It was such fun being in a light and airy living space - especially when the weather was warm and sunny and we could open the big doors onto the patio and sit in the small secluded garden - we managed to eat out all our meals out here for several days and enjoyed using our bird song identification app as we listened to a multitude of birds in the surrounding area. The village has a beautiful common and some nice walks to explore too. A relaxed stay all round.

The White Barn is excellent. We are always a little anxious when booking a new place to stay but once we entered The White Barn all concerns disappeared. It is absolutely wonderful. Every aspect of a stay has been thought through from on-site parking to milk in the 'fridge. The White Barn is on our list for a return visit when next in the area.

Claire’s White Barn was beautifully presented and exactly as shown online. Very private, clean and homey feeling. Host provided additional bedding when requested and nothing was any trouble. We were able to check in earlier than planned and leave later than needed. Very accommodating of the hosts. Enjoyed the peace, and not too far from amenities. Lovely stay

The White Barn is a perfect little hideaway for two. We arrived in the afternoon and found everthing well prepared. Claire gave us a warm welcome and hints for local supermarket and restaurants as well as places to visit. We had a wonderfull time and would love to come back. BTW: The pub nearby is very good but not open for dinner on monday.

We made an error in arriving a day too early. Luckily our host was in and the barn unoccupied. We very much appreciated how accommodating Claire & Cameron were for us. The Barn is exactly as described by others and was just great. Hilton is excellently located to tour out in all directions, we visited March, Ely, Cambridge (using the Park & Ride), all easily accessible. The village itself is charming and has a Grade 1 listed church and loads of green walking space.

All the way through from booking to check in and out, Claire’s communication was warm, clear and very helpful. We had a very comfortable three nights in the White Barn which is very well equipped. Our flight from Australia was messed around by the airline so travel time was extended. We were very grateful to flop into the comfortable bed and Claire put in extra effort to look after our needs when the travel time lengthened. We really appreciated the large soft towels and the tourist information leaflets and brochures provided. The little courtyard area is lovely but the weather was too cool for us to use it. We would highly recommend the White Barn.

The Village of Hilton is very serene and the White Barn is well located for nearby visits to Ely, Cambridge etc. The owner of the property was very pleasant. However the pictures do not reveal that this Barn! is actually situated immediately next go the road that runs through the village - the bedroom being nearest the road. Unfortunately the microwave had been missed when the pre clean took place (This was rectified by the owner). Otherwise everything one needed for a comfortable stay was supplied. A local shop 100 yards away supplied us with basics. Perhaps a fresh pint of milk would have been a nice gesture.

Nicest Barn I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping in😉

Nicest Barn I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping in😉

As soon as we booked Claire had a very informative message off to us, with directions into Cambridge as well as nearby services. Since we would be travelling for the better part of two days she suggested arriving earlier than the booking time. Unfortunately on leaving Heathrow our SATNAV had us in the wrong lane until it was too late (twice) and we ended up arriving after the preset check in time. Fortunately Claire was there to greet us. Upon entering you are greeted by a large spacious open concept room with windows onto a beautiful patio full of plants and flowers. The beds were comfortable and we managed to catch up on our sleep.

The property was lovely, was really neat and clean and you can just use a key box to get in which was really easy. The area is good but we did drive to another pub as Claire said the local one wasn’t that great - she did recommend others and the one we chose worked out well.

A very enjoyable stay in The White Barn. It was very clean and comfortable and well equipped for long or short stays. Claire was friendly and helpful, as were all the local people we spoke to. Arrival and departure were made very easy by there being a key safe and the little courtyard garden was a delight.

Cute Cottage Near Cambridge

Cute Cottage Near Cambridge

A sweet cottage, tucked into a cozy village, near Cambridge. My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this comfortable setting. It was close enough to visit Cambridge daily. We recommend walking through the church yard and green spaces and stopping in at the Prince of Wales Pub for a cider and fish & chips. I especially enjoyed sitting and reading in the garden. The only thing missing was a cat to cuddle with.
