The Holts - Charming idyllic & rural 2 bed Cottage

Particularly charming 2 bed cottage in Horningsea only 4 miles from Cambridge city centre. Horningsea has the best of both worlds - idyllic & rural whilst being connected to Cambridge Science Park. Superb location set between 2 village pubs - the Plough & Fleece and the Crown & Punchbowl Grade II listed pub recommended in Good Pub Guide 2021. Only 5 minute walk to Scotsdale Garden Centre with Cafe serving cooked breakfast/tea & coffee. Lovely walks along the River Cam at the back of The Holts.

Log burner & storage heaters available for use and underfloor heating in both kitchen and bathroom. Vodafone Superfast Unlimited WiFi available. Kingsize bed with luxury Emma mattress in master bedroom, Double bed in 2nd bedroom. Integrated washing machine and dishwasher in kitchen.

There is a bus stop opposite and a cycle route along the river direct to Cambridge City centre which is approximately 4 miles. Plenty of on street parking.

I will follow the guests lead and am on call if needed

Horningsea is a nice, quiet & chilled village with some beautiful walks. The river Cam is within viewing distance from my garden.

There is a bus stop directly opposite. Cambridge City centre is 4 miles and you can walk/bike along the river Cam all the way to the centre.

Please note this is an old building built in 1790 which has a steep staircase to the bedrooms upstairs.
It might be fusty and dusty in areas so may not be your cup of tea, please note before making a booking, thanks.
Please also bring logs & kindling for the log burner
No smoking, vaping or parties thank you
The cottage features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Cosy cottage with nice pubs nearby

Really nice cottage style property with a log burner and really comfy beds. Only warning would be the stairs as they're pretty steep and the bathroom is downstairs if you need to get up in the middle of the night.
