Churchside offers the perfect place for a relaxing holiday and a great location from which to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside and local sights with easy access to London and Cambridge for day visits.

About Bridget Featherstone
Churchside Guest Apartment is the self contained annex to Churchside House. My family and I have lived at Churchside for the last four years but it has only been in the spring of this year when we decided to rent out the apartment for holidays. We hope that it will provide a good base for happy holidays in the area, it certainly is a fabulous area to live in and we think it is would also be a great area to holiday in.
Bridget Featherstone purchased this apartment in 2009
Guestbook comments from the owner
John and Julie June 2013 (2 nights): We enjoyed our stay here, has everything you need. Clean and modern. The garden area was really sweet and pretty. Very confortable stay and would recommend to friends and family. Bridget was lovely and welcoming.
Jan and Paul July 2013 (7 nights): We needed somewhere quiet and this was ideal. I did some lovely walks with the dog as advised by Jeremy, We will certainly be back as we were made to feel very welcome. Thank you both.

Perfeito!!!!!
Sítio perfeito para relaxar, casa limpa e organizada! A dona da casa muito atenciosa muito simpática, sempre pronta para ajudar, nos adoramos tudo, tanto que estamos a planejar voltarmos lá.
Wonderful contained and homely annexe, perfect for couples
Bridget was a very welcoming and accommodating owner. There were beautiful and personal touches, Bridget generously provided biscuits, lovely fresh fruit, milk and even treats for our dog. This was gratefully appreciated. The annexe is perfect, spotlessly clean, light, private, quiet and spacious. My husband and I have stayed in various different cottages and we can say quite earnestly that it was a joy and pleasure to stay here. The annexe has every mod con you could need and think of. Bridget has put a lot of thought into this annexe to ensure the comfort of her guests. We personally thanked Bridget for all her efforts, they are deeply appreciated. The courtyard garden was great, we enjoyed hearing the birds and resident woodpecker.
We will be booking again for a longer stay. It is central to most places and has a lot of fabulous nature walks.
The property was clean and adequately furnished .
We had thought the property was more spacious when we booked . The only easily available area to eat was in the kitchen seated at a breakfast bar on rickety stools - not a good choice for pensioners ! The weather turned cold , the heater in the living room blew out unpleasant dust and smell when turned on , this appeared to be the only heating we could obtain . There was a washing machine but absolutely no means of drying anything , even our sopping wet outdoor gear after a day of walking in heavy rain . The bag for food waste under the sink was full by Monday (we eat a lot of fruit /veg ) - fortunately we were able to put this out for collection ourselves on Wednesday as the other bins were outside the gate . There were only two sauce pans for the hob top , as I am vegetarian and my husband is not , we cook separate food , two pans are not adequate. Altogether I feel it was an expensive property that did not live up to its billing .... Sorry !
Home from home
Plenty of room, despite its size; very comfortable furnishings and bed; well equipped kitchen; good sized tv; bright and airy, with nice views and peaceful setting. Cambridge, Saffron Walden, Bury St Edmunds and Long Melford within easy distance on relatively quiet roads. All in all, everything a self catering place should be.
Excellent
An ideal small holiday home, great walking and location.
Beautiful
I very much enjoyed my stay at Churchside apartment. Very modern, clean and presentable. Had everything I needed to make my stay enjoyable. Bridget was very helpful at all stages and always replied to every message or quiry we had. Will 100% consider Churhside in the future. Thank you Bridget!
