Great Easter break
The cottage is very pleasant and chaming, with lovely wooden floors. There was plenty of space for 3 of us. It was very relaxing. We all loved the cottage and it's location in Granchester, so near the meadows and easy walk/cycle to Cambridge Tess could not be more helpful, as we wanted to bring our bikes and was very flexible with our arrival/leave times (I know this might not be possible at busier times). Granchester is a beautiful village with great pubs (we tried 2 of them) and walks. We enjoyed cycling to Cambridge (a mile or so away), and also the nearest supermarket is a few minutes away by bike or car.

Cute flat in a quiet loction, walking distance from Cambridge.
Compact, but clean and functional. Across the street from greenspace with walking trails. Owner lives near by so easy and good communication. A nice place to unwind at the end of the day.

The cottage was exactly as advertised—comfortable, attractive, and tidy. The village is beautiful and Cambridge is just a lovely walk through the meadows using public footpaths. Tess was a kind and helpful host.

A Hidden Gem in Grantchester
Tess the owner was lovely, friendly and helpul. The cottage is a superb gem with many extras, clean and comfortable. in a beautiful location with glorious views from the front garden patio. Grantchester has numerous walks and public footpaths. Delicious meals in the local pubs and The Orchard Tea Garden merits a visit. 15 minutes on the bus to Cambridge and we had no reason to move our car after we parked up in front of the property. We had a relaxing midweek break and would recomend staying here.

Perfect in idyllic setting
Firstly, Tess was a wonderful owner who was very responsive but not intrusive. The cottage is delightful, spotlessly clean and very thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. Kitchen appliances and crockery, heating, bathroom, bedding and sofas were all great. Bookshelves contained a well curated array of books. All in all, a lovely place to stay in a charming village with thatched houses, tea rooms and 3 pubs
