Brilliant- house had everything that we needed and Lyn was super helpful. The garden is marvellous and the village has tennis courts and table tennis tables and a great park for kids ( plus a shop and two pubs). Easy to get into Cambridge and the guided bus was excellent!

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage! The accommodation was spacious and very clean.The living room was comfortable, and opens onto a large garden. We only met Lyn briefly when we arrived, but she was very welcoming, and we were always able to contact her via email if we needed to. Needingworth itself is quite small, but St Ives is only a few minutes away. Cambridge, Ely and Wicken Fen are all about 30 mins drive. A great place to stay if you enjoy peace and quiet and would like to explore the Cambridge area. We would definitely stay here again!

Lyn was very helpful and assisted in every imaginable way. I very much regret that I couldn't spend more time in the lovely garden.

This bungalow is very spacious but in need of some TLC. The garden has many trees which in our opinion are in need of a visit from an arborist. They cut out a lot of light to the property. Unfortunately whilst we were there , we had quite a lot of rain overnight which overflowed the gutters and noisily dropped on the window sill. The owner did come round and did his best to fix it . The location is very good for exploring the area, lots to do within an hour or so drive , the cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable.

Excellent
The Cottage and wonderful garden had everything we needed and more! We were comfortable even during the 40°C heatwave. It was a great base to explore the area and very handy for Cambridge. Many thanks to owner Lyn for advice and very thoughtfully and well appointed cottage.

Perfect place for area
Our stay at Lyn and Eric’s place was the perfect accommodation for our family of five. The house is very spacious, we were all able to have a space to go to for some time alone. It was great to have two toilets and a huge full bathroom. The kitchen is supplied with everything you need to cook and store groceries. The garden is absolutely beautiful and great for a tea or coffee and to sit out in the sun. The area is beautiful with close proximity to shops and restaurants and nature preserves to explore. Obviously, Cambridge is not too far. Overall, when we are able to return to visit our family and friends we hope to reserve the Cottage again. Thank you Lyn and Eric.

A comfortable, spacious bungalow that had an equally spacious garden in which wildlife was a feature - birds and the occasional grey squirrel, all located in a quite village.

Well needed break
We needed a quiet and relaxing week away and that is exactly what The Cottage provided. Spacious, peaceful and very comfortable with a lovely surrounding garden. Several good places to eat nearby and interesting places to visit within easy reach. Very pleased with our choice.

Great location; comfortable and cosy property
This property is in a great location for exploring the Fen region including Ely and Cambridge. The village has a well stocked shop and access to fenland walks and a marina (with accompanying seals). There are some beautiful nearby villages and access to some wonderfully interesting walks. It's well worth hiring a boat to explore the waterways. The property has a lovely, large and private garden and the house is very comfortable and well appointed, providing everything you need (particularly within the kitchen) for making you feel at home.

What a great place to stay, great location with access to anywhere. Plenty of restaurants within easy reach. Cottage itself is very comfortable and has plenty of space. The gardens are superb we saw a deer in the early morning and a fox in the late evening, great place just to sit and relax. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Second Time Round
The property is ideal for the elderly as it is a bungalow. The access is a bit uneven but manageable with care. The bungalow is home from home with all the equipment you would use at home.

Lovely week and a magical garden
We had a lovely week staying in this cosy cottage. The cottage itself is lovely and has everything you need, plus very spacious. The jewel is the garden, it is such a lovely garden!

Quiet, restful holiday in charming English village
We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying outside cambridge in this cottage. It was roomy and comfortable with everything we needed to regather energy after 3 weeks travelling around Europe. We could wash clothes and enjoy some of our one home-cooked meals after living in hotels and out of a suitcase for so long. The cottage is charming, and we also felt complete privacy and room to celebrate Christmas as a family. Cambridge was not too far, but was also a good central spot to get around to other parts of England. A great stay overall.

Excellent stay at the cottage Needingworth
The cottage is extremely well presented. and equipped. It is very spacious and has a lovely large private garden with patio and summerhouse which we were able to take full advantage of due to the lovely weather we had.
The owners were very friendly and helpful and sorted out a problem with the boiler extremely quickly, within two hours of reporting it. Would definitely stay here again if holidaying in this area.

Spacious, beautifully maintained bungalow with private garden
We used the bungalow as a base to visit the region. With its wonderfully spacious layout and beautiful gardens we could easily have spent our days at base camp! The property is very well equipped and what ever we needed, we found. We were lucky to have been blessed with some beautiful weather so even after full days out and about we could relax late afternoon in the garden with a glass or two of wine. The sound of ‘barking’ from local muntjac deer and the call of the occasional cuckoo only helped to make the end of the days even more special. We would most certainly recommend this property to others.

Very well equipped and extremely tidy bungalow
We had a lovely time in the bungalow despite some horrible weather. Nearly everything you could think of is provided and it's really very large. The garden is great and it was a pity we couldn't get out into it more. Very helpful communication before our visit to arrange travel cot and z bed for our children. There's a huge new Morrisons supermarket a few minutes down the road (with petrol) on the outskirts of St Ives and a Waitrose a bit further.

Beautiful property clean,well decorated, comfortable, very well equipped and quiet location
We would recommend this property 100% for its quality and amazing location , its includes all the the things that make it not only a house but a home from home. The minute you walk through the door you know your stay is going to be an enjoyable experience, and the owner was there to answer any questions you may have about both the house or info about the surrounding area . She proved to be so friendly and helpful especially when I needed company when worried about my husband who'd had a major op at Papworth Hospital a 20 mins drive away .
The nearest large supermarket is only 5 mins drive and nearby St Ives is a beautiful bustling market town and of course the park and ride for Cambridge is 10 mins drive away . So for me a perfect property, perfect location wonderful welcome
Thank you Lyn
