400 yr. old cottage ideal for rest & relaxation

Tucked away in a conservation area of Fenstanton is Yew Tree Cottage - a 16th Century Grade II listed thatched hideaway. Suited to those looking to nestle down in front of the fire on a chilly night or relax in the buzzing garden on a warm day . There are a number of lovely local walks or explore the delightful city of Cambridge under 20 min drive away. We live in an annexe behind the cottage so share the garden. We keep to ourselves but are available if you need us. See you soon! Yew Tree Cottage has everything you'll need for a lovely stay. With two roomy double bedrooms upstairs, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate living and dining area and bathroom downstairs, it's the perfect place for winding down, making a delicious dinner and having a glass of something. There is a large winding garden buzzing with life. The pond is home to our friendly but shy fish, Goldie, Sunny, Moët and Tiger. If you're lucky enough, they may come out and say hi! There is an annexe in the garden where we live and hence the garden and driveway are shared. We keep to ourselves but are on hand should you need anything! Please note bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. Also as it's an old cottage the stairs up are quite steep with no handrail. Also there is no parking onsite however right at the end of church lane there is a public quiet church parking with loads of spaces. The 2 br cottage is for the exclusive use of guests. There is an annexe behind the cottage where we live, therefore the garden and access through the driveway is shared by both properties. We generally keep to ourselves of course giving you the space you need to enjoy your stay. We are very excited to welcome you to our home and are available to answer any questions you may have before, during and after your stay. We know the area very well and therefore can offer many tips on what to do and where to go. As we live in the annexe on site are available for anything you should need. Happy to help, just ask. Fenstanton is a popular and established village with a good number of shops, pubs and amenities. It is about two miles from the thriving market town of St. Ives separated by river meadows and a friendly community of locals. St. Ives has a great range of shops and services with access to Waitrose for all the essentials for your stay. There are any number of Farmers shops with the closest beings Ron's local produce only a 2min walk further down Church Lane. The two closest mainline stations are Huntingdon and Cambridge providing fast and easy access to London Kings Cross. The world renowned city of Cambridge, steeped in academia is only a 25 min drive away. This is a must do if you've never been before to soak up the culture and history. A car is the best option for exploring the area although there is a guided bus from St. Ives providing access to Cambridge in around 20mins. There are also a number of local private hire taxi companies based in St. Ives. There is parking locally a couple minutes walk from the cottage. Please note there is a pond in the garden so if there are small children around they will need to be supervised at all times to keep them safe :) There is no parking on site unfortunately. At the end of church lane is a large church carpark with plenty of spaces, please feel free to unload then park at the church yard.
