Townhome vacation rentals in River Great Ouse

Lovely, cosy house in a very convenient location for a Cambridge visit.

We stayed over New Year 2025 with friends, and it was an excellent choice. Easy to find, free parking (we parked right outside), lots of space, really well stocked kitchen, excellent shower, and amazingly comfy beds. The road outside is really quiet, despite being off of a main road. Small but really lovely outdoor space. The three bedrooms are separate, two on one floor and then up some narrow stairs to the two single beds. The layout is unusual, with the living room being downstairs in the basement, but that made it really cosy, especially with the underfloor heating. Having a loo downstairs was good too, don't think that's clear in the listings. It's opposite a park, so really great for nice walks from the door, and just a few minutes stroll into the main part of town. Lovely pub one minute walk away. Stamford is a lovely, very picturesque town, lots of good shops, pubs and restaurants. For a weekends (or longer) away with friends, this place ticks every box.

Enjoyed Lindsey's home. She was very hospitable and great at responding to text and emails. We had a small issue with some burned out light bulbs that were up high in the bathroom and she was on it immediately to add more bulbs. She was a wonderful host! It was a very comfortable home with a lovely garden out back, perfect place for morning coffee. We had everything we needed in the kitchen which was well stocked. The stairs are very small & narrow so you need to be careful going up and down.

Highly recommend staying… the whole family are so welcoming! It’s very twisting hanging and chilling with everyone in the family including Sally the new addition tortoise!

Had a nice stay at Garfield house , Cosy warm and felt very at home many thanks

Olga’s place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I really appreciated how responsive and flexible Olga was! Thanks for having us

This was the perfect place for our family! The house was spacious and modern, with many amenities. The decor is colorful and fun, and there were so many books and toys and parks close by to keep my three kids very happy! I loved being able to cook dinner (with lots of storage space cleared out for our food) but the convenience of shops and restaurants by a five minute walk was fantastic. Lindsey was a great host and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this place!

Thank you George, what a fabulous house you have. It ticked all the boxes for my partner's 60th birthday with family. Lovely gesture with the Prosecco and cake. The cold barrel and hot tub were a huge hit with everyone and the space you have is incredible. Beautiful surroundings, space in the outside area with hammock and seating area. Games room was a hit with the younger generation and can't thank you enough for your hospitality. The fact that we could eat next door at the Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant was also amazing. Ticked every box and to boot we had the sunshine! We all loved it - thank you.

Our stay was brilliant, Heike's home was warm, clean, with beautiful decor, and a lovely garden, and she'd given us some lovely extras such as wine, biscuits, doggy things, foil tins for our Christmas meal, and had put up Christmas decorations - it was all very thoughtful. And Heike was very responsive which was very much appreciated. The neighbourhood is quiet and river walks are a 5min drive away. We all had a lovely Christmas, thank you Heike!

We totally loved Tess's cottage and the location was perfect. The house has been lovingly furnished and Tess's beautiful and serene artworks adorn the walls. The kitchen has everything you need if you're cooking for yourself. It feels really comfortable and like a home, not a holiday let. We especially enjoyed the collection of art books! It's a peaceful countryside location but easy to get into Cambridge - we walked in across Grantchester meadows most days. We came without a car so took a cab from the station with our suitcases - quick and straightforward and only around £10. Tess is a great host, she allowed us to check in a bit early and check out a bit late which was really helpful. She communicated really well before and during our stay but wasn't intrusive in any way. Can't recommend enough!

Andrew was very helpful in allowing us to check in early so we did not have to carry our bags around for the day. I used to live in Cambridge, so I knew the area pretty well, and this was a great location—easy to walk into town. The house was as described without any issues. I loved the garden, and we also had some lovely weather. There were no issues while we stayed there. I would book again if solo traveling or with a mate again. Thank you, Chris

Nothing negative to say about the host or the apartment

Tram was nothing less than a fantastic hope. She was so supportive as a fellow mum and as a host. I felt at home right away and the house was well stocked with everything you could need. The area felt safe and there was ample parking. The house was always warm and a very clean, clutter free space and my two daughters enjoyed playing with the toys! Thanks Tram!

Had a lovely stay at The Stables. Felt right at home. It’s larger than the photos suggest & very clean & comfortable. Jean-Pierre was an excellent host, very friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend.

This gorgeous town house is right by the river overlooking the town bridge and a short walk into town. We went with out two teenage boys and a small dog and they all loved the decor and space. Three spacious double bedrooms and a huge kitchen/dining area with an open plan lounge overlooking the river. This is the best place is Stamford we have stayed in. Thank you Emma!

Thank you Ram, we had the most wonderful time at the hidden hut! A stunning and peaceful location, quiet and within walking distance of anything you could need. Ram is a kind and helpful host and I appreciated the thoughtful little touches (such as suncream on the shelf!). We will definitely be back!

A perfect stay Cute little house Clean and tidy, well presented. Be aware no parking specifically for house. A few mins walk away and you can park in lidl for 90mins for unpacking. Spiral stair case to bedroom, super fun for kids might not suit people with mobility difficulties.

Great accommodation, perfect for our stay. Host is very helpful, sent us lots of informative information. Thank you for everything

Christina’s place was clean, comfortable and well provided. It was quiet and private. There’s a park and playground nearby, and the centre of town is a five minute drive or 20 minute walk.

I had stayed at Kelly-Anne's place once previously and so, was very comfortable re-booking it for a second time. The home is in a great location, right in the middle of town and I think that honestly, that's my favourite feature. The house is super clean and comfortable and catered to all of our vacation needs.... Thank you so much...we'll be back!

What an amazing find this is and in beautiful surroundings sat on the edge of the river overlooking the park but also located in the stunning town, literally everything on your doorstep. Milk and Prosecco in the fridge and a basket full of treats a really thoughtful added bonus. Lesley was extremely attentive and she also let us check in 2 hours early and a late check out which was greatly appreciated. I would Highly recommended Lesley’s place we had the best time. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We had a lovely stay for 3 nights at Easter so we could visit family and friends in Cambridge. The house is nicely furnished and decorated throughout and the bed was so comfy. The enclosed garden was perfect for our Labrador and David was friendly and helpful. It’s a great location, close to the motorway and to get in to central Cambridge. Would highly recommend.
