This is one of the best homes we have rented- it has a lovely welcoming feel. The house is thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need without being cluttered. The good sized garden is secure, not overlooked, has outdoor furniture and a clothes line! Although it was extremely hot (mid 30s) while we were visiting, the house stayed acceptably cool. Parking on the property is good (we had one car but two could fit). The location of the house is fantastic. The walk across the meadows to Cambridge is beautiful and Grantchester itself is so pretty. The three pubs/restaurants in the village are all terrific but the Blue Ball in particular deserves a repeat visit. The food is terrific (including for vegetarians), and sitting in the shady garden on a warm evening was most relaxing.The host, Amy, was quick to reply to all communications and very accommodating. The information provided for guests in the house was very helpful.Many places that claim to be pet friendly are not- they only allow dogs. If you travel with a well behaved female cat this is most frustrating and we were grateful Amy accommodated us and our cat.We would definitely stay again.
