Olea Tree House

The property was well equipped and clean

We visited during a hot spell in July for a family wedding and the accommodation was extremely hot and almost unbearable! We requested a second fan for the bedroom but this was not forthcoming. When we arrived the curtains were all open and the sun was shining in making the bedroom reach a temperature of 29.5c which was extremely uncomfortable, it reduced to 26.5 in the evening when we got back from the wedding but this was still too hot for sleeping comfortably! I would not recommend booking this property during the summer especially if you’re in your 60’s as we were!!

Good location close to Park and Ride for Cambridge and the beautiful Trumpington Meadows are a couple of minutes walk away. Quiet area , felt secure . King size beds excellent.

As the weather was very hot during our stay and there is no aircon it would be good to have fans available in the bedrooms.

Location was absolutely perfect to get the park & ride into the city.

The shower temperature control was difficult to get a comfortable heat. Apart from that everything was great 👍

I would highly recommend this house, including for travellers with children. A high chair and a sleeping arrangement for a child were thoughtfully provided. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary utensils, which made it easy to prepare breakfasts, even for a toddler. The large refrigerator was also particularly useful. The bedding was clean, and the beds were spacious and comfortable. The separate layout of the bedrooms ensured privacy and quiet for everyone – a very convenient feature. Overall, everything was to our satisfaction, and the host was always available, responding to any questions promptly and efficiently.

The only aspect I found slightly challenging as a parent was the absence of a safety gate to block access to the stairs. We had to keep the doors closed at all times to prevent our child from wandering off or falling. This would not be an issue at all for travellers without young children, but I mention it here for the benefit of fellow parents. The house is conveniently located near a Waitrose, which made it easy to purchase all necessities. However, it is situated at a considerable distance from the city centre, so it is important to factor in both transport costs and travel time when planning your stay.

Very cosy, spacious and clean.

Lovely property, very clean and such a good location. Very comfy beds and spacious lounge / kitchen area. Good sized garage and nearby shop which was handy.

Only thing I would request would be a full length mirror in the hallway or 2nd bedroom would be handy. Only 1 bedroom had a mirror so not ideal with a group. Also check out time is 10am which isn’t the best on a Sunday as check outs are usually 11am / Midday at other Airb&B or local hotels.

A really comfy and quiet stay. Well stocked kitchen with utensils, appliances and coffee! Close to the park and ride making trips into Cambridge easy.

Fitting and Deco. Kids loved the bed.
