The nearest railway station is in Huntingdon, 11 miles (approximately 20 minutes away). The nearest shops are in Sawtry, 2 miles away.

The Old Farmhouse and Maid's Cottage are situated on the edge of the farmyard of our working arable farm. A short walk down the drive and you can walk or cycle the miles of bridleways and footpaths around and beyond the farm.
You will need a car or taxi to access the property, the surrounding towns and villages.
The Old Farmhouse adjoins our smaller holiday home, known as The Maid's Cottage. If you are looking for extra room, the cottage provides a separate living, dining and cooking space as well as a full bathroom, bedroom with king sized bed and its own hot tub, in its enclosed garden. There is a double sofa bed for additional guests. As the gardens are separated only by a high fence, booking The Maid's Cottage additionally provides you with extra privacy from noise, even if you don't require the additional space.
