Fabulous find

We were in the area as family live that way. The host was very accommodating when we asked if our family members could join us for the evening. The shepherds hut and its positioning was everything we needed for a perfect stay. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

A fabulous weekend

14 of us enjoyed a family weekend in The Old Cart Barn and The Granary set in the most beautiful countryside. On arrival Laura, the owner, met us and was very helpful. Our enclosed garden was ideal for our 2 dogs. The kitchens in both buildings were very well equipped with everything we needed and there was plenty of seating for all of us in The Old Cart Barn both inside and out. We all had dinner on Saturday night at The Fox and Hounds in nearby Riseley which was delicious. We highly recommend this accommodation and would wouldn’t hesitate to return.

An incredible stay!

Wow what an incredible house, the pictures don’t do it justice in the slightest. Me and my friends had an incredible stay here, the beds were super comfy, the house was so well equipped, incredibly designed with attention to detail (we all agreed we felt like it was a grand designs house!) and Jess and Rob were amazing, accomodating hosts. We added the woodland spa which we enjoyed all day, an absolute must in our opinion! The perfect house for a Hen, birthday, celebration or chilled weekend with friends or family! We all agreed we would definitely be back! Thanks again Jess and Rob :) x

Lovely cosy place in a gorgeous little town

Lovely cottage, perfect for the 2 of us plus our doggies. Communication before and during was fabulous and we really appreciated the early check in after a long drive. Loved the little touches too, like fresh bread, cereal, etc. Kimbolton is lovely, with lots of nice little walks on the doorstop. Highly recommended. Thank you. We will be back 😊
