Cottage vacation rentals in South Cambridgeshire District

We'd just sold our house of 22 years and needed somewhere to stay for a few days and I was in such muddle I'd not even looked in any detail at where we were staying so arriving at Bethnal and Becs was a lovely surprise. Everything was luxury and quality. Chris and Vicky put a lot of energy and love into making the stay there relaxing. We loved the amazing double shower and the outside bath. Great walk to the Jolly Waggoners pub nearby. We hope to have an excuse to come back.

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

The Old Farmhouse was one of the best equipped Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in. We particularly loved the hot tub and the four ponies/donkeys. Although you can walk around the fields surrounding the house, you have to drive to Finchingfield for food and drink etc. We had a Sainsbury’s supermarket delivery which worked well.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

I booked Swallows Roost for the night before my wedding and the evening of. The accommodation was amazing. It was perfect for me, my bridal party and suppliers to get ready and feel relaxed and at home. Lucy and her family were so accommodating. Everything was stress free and easy. The downloadable guide was amazing, everything was covered, even the things I hadn’t considered including where the local EV chargers were. We can’t wait to book to stay again to spend our wedding anniversary next year! We would recommend Swallows Roost to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay in sunny Suffolk.

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Watching the stars in the hot tub with an owl flying over was particularly magical.

The Little Owl is our favourite Air B&B find so far. The property was absolutely beautiful and unique. The garden area was stunning, not to mention the incredible views! Hayley was a lovely host, thank you for having us!

We had a lovely stay in Willow cottage. It is extremely comfortable and well kitted out, I can’t think of anything missing. Everything in the kitchen we needed, including staples such as condiments and oil, even decaf coffee and rubber gloves. The only small hiccup was reversing out of the small parking place, my husband had to guide me out, stopping the traffic 😆. Fortunately we only had to do that once when we left, as it was an easy short walk to the centre of town. We even got the train to Cambridge, easy 👍.

We loved stay at Pea Cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The setting was picturesque and relaxing, you can tell that a lot of effort has gone into making this stay memorable. Andrew has been great and provided us with plenty of recommendations. We would love to stay again, thank you so much!

A stunning place. A beautiful and peaceful garden. Lots of wildlife deer, hares, etc. Super comfortable beds.

Great host with a clean, bright property, good location! The fresh flowers and welcome pack on arrival were lovely and much appreciated !

Lovely cottage, bang in the middle of town, lotsa local walks and nice delis/pubs/shops. Downsides? None. We’ll be back.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage after our wedding! Check in instructions were clear and it was extremely useful being able to self check-in, which in our case was late in the evening. The cottage is charming and full of character, perfect for a couples weekend away with walks and lovely pubs in close vicinity. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathroom was spotlessly clean with ample hot running water. The bed was comfortable and staying here you really feel like you are escaping to somewhere peaceful. The hosts were great in their communication up to and including our stay and really went the extra mile to add some special touches and make us feel so welcome as we celebrated our big day. Overall we had a fantastic stay and were sad to leave - I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Peaceful stay at this lovely very large house. Kids were well catered for with the games room and big garden with swings. Everything with spotless and Catherine was so helpful. We loved it

Just returned from a wonderful stay at the Barn Annexe. Our stay was perfect. The annexe is clean , very comfortable, peaceful and a beautiful location . We really rated the annexe and would love to return. If you want a perfect restful place to stay this is the one. Plus our dog loved the massive garden as did we. Highly recommended. Thanks Jon and Zoe for being perfect hosts .

The Acorn was a wonderful place to stay. Wildlife nearby with many lovely nature walks. But shops were also nearly which was convenient. The Acorn is a fabulous little cottage with all that you need - Lionel and Helen were the best hosts always attentive. After leaving I forgot the firestick remote and they sent it back the next day! We will definitely come again.

Robin and Jenny's cottage is an oasis of privacy and calm set in the centre of a beautiful city. Just a two minute walk from Ely Cathedral, the cottage has been created from the outhouses of an elegant Georgian house. The cottage is full of character and decorated with tasteful antiques. The beds were really comfortable and, as the cottage is set away from the road, our nights were peaceful. There is an artisan baker just over the road from the cottage which meant fresh croissants for breakfast each day.... bliss! There is a small garden that is totally private, a real haven.

I had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect: close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. I especially appreciated the little thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel extra welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We loved staying at The Old Dairy for our mini moon with our dog. The weather was glorious (slightly too hot!) and it made the surroundings even more beautiful! The outside area was perfect to relax in and we used the BBQ a few times. It was lovely knowing our dog was completely safe and secure and he loved playing in the garden. The walk to the local pub was easy and took around 20mins, it was friendly with a great selection of drinks. We did the park & ride based on Mitzi’s recommendation to get into Cambridge which was very simple and quick. The recommendations left for us were really helpful. The place had everything we needed and the pictures don’t do it justice, we would love to visit again and explore more of the local walks in cooler weather. It was exactly what we needed to relax.

The Annex is lovely, quirky, spacious and comfortable. The garden was great for the dogs too and we were all made to feel very welcome. We will revisit soon, thanks for being such great hosts. :0)

Would stay again. Very clean and well equipped. We had a toddler with us and she settled no issue, she played outside in the little courtyard. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The only downfall is we couldn’t walk anywhere safely with a toddler as there is no footpath and vehicles travel along the road at speed but overall it’s a lovely place to stay.

Debs and Lucy are great hosts and we really enjoyed our stay at Drake Cottage. Set in a lovely quiet part of Saffron Walden but within walking distance to the the town which is full of great shops and amenities. The cottage is fully equipped with everything to make it the perfect stay. I thought the bathrobes were a nice touch. We will definitely be making a return visit.

We stayed at Lauren and Tim’s for a week, perfect base to explore the area and all the magic it has to offer. Wonderful countryside walks, close to the station and a gorgeous family +furry friend to look after you. We would certainly stay here again and highly recommend to others 😊
