About this property

In 50 acres of grounds, Rectory Farm is 2 miles from Cambridge centre. This country house offers free Wi-Fi, paid parking, and a paid seasonal outdoor swimming pool open from June until September.

Set in a grand period building, the elegant bedrooms each have a private modern bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. Rooms also feature a TV and hairdryer, and all have scenic countryside views. Rooms are located in the House or in the adjacent Chalet.

Please note: Dogs are welcome at a cost of £25 per dog per stay. This must be requested in advance by emailing the property directly for approval.

Also, early check-in is available for £30, letting you check in from 12pm instead of 4pm. This must be requested by contacting us and paid for in reception.

We do not serve food. Neither breakfast nor other meals are included in the room price. Good meals are provided at local pubs: The Plough, Coton; Three Horseshoes, Madingley; The Astronomer, Eddington.

Just a 5 minute drive from Cambridge’s scenic College Backs, the Rectory is 2 miles from Castle Hill and Kettle’s Yard art gallery. The Grand Arcade shopping centre is a 10-minute drive away. Guests can take a Park and Ride bus service or walk on a footpath to the City Centre.

We do provide travel cots on request before booking and subject to availability; this is an additional charge of £10.
