Lovely quiet location, in a huge garden. Chalet very clean, spacious and well equipped, with large TV, fridge, large double hob and microwave. Two double beds, in chalet no. 2 (one in a separate room) Just a few minor decor issues, such as paintwork needing a touch up and a small hole next to the toilet. Good quality table and chairs, wardrobe, sideboard and bedside tables and lamps, giving ample storage and cosy lighting. Hosts very welcoming and helpful...Simon even come out to rescue us from a large spider, around 10.30 pm. Would definitely stay again. Great value for money and great location for local attractions.

Spacious accommodation with a nice garden view, we saw the deer several times and the kids loved that. The oven is in need of replacement and the utensils were a bit flimsy and burned by careless previous guests. The shower was great and overall a very pleasant change from the usual dull hotel, would definitely recommend this lodge.

Great little chalet / bed-and-breakfast situated right next to Cambridge (about 10 mins drive). The place is quiet and peaceful with large rooms, plenty of amenities, and amazing showers. Each chalet is private and self-contained with a kitchen and cooking facilities. The owners are friendly and easy to get along with.

Such a lovely peaceful location, we even saw 3 muntjac outside the lodge in the morning. We only stayed one night but would happily go back and stay longer as it was well equipped if you wanted to self-cater. Very clean and comfortable. Lorraine the host was friendly and accommodating.
