Sarah has a lovely authentic Elizabethan home and she is a warm, kind and generous person. After the stressfull and physically demanding days I had in the area, it was a delight to return to her welcome and her extra specially wonderful dinners each evening. As she had told me beforehand, there is a nice pub and a good corner shop in her village which also has an excellent bus service into Cambridge. Aged her property might be, but its WiFi is strong and reliable.

Sarah is a very warm-hearted, open-minded, friendly hostess. We felt very, very comfortable and enjoyed the days with her.
We will see her again, safe and sound.
Very nice, big, old house steeped in history, in a pleasantly quiet place. Thank you.
