Family-friendly vacation rentals in Great Shelford

The White Cottage is a truly magical experience, and combined with Sally’s as the perfect host, we came away from our short break with memories that will last a lifetime. The location is breathtakingly peaceful. A garden within a garden set in landscape where time has good still. The stream that runs through garden is a playground for wildlife and you’ll be sharing your breakfast with ducks and moorhens. If you want a break oozing peace and quiet, a chance to unwind, and forget the day to day life the white cottage has it spades. Sally is a delightful host. Nothing is too much trouble. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. We loved it

Beautiful home in an excellent location. We recently stayed as a party of 10 for a hen do weekend. The house had everything we could need, very spacious but offered a cosy feel. All was clean and tidy. Anna was a great host, very friendly and responsive. I would happily recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside and the grounds were even better. I booked this for my mum 60th birthday and we all had an incredible time. All rooms were beautiful with a lovely kitchen too, even better the welcome pack they leave you. The wrap around veranda was the highlight for us, we spent most of the days on that with the hot tub, we were lucky enough to have good weather so we could really make the most of it. The fishing lake was lovely my partner fished and enjoyed it. The owner was always happy to answer any questions whenever I needed them. Thankyou so much.

lovely accommodation great communication with host :)

Beautiful gardens quaint cottage. Annex rustic and serviceable. Different pictures on line. Courtyard looked very different as did the funiture in the front room. The bathroom needs updating bit too rustic for me but thats my opinion. Very comfortable and outside is outstanding.

We had a wonderful weekend stay the Pumphouse. The property is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, spacious with pristine bedrooms and bathrooms. The open plan living space is perfect for entertaining. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful with lovely walks. David was a brilliant host, friendly, responsive, helpful and did his absolute best when we had a unexpected problem with the alarm system. We would definitely rebook!

We had the most magical stay at this stunning countryside home for a bachelorette celebration, hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The house is beautifully designed, warm, and had everything we could’ve needed and more. Set in the most picturesque spot, with rolling field views full of yellow flowers, it truly felt like the ultimate countryside escape. The open-plan kitchen and living area was perfect for our intimate dinner party, spacious yet cosy, and ideal for gathering as a group. Each bedroom had its own charm and was so comfortable and inviting. Outside, the garden was just as beautiful, and the hot tub was a total highlight! The attention to detail throughout the property made it feel really special, and the overall experience felt both luxurious and homely. Communication with the host was seamless and so helpful from start to finish. We’re already dreaming about our return!

Had a fantastic weekend here celebrating for a hen weekend! The place was perfect to accommodate a large group, big enough for communal socialising but also enough private spaces. Cathy was fantastic at communicating and was happy to provide extras where needed. Brilliant location, stunning views and easy to get to Cambridge centre! Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay in a luxurious house with all the amenities that you could want. Beautifully decorated and very spacious. Recommended

A great secret cottage! Smack bang in the middle of a lovely village high street, with a nice pub and an impressive looking Indian restaurant, plus cafes and a few other shops.

Brilliant location as we were attending a friend’s wedding at Longstowe Hall. The cottage itself was immaculate and cozy - we felt at home straight away. We were travelling with our baby daughter and the cottage had everything we needed for her. Would definitely recommend and wish we had been able to stay longer.

A lovely cabin in a beautiful setting with chickens and ducks all around. We loved playing cricket and the kids had a great time in the woods. The cabin itself was lovely - spacious and had everything you needed. The fresh bread and eggs was a lovely touch too. We struggled a little bit with streaming videos with the Wi-Fi - but otherwise a fabulous place. I’d recommend dinner at the Bell Inn down the road - dog friendly and lovely homemade food!

Lovely place, very well kept. Ruben was always responded in a timly mannor. A very good find!

Lovely, relaxing stay here with 3 adults and 2 dogs. The house was beautifully decorated and felt very homely. Beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided. Netflix available on TV and a secluded garden to sit in if you wanted to. Even though the property is in the owners garden, it felt very private. Lots of walking to be found in the National Trust garden and woodland, which is right behind the house. We ate at the dog friendly Six Bells pub 5 minutes down the road and the food and service were excellent. Thank you to the hosts for a wonderful stay.

A wonderful stay at Marc’s place in Grafham. It’s a great location with local amenities and lovely places to walk. The lodge is surrounded by trees and really peaceful. We hope to return!

All good; apart from us forgetting about the ‘hidden ‘ drawer’ which houses the cutlery! Might be worth putting an indicator to this for idiots like me who had completely forgotten about it despite having been there before.

My boys and I had a wonderful stay at Barley Cottage. Stephen and Philip are amazing hosts, super friendly, very knowledgeable of the area and great conversation. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower was great. Water Newton is an idyllic little village just a stones throw from Peterborough, but a world away! We loved every minute of our time there.

We were greeted well upon arrival. They showed and explained everything. We were also lucky to see beautiful peacocks on the territory. The house corresponds to the description and photos. There is a good sauna, a large pool and there is a passage from a small goubina to a large one. The jacuzzi is also large. Everything is clean and neat, we liked it, the child is delighted, we will definitely come again.🙃

Lovely place with great facilities and Wendy was so nice and welcoming.

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The hosts are fantastic and the lovely warm pool is great to play in with the kids. You can even go fishing at the end of their garden ( which I took full advantage of!!) or just relax with a glass of wine and sit looking over the river. We look forward to returning next year.

Stephen is amazing, personable, responsive, ready with helpful actionable suggestions if you need them . The place itself is on a beautiful , riverside property, with beautifully maintained garden, swimming pool. It is 10 minutes drive from Peterborough and 25 minutes form Stomford, and has many trails and walks around that you can explore.

Lovely home, felt very comfortable there- we had 4 children between 4 adults, and it felt like a lived in house- therefore we were not panicked about the children just being children!! The pool was a lovely temperature and our children enjoyed it thoroughly. House nice and warm, kitchen and lounge area which overlooks the swimming pool were a real hub of the home- a very nice space. All in all a great find for when we need to be in Hertfordshire! We would stay again.

This house was the highlight of our trip! Lucy was the best host and we loved the environment: the beautiful garden full of flowers, the welcoming swimming pool, and the comfy accommodation. All quiet and relaxing!
