The Details
Swap the city buzz for birdsong and big skies with a stay at The Old Dairy - a beautifully converted Grade II listed cottage nestled in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside. Just an hour from London, this gorgeous bolthole offers the best of both worlds: the peace and charm of rural life, with the culture and sophistication of historic Cambridge just a short drive away.
Step inside and you’ll find a perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort. Think exposed brick walls, wooden beams and a crackling log burner - all offset with soft, romantic interiors and luxe finishes. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and cosy nights in are always on the cards.
The living space is made for lounging, with plush furnishings arranged around the wood-burner - ideal for curling up with a good book (or someone special). The kitchen is full of character but kitted out with everything you need for fuss-free cooking, whether you're rustling up a lazy brunch or a candlelit dinner for two.
Upstairs, sink into a dreamy four-poster bed after a long soak in the roll-top bath - pure bliss after a day spent exploring rolling fields and charming villages. Light floods in through the windows by day, and at night, it’s all about soft lighting and starry skies.
Outside, you’ll find miles of countryside to wander, with chocolate-box villages and cosy country pubs nearby. The picturesque village of Horningsea is just down the road, home to the Crown and Punchbowl - a gastropub loved by locals for its hearty food and warm welcome.
And for a dose of city sophistication, the beautiful city of Cambridge is only three miles away. Discover independent shops, world-class museums, and, of course, the iconic River Cam - perfect for punting past historic college buildings and leafy banks.
