An excellent place to base yourself if you wish to explore Cambridgeshire. Nice and quite with all the comforts of home. Two pubs serving food nearby and a large Tesco in Royston nearby. Don't want to say to much as I want to be able to book again. Verity is an excellent host, with no corners cut.

Second stay.. lovely barn

This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Little Barn. For ourselves this is a great place for the few night stays, to visit our daughter and partner in Cambridge. Verity is a great host, the fridge has all the essential items, plus some thought-out extras. All round excellent stay.

Cozy and convenient

The barn was very cozy and convenient to lots of sights in the area. The host was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and had a good range of brochures for local sights. The breakfast provisions were generous and tasty. A great place to stay and would recommend wholeheartedly.

Little Barn is a gem..

Little Barn is a gem. Although compact, it is extremely well appointed. Comfortable with everything guests would need for a stay. The small conservatory area, is an added bonus, a great space to relax and unwind. Lovely host, who is always keen to make sure guests enjoy the stay. Definitely would stay here in the future.

Sweet Cottage Near Cambridge

We had lots of privacy and access to the lovely, well cared for gardens. Verity offered a warm welcome and some snacks to keep us going during our two day stay. What a wonderful place to relax and experience the countryside outside of Cambridge. Easy access to the city and to the National Trust property nearby, along with walking and biking paths.

Lovely stay in Orwell

The main accomodation at Little Barn is quite compact ,but with the addition of the lovely sunroom,it is a lovely relaxing place to stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfast supplies, toiletries etc were of a high quality. Verity is a lovely hostess who went out of her way to assist us. We hope to return again soon

Perfect stay

Little Barn was the perfect stay to celebrate my hubby's 60th. Close to the Wimpole estate and a short drive from Cambridge. Little Barn had everything we needed and more. The host was welcoming and provided lots of literature and information about local places to visit. Our welcome goody package was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Perfect stay

We stayed here for two nights. From the moment we opened the door it had the wow factor. The room was clean, homely and very cosy. The host has literally thought of everything you might need from plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner and even shower gel as well as stocking the fridge up with fresh produce. Perfect spot and had a lovely time. We will definitely go back

Little Barn was a lovely place for a short break, it was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast items were of a good quality as were all the toiletries, we were very impressed. The location was idea for driving to the nearest park and ride into Cambridge and was very quiet. It was not warm enough for us to sit outside unfortunately but the garden looked beautiful. We would love to make a return visit in the summer.One small suggestion would be the provision of a sharp knife for cutting up fruit etc.

Quiet and very comfortable. Although I didn’t use it the local pub has a good reputation and there is a local Nisa. The continental breakfast provision was excellent. Limited cooking capability but fine if you are ok with microwavable meals.

A week in the little barn

The barn is perfect, for a couple looking for a tranquil, private setting, with a number of lovely pubs/restaurants near by with 1 in walking distance, another in the next village, and a lovely Italian only a couple of miles up the road, the National trust site at Wimpole is well worth a visit, and the city of cambridge via the park and ride is full of interesting sites. We had a very full week, and enjoyed our stay 100% helped by Verity, the hosts lovely accommodation and hospitality.
