15th Century Thatched Cottage

Good location.

Stairs very steep and only one handrail. No antislip mat or grab rails in bathroom given deepness of bath requiring us to climb in to use shower. En-suite facilities were not adequate. Heavy ill fitting modesty screen in one was a hazard easily tipping when we attempted to readjust position. Not enough cutting knives. TV picture constantly pixelating on terrestrial channels - had to use iPlayer to get BBC. Parking space difficult to access when car belonging to occupants of annexe property was in place. The many shallow steps between various rooms need to be highlighted with hazard tape.

Really like the authenticity of the house. it was warm and comfortable.

Hosts very helpful with an early check-in as we had a family party in the village in the afternoon and were grateful to be able to freshen up after long journeys. We had booked all 3 units and it worked very well for us as a family.

Little niggles which I've reported to owners. A problem with one of the beds and lighting in the which the owner has said they will look into.

The property was so lovely, as described. Very spacious for a cottage . We had a lovely stay there

I don’t think there was anything we didn’t like .

The owner is amazing, thank you for the lovely stay

The woodburn in the main room was great . The kitchen and bedrooms very great . Great to have a large cooker Location great for our needs

TV did not pickup many channels and the picture was pixelated. The heating could do with a timeclock to turn the heating on in the morning, so I did not have to run down the stairs to put it on .

violation of privacy the owner entered the property whilst we was asleep without prior notice

The property was spotless and had lost of character. It was comfortable and cosy and we had an excellent stay .

While it isn’t possible due to the annexes but a private place to sit out the back of an evening and maybe a curtain at the back door for when you come out of the shower. However none of the above lessens the enjoyment of our stay.

The location to Cambridge was fantastic as you can get the local bus into the city instead of driving. The village of cottonham had everything you need from shops pubs and a lovely Indian restaurant

The property could do with a few updates like a handrail over the bath new microwave/toaster oven on the right side hadn’t been cleaned properly. Also there should have been information about local places to visit and eateries. I left a few brochures when I left and a map of Cambridge for the next visitors
