A Perfect Spot!
Our stay here was lovely. The home was a historic property in the lovely village of Orwell. It was compact but our hostess had thought of everything. We even left with a bag of delicious pears grown in the gorgeous garden. The village had wonderful spots to eat and it was close to Cambridge where we spent a great day. Thanks so much!

Second stay.. lovely barn
This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Little Barn. For ourselves this is a great place for the few night stays, to visit our daughter and partner in Cambridge. Verity is a great host, the fridge has all the essential items, plus some thought-out extras. All round excellent stay.

Perfect little gem
The Little Barn was just perfect for our needs. Situated less than a mile from The Wimpole Estate which we were visiting. Excellent eating just 150 yds down the road, so all in all perfection. Your host, Verity, could not be any more helpful, thoughtful and kind. The barn itself is newly refurbished and of very high quality. So if you need accommodation in Cambridge area you won't go far wrong staying here.

Beautiful little barn
Had a wonderful couple of nights at Little Barn. Verity was very welcoming and left me a birthday card which was a lovely touch. We were grateful for the milk, fruit, bread, tea, cereal etc and the Barn itself is beautifully decorated. There is a small conservatory you walk into which the main house also has access to, so although you’re quite close to the owners house, you still felt apart as Verity closed her door and pulled her curtain across to give each other some privacy. About 30 minutes from Cambridge but not a lot going on around the area for us (depends what you’re into I guess). Good local pub 2 minutes walk away. Barn was beautiful, the only fault I had was there was no mirror to do your hair in the morning (that’s being picky), but would recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Cozy and convenient
The barn was very cozy and convenient to lots of sights in the area. The host was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and had a good range of brochures for local sights. The breakfast provisions were generous and tasty. A great place to stay and would recommend wholeheartedly.
