The Cottage Needingworth Cambridgeshire

We had a wonderful time staying at this lovely home whilst visiting our family in England (we live in the USA) Lyn & Eric were lovely & made sure our stay was great,nothing was too much trouble. The house itself is a great size & worked perfectly for us, our Daughter & Granddaughter & the beautiful garden was perfect to host our family who came to visit us. There was lots of wildlife too, which we love. All in all the perfect location. We will definitely visit again & highly recommend this place

Ideal Stay!

We stayed at the Cottage- a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood. Lyn was an amazing host- even left us a bottle of wine and cake as a welcome gift. We didn’t cook during our stay, but the kitchen seemed very well equipped. Bed and linens were very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. Our favorite part about this place was the private garden. We would love to stay here again!

Welcoming Cottage

Lovely house in beautiful surroundings. Garden is just lovely and it’s so very private. In nice rural area with very easy access to larger towns and many National Trust buildings to enjoy. Would definitely stay there again if ever in the area. Very much appreciated the bottle of wine and the cookies left for us by the owners, Lyn and Eric who were so very nice and made us feel welcome.

Large cottage in quiet location

This bungalow is very spacious but in need of some TLC. The garden has many trees which in our opinion are in need of a visit from an arborist. They cut out a lot of light to the property. Unfortunately whilst we were there , we had quite a lot of rain overnight which overflowed the gutters and noisily dropped on the window sill. The owner did come round and did his best to fix it . The location is very good for exploring the area, lots to do within an hour or so drive , the cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable.

Perfect place for area

Our stay at Lyn and Eric’s place was the perfect accommodation for our family of five. The house is very spacious, we were all able to have a space to go to for some time alone. It was great to have two toilets and a huge full bathroom. The kitchen is supplied with everything you need to cook and store groceries. The garden is absolutely beautiful and great for a tea or coffee and to sit out in the sun. The area is beautiful with close proximity to shops and restaurants and nature preserves to explore. Obviously, Cambridge is not too far. Overall, when we are able to return to visit our family and friends we hope to reserve the Cottage again. Thank you Lyn and Eric.

Great location; comfortable and cosy property

This property is in a great location for exploring the Fen region including Ely and Cambridge. The village has a well stocked shop and access to fenland walks and a marina (with accompanying seals). There are some beautiful nearby villages and access to some wonderfully interesting walks. It's well worth hiring a boat to explore the waterways. The property has a lovely, large and private garden and the house is very comfortable and well appointed, providing everything you need (particularly within the kitchen) for making you feel at home.
