“Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and very well equipped - everything you need.”

Cottage is situated in a peaceful rural spot but well placed for exploring the lovely area. Lovely conservatory which overlooks arable land, plenty of wildlife to see from the cottage. Owner Nicky left some lovely welcome gifts including a delicious home made cake, she was very approachable and helpful, making some excellent suggestions for places to visit. I would particularly recommend Gooderstone Water Gardens and Kingfishers Bridge. ...

Owner Nicky left some lovely welcome gifts including a delicious home made cake, she was very approachable and helpful, making some excellent suggestions for places to visit. I would particularly recommend Gooderstone Water Gardens and Kingfishers Bridge. I have noticed that previous visitors commented on poor tv signal and wifi; we had no problems at all. Excellent cottage, we hope to return

“Hawthorn Cottage was very cosy and everything we could have wished for was provided!”

(For anyone who enjoys watching TV the signal is very poor but i-player was available to keep us in touch with the news etc. Also a couple of teenagers each with a device would challenge the Wifi)! The sun room used for dining had great views across the Fens and we loved watching the wildlife and garden birds. Within easy driving distance are Ely, Cambridge, Newmarket and St Ives. Lots to explore. Nicky was a super host, very welcoming and attentive to every detail in the cottage. We would certainly book Hawthorn Cottage in the future.

About the location

LITTLEPORT

Welney 6 miles; Ely 7 miles.

Littleport is the largest village in East Cambridgeshire and is set on the banks of the River Ouse, approximately 6 miles north of Ely and 6 miles south-east of Welney. The historic village of Littleport has a range of amenities including pubs, shops and a leisure centre. The area surrounding Littleport is low lying and is home to the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) reserve in the Ouse Washes, the winter home of thousands of swans and ducks from northern Europe and the Arctic. Also close by is the RSPB reserve at Ouse Washes which has walks across the wet grasslands, and the historic city of Ely with its museums and Oliver Cromwell's house is just a short drive away. The village of Littleport is a wonderful base for a holiday exploring Cambridgeshire.
