写真よりももっと綺麗な感じがしました。歩いて数分のところに有名な果樹園カフェがあり、おいしスコーンと紅茶を美しい環境で楽しめます。あのスコーンの味は忘れられないでしょう。
