Inside, the open-plan living area feels warm and welcoming, complete with a wood burner and large patio doors that fill the space with natural light and lead out to a private patio garden. It's an ideal spot for relaxing with coffee in the morning or enjoying an evening after a day exploring. The well-appointed kitchen blends modern convenience with a homely feel, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your stay at your own pace.

Although the cottage feels delightfully tucked away, everything you need is within easy reach. Local shops, cafés and the railway station are close enough to walk to, and the vibrant university city of Cambridge is only a short drive away. Excellent transport links make it simple to plan days out in nearby Peterborough or even London, giving guests the best of both worlds — peaceful countryside living with access to exciting culture and history whenever you choose.
The Potting Shed allows 1 small dog.
Specifically, dogs up to 25 lb / 11 kg (approx.) are considered suitable.
If your dog is larger than that, they ask you to contact them first to discuss suitability.
