The Bull pen is perfectly located for exploring the Cambridge area especially IWM Duxford. The building itself is fitted out above and beyond what you would expect. This was completed by the incredible welcome and support of Sally. Never head any farm noise....honest.

Our stay at the Bullpen was exceptional. The facilities were comprehensive, the accommodation outstandingly clean and comfortable. Quite honestly the reality is better than the photos! the outlook was rural but Cambridge was in easy reach. ~It was great to know our hosts were nearby but their presence was certainly not intrusive at any time. We would certainly stay again - Thank you.

You won’t find a better place to stay if you’re looking to stay in the Cambridgeshire countryside. The Bullpen is beautifully located on the owners’ farm. The property is spacious, immaculately maintained, and very well equipped. Sally was very helpful in making our stay a wonderful one and was very responsive to our questions. The location is convenient for getting to Cambridge, and having a supermarket 5 minutes away was very convenient. A wonderful place to stay!

A spacious, comfortable, well-equipped cottage with high end appliances and everything we could possibly need to make our stay easy and comfortable. Communicating with Sally was easy and she responded quickly. All in all, a great experience.

The weekend started with a lovely warm welcome from Sally the owner. Sally had earlier provided really useful information about the local eating places. We had a family gathering with members from across the country. The Barn is cosy, comfortable, clean, everything was as described online. We had a fantastic weekend. One to enjoy.

We had an excellent stay in Bourn at the bullpen and would highly recommend. The property itself is well thought out and very comfortable, the location is incredible, loved waking up to the bull/cows nearby. Five stars.

This is our 2nd time staying at the Bull Pen, something we've not done before. It felt wonderfully familiar and yet we had new places to explore. The farm shop has some excellent choices for eating 'at home'. Sally goes out of her way to make you feel welcome, but equally leaves you free to enjoy the space. Recommend for friend and family stays.
