About this property

Cottage The Tack Room at Wallis Farm House

A characterful conversion comprising a sitting/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.
Wallis Farmhouse is a late Georgian farmhouse in the picturesque village of Hardwick. We provide a variety of self-catering accommodation, close to the city of Cambridge in England. The house stands in extensive gardens adjoining our meadows and woodland, which border the Wimpole Way. Hardwick is 5 miles from the university city of Cambridge, and 15 miles from Ely and Newmarket.

We have six individual self-catering Barns and Cottage at Wallis Farm, each with its own unique character, and offering a variety of accommodation for two to four people. The first three are in a converted barn across the courtyard from the Farmhouse. Many of the original features of the building have been retained, and the rooms are furnished and equipped to a high standard. The second three are in modern L- shaped building and have views over the gardens and farmland. One Cottage has been adapted with a ramp for wheelchair access and a bathroom modified for people with mobility problems. All our accommodation has gas central heating with TV and internet access. Towels and Linen is provided.

Immaculate barn conversion for two near Cambridge

Our accommodation was one of three units in a barn conversion opposite the welcoming and helpful owners farm house. The property was spotless, well-equipped, warm (November stay), cosy and peaceful with a car parking space adjacent. The very comfortable king-sized bed and fluffy towels were much appreciated. We were ten minutes drive from Madingley Road park and ride with buses every ten minutes into Cambridge town centre.

Not at all Tacky!!

Stayed in the former Tack Room on the farm - hence the title! Very well converted and fitted to high standard. Ample parking and short stroll to the pub. Shame about the weather though!

Quiet and very comfortable

Convenient for Cambridge and our family which lives nearby. We did very little food prep just eating breakfast as we were out with the family most of the time. We will probably be back next year.

A welcoming, cozy and comfy place

We stayed in the Tack Room. The rooms are very clean and the grounds are beautiful and well kempt. The kitchen is tiny - just fine for tea , coffee, breakfast and some basic cooking. It was nice to find some tea, coffee, sugar and milk left for us. Pleasnt interiors with plenty of space for organising things. Extremely comfy bed! It was quite cold weather but heating worked well. The is owner is very friendly and helpful. Perfect place for visiting Cambrige. Will come again. Thank you Will.

Warm and comfortable accommodation

We have stayed in the Tack Room previously so knew that we would be happy for our week there. Facilities are just right for our needs, and then there are the beautiful grounds to wander in.
