Beautiful cottage in Barley village, Hertfordshire

Our quiet, well equipped holiday cottage is tucked in the centre of a beautiful rural village with fabulous walks & great cycling; yet Cambridge is just 12 miles away. We have two village pubs; one a gastro pub the other more traditional. A car is recommended, parking on the road outside is free with no restrictions in a quiet location. We have a great village shop, Royston 4m, Saffron Walden 8m. Central London by train 30 min & Stansted Airport 12 miles. We hope to welcome you soon! Guests often comment that the cottage is bigger than they imagined, this is probably because it was originally converted for full time living not short term stays. The entire detached cottage is yours to enjoy, we live in a 16th Century thatched cottage in the grounds. The large garden is a shared space but there is also a bespoke seating area for guests to enjoy the sunshine and a drink in peace. You can enjoy the whole cottage and the large shared garden with your own seating area. I am happy to store bikes too. I won’t come looking to chat or disturb - but if you need me please just come and knock on the door! Barley is a rural village set in North Hertfordshire right on the county boundaries of both Cambridgeshire and Essex. Although it’s a country village it has excellent links to Cambridge (12m) and London. Barley is a relaxing and pretty place to stay, lovely country walks, a morning walk to the village shop for the papers and we are blessed with two easily walkable pubs. We would welcome you to come and experience the village and all the local attractions for yourself. Rural bus services run through the village to several local towns, there is also a village taxi service.
