- "The barn was spotlessly clean, warm and very comfortable with the added cheer of a Christmas tree and welcome pack of a fruit bowl and milk. We weren't sure how a winter holiday just before Christmas would work out but we were blessed with mainly mild and sunny weather so managed to get out every day. We enjoyed the wild scape of Wicken Fen and saw Hen Harriers coming in at the roost, the Winter garden at Anglesey Abbey, Kingfisher Bridge nature reserve, Welney Wetlands (quite flooded) and a wander around Ely. We look forward to returning in the summer when hopefully we can enjoy sitting in the garden too. A very relaxing and enjoyable stay that exceeded expectations. Thank you!

- "Me, my husband and our 2 children (2 years and 4 months) had a lovely, comfortable stay. The host moved us to a different lodge as she didn't want the children to be woken by the other guests and the new lodge also had more space. Very considerate of her! We enjoyed a few swims in the hottub. A lovely little outdoor space provided too for outdoor socialising which is imagine would be lovely when a bit warmer. Would visit again, thank you!

- "This is a lovely, spacious and well-appointed house. It was too hot to make best use of the duvets, but the beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery - and a dishwasher to avoid the washing up. The powered recliners were especially welcome after a day of much walking. Naturally there is quite a lot of farm activity in the area, but it was far enough away not to be intrusive, and the people on the farm were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a property to remember."
