Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Cambridgeshire vacation cottage rental rating 55/5
Inglenook Cottage
CCD  Ohio USA
Review Submitted: October 3, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We stayed at the cottage from 1 thru 18 Sep 08. It was fantastic, far better than we had thought it would be. Everything we needed was at the cottage and it was decorated very nicely. The summerhouse in the garden and the extra half bath were added bonuses. Everything we needed was within walking distance and the bus stop and station were very close too. It may not be suitable for a handicapped person (stairs) or a very tall person (low ceilings upstairs) but overall we were extremely satisfied and would recommend it wholeheartedly. I even learnt how to use an Aga cooker! (There is a regular stove for those who don't want to use the Aga.)

We thought this cottage was lovely. Nicely furnished and well equipped. The garden was very pretty and great for outdoor breakfast and evening bbq.

Great location within easy reach of Cambridge and also Grantchester with it's magical Orchard. There was a co-op a few minutes away by car and it is not far off the M11, so overall it was very well situated.
