Some info has been automatically translated.
The house dates from around 1750 but has been quite extensively extended and modernised. Located a few hundred metres outside the village of Ickleton, it is very well placed for the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Hinxton (2 miles), Duxford Air Museum (4 miles) or Cambridge (approx 10 miles).

The space
Guests are welcome to make use of our extensive garden, and tennis court. Bicycles are usually available if required (no charge).

Tesla wall connector (32A) available for car charging at cost.

Guest access
We have a comfortable, cosy sitting room available for guests, with television.

Our "main" bathroom - as shown in the pictures (it's not en-suite, but it's very close to the bedroom) - is exclusively for guests, hence we show it as "private". In addition to the "main" bathroom there are two other toilets available for guest use.

Also - our normal checkin window is 5 pm to 8 pm but if you would like to arrive earlier or later this is usually fine - please just check with us a little in advance.

During your stay
We are home most of the time and can assist with requests etc if needed.

Other things to note
We have two young Burmese cats... the Burmese are known as being the friendliest of all cats. However, we can easily keep them away from the parts of the house which you use, if you prefer - just let us know!

Lives in Ickleton, United Kingdom
My husband Paul and I have seen our 4 children grow up and leave home, and now we're delighted to welcome airbnb guests to share our home, which is much bigger than the 2 of us need! I'm a retired teacher and my husband - recently retired as an airline pilot - is a part-time flying instructor. We are enthusiastic gardeners and tennis players, and guests are welcome to wander round our big garden or to use our tennis court. Breakfast will usually include home-made bread, as well as home-made jams from our own garden produce.
