Very peaceful and tranquil

A working farm with lucky chickens roaming free. Red Lion nearby was ok for a drink, but only served bar snacks. Dykes End didn’t serve meals on Saturday, so there was a distinct lack of restaurants serving food within walking distance. We went to the Hole in the Wall by... Show more

Great site

A lovely quiet site. Stayed 1 night couple of weeks ago. Have stayed here before few years ago. Lovely quiet site, plenty of room. No frills but we can be self sufficient. So peaceful.

Tranquility in a pretty location

What a lovely CL We stayed here 2 nights late March 2024 Friendly welcome. Easy access from the road through Swaffham Prior - a pretty village in its own right Quiet, restful days, just what we needed to recover after a hectic few days Would certainly stay again!

Peaceful site that you can use to cycle into Cambridge via cyclepaths

Lovely place very welcoming and quiet. You can use it as a base to cycle into Cambridge via the cycle paths. Flat and very quiet place - you could hear owls at night

Great for a no frills stopover

Lovely little site if you are not bothered about any amenities, nice to see the free range hens at the farm when we arrived, ideal place for a stopover (we were going to Newmarket to see the horses on the gallops) if you are self contained you have everything you... Show more

An absolute gem of a basic no frills site

We stopped here for 3 nights whilst our little 'Bonnie' (a rescued Cocker Spaniel ex breeding bitch) received urgent surgery at a specialist referral veterinary hospital some miles away. The site is located behind the timber framed farm house that John and his Swedish wife are in the process of renovating.... Show more
