A 6-mile drive from Huntingdon, the award-winning The Blue Cow in Fenstanton offers high-quality bed and breakfast in a 1-bedroom cottage. The luxurious accommodation is complemented by free parking and Wi-Fi.

Felt very private and secure, I didn't feel the need to lock anything when going out. Even though the breakfast was self cooked during covid, the ingredients provided were ample and of good quality. Great kitchen facilities too.

Situated in the village of Fen Drayton, the Thorn House B&B offers a self contained one bedroom lodge and a self contained one bedroom guesthouse with free Wi-Fi and free private parking. It is just 15 minutes’ drive from central Cambridge and 5 minutes from St Ives.

I almost didn't want to do a review on the Thorn B&B because it was so perfect I wanted to keep it a secret 🤫 Gorgeous, quiet location. Great to have a whole little house all to ourselves. Lovely cooked breakfast hand delivered each morning. The lovely host, Alex, likes to deliver breakfast by 8am so if you want a lie in take some cereal or bread for toast and make your own in the little kitchen where a microwave, small fridge with chiller slot (not freezer), coffee machine, toaster and kettle are provided. There's also tea, coffee pods, condiments, jam and a big barrel of biscuits provided. Small living room with smart TV, cupboard that doubled up as a wardrobe and ironing board and iron home and dining table. Walk in shower was efficient and toiletries are provided. The bed was comfy and the bedroom was equipped with fans, electric blanket, hairdryer and straighteners! There wasn't a garden view in our lodge but there was a private drive that allowed us to take the car right up to the front door of the property which made unpacking a breeze. Away from the property there is a local pub 'The Three Tuns' which does a very nice meal. Not the cheapest place for food but if it is only a night or two then it's great. There is no shop of any kind in the village so stock up before you get there. Alex gave us a fabulous welcome with a little treat (I won't spoil the surprise) and nothing seemed too much trouble for him. If you want a relaxed, private experience then this is definitely the place for you.

    Lovely apartment in a great location! The rooms are very spacious and the bed very comfortable. There is a bathroom for each of the rooms which are very modern. Great that it has a dedicated parking space as well as St Ives is a busy little town! Would definitely book again :)

    The property was beautifully laid out, exceptionally clean, comfortable and in a great location. It had everything needed to relax, eat in, and was ideal for all the restaurants, cafes in the town. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet even though it was close to the town centre. It was also superb for getting to other towns and cities nearby. Car park space was brilliant as it enabled us to walk to everywhere but we could easily go out if we wanted to.

    Lovely quiet location. Very picturesque. History and quaintness of hotel.Very relaxing. The fly screen on bedroom windows was great, so windows could be left open on warm nights. Staff friendly and helpful. Dealt with booking error professionally. Breakfast was lovely, including the vegetarian sausages.

    A very nice quiet room with immaculate private bathroom. Everything provided - tea making facilities, iron and hairdryer, multichannel TV and with the central heating on for a cold summer's day on September 1st 2021. Fabulous breakfast with a wide choice of cereals, fruit and/or cooked. Stayed only one night but is should have been longer as there is much history to explore in the area.

    Charming thatched pub in a delightful location just by the river. A lovely quiet spot with a very cosy bar. Very dog friendly. There was alot to visit in the area. The staff couldn't have been more friendly. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. We really enjoyed the food. We would happily go back.
