Second stay.. lovely barn

This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Little Barn. For ourselves this is a great place for the few night stays, to visit our daughter and partner in Cambridge. Verity is a great host, the fridge has all the essential items, plus some thought-out extras. All round excellent stay.

Perfect little gem

The Little Barn was just perfect for our needs. Situated less than a mile from The Wimpole Estate which we were visiting. Excellent eating just 150 yds down the road, so all in all perfection. Your host, Verity, could not be any more helpful, thoughtful and kind. The barn itself is newly refurbished and of very high quality. So if you need accommodation in Cambridge area you won't go far wrong staying here.

Beautiful little barn

Had a wonderful couple of nights at Little Barn. Verity was very welcoming and left me a birthday card which was a lovely touch. We were grateful for the milk, fruit, bread, tea, cereal etc and the Barn itself is beautifully decorated. There is a small conservatory you walk into which the main house also has access to, so although you’re quite close to the owners house, you still felt apart as Verity closed her door and pulled her curtain across to give each other some privacy. About 30 minutes from Cambridge but not a lot going on around the area for us (depends what you’re into I guess). Good local pub 2 minutes walk away. Barn was beautiful, the only fault I had was there was no mirror to do your hair in the morning (that’s being picky), but would recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely stay in Orwell

The main accomodation at Little Barn is quite compact ,but with the addition of the lovely sunroom,it is a lovely relaxing place to stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfast supplies, toiletries etc were of a high quality. Verity is a lovely hostess who went out of her way to assist us. We hope to return again soon
