Welcoming Cottage

Lovely house in beautiful surroundings. Garden is just lovely and it’s so very private. In nice rural area with very easy access to larger towns and many National Trust buildings to enjoy. Would definitely stay there again if ever in the area. Very much appreciated the bottle of wine and the cookies left for us by the owners, Lyn and Eric who were so very nice and made us feel welcome.

A cute cottage with great hosts

We stayed for just under 3 weeks and had a lovely stay. A really charming and cute little cottage, hidden away behind the main street in Kimbolton. Though the kitchen is very compact, the air fryer and induction stove meant we could make some meals, and everything else about the cottage is cozy and welcoming. The hosts are great, and Rebecca was always very swift to respond to any questions or requests. Highly recommended.
