    We had eveything we needed, including a welcome basket that provided us with breakfast. The local village store has freezers packed with delicious meals for one/two/four people and we could not believe the selection of items it stocks. The owners are so friendly and helpful, thank you very much. Fantastic break, shame we couldn't stay longer.

  • "A lovely cottage with absolutely everything you could need for a restful holiday."

    It was so nice to have a welcome pack on arrival, including butter and milk in the fridge. Oodles of room and very comfy seating. Good car parking and the owners had left a very helpful note telling visitors to leave by the bottom gate, away from the more difficult exit on a bend. The owners, Andrew and Amanda couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. We had a wonderful week relaxing, visiting various landmarks, watching the wildlife (amazing red kites) and laughing at the ‘family’ of beautiful, feral puss cats who congregated outside the farmhouse door each morning waiting for breakfast to be served. All in all, a super break.

    We are so pleased you enjoyed staying in Redwood Cottage. It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. Owners Property Owner

    Perfect location for exploring Cambridge, Ely (lovely market) etc. Amanda and Andrew were great hosts. Not intrusive but checked in on us in passing. We were only there for a week so didn't do much cooking, but kitchen looked well equipped. It was just the two of us so we had plenty of beds to choose from. Having an undercover outdoor space was great, especially with the everchanging British weather. Just be mindful of the possibility of bats swooping past in the evenings.

    Property was exactly as described and perfect for our requirements. Twice we were left without power, though owners were quick to attend to the problem. By coincidence, we had a similar experience on our previous Sykes holiday, in Powfoot, where we arrived to find that there was no functioning water supply. Again, it was attended to rapidly. We hope that next time we will be more fortunate. Apart from that, holiday was most enjoyable.

    Thank you for leaving the cottage in such a tidy state. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, you were just so unlucky to experience probably the two worst storms of the year! Hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Redwood Cottage."

    It is very comfortable, clean well-equipped and welcoming and just what we needed. We had family commitments in the area so did not have a chance to explore the area but are hoping to do so on our next visit. We really enjoyed sitting in the beautifully light conservatory. I am now intrigued by the history of the farm and having looked it up in old OS maps the redwood tree (or perhaps its predecessor) outside the conservatory appears to have been in situ since the 1880s!

    We are so pleased you enjoyed Redwood Cottage, on your next visit we will show you old documents about the farm. Andrew’s family moved down from Scotland in the 50s. Property Owner

    A warm welcome was received on arrival and there were 'little extra's' in the cottage we hadnt anticipated, making it feel 'home from home'. The cows in the adjacent field were fascinating to watch and the sun room at the rear of the property was ideal for family games, relaxing and reading. The weather was not great for us but we did have a couple of nice days in which we did punting in Cambridge (a must to see Cambridge at its best) and a walk around Houghton Mill (Actual mill closed due to COVID restrictions) but the surronding countryside is beautifual - we crossed a lock and saw it in operation. Also visited Hamilton Zoo, Stanwick Lakes and Grafton Water. Would definitely recommend the property and we hope to return soon
