Cottage vacation rentals in Saint Ives

This place is nicer than the pictures show and perfect for our weekend away, Adam was very patient with us asking a few questions during our stay when things confused us etc. It’s also in a picturesque and peaceful village, lovely stay!!

The Old Farmhouse was one of the best equipped Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in. We particularly loved the hot tub and the four ponies/donkeys. Although you can walk around the fields surrounding the house, you have to drive to Finchingfield for food and drink etc. We had a Sainsbury’s supermarket delivery which worked well.

We stayed at forestry cottage for the weekend for my mums 70th birthday. The cottage was so homely and comfortable and a really good size for 7 people. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive, little touches like doggy treats and supplies (we bought our family dog) and balloons, party poppers and a happy birthday banner was left for my mum which was a really nice touch! The cottage is set in the most beautiful/peaceful place with decent walks around the lake. All in all we had a very lovely stay, would 100% recommend.

We only had a one night stay but the property was so clean and beautifully presented. Our children loved the games! The hot tub was lovely and Hollie was hugely helpful and very responsive when there was an initial issue with it working. Thank you!

A beautiful cottage set in beautiful grounds. Perfect for our teenage girls who loved the hot tub and fire pit. Amanda our host was great and very helpful. Would definitely would love to stay again.

Sarah’s place was a great place to stay. We visited as a group of friends and the grounds were a real highlight - including the lake and hot tub! The mezzanine bedroom is fully private. Would recommend!

Lovely accommodation, very clean, comfy beds and furniture. Plenty of space for 2 families for a weekend away.

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

Once again we had the most amazing stay, just how we remembered from the last time, felt right at home, will always book and stay when visiting family. The comparison of our son sitting in the arm chair at 11 months and now almost 19 months blew us away. We can’t wait to make more memories here with our family.

Wow! What a beautiful place! Jo was great and very welcoming, the home was lovely, clean and perfect for what we needed it for! Would absolutely recommend to anyone, we will 100% be back, thank you!

My family and I had a lovely stay at the Coach House. The property is beautifully designed and the decor is very stylish. The house was very clean throughout and we had everything we needed for our stay. Charlie was very quick in replying with any queries that we had throughout our stay also. We thought the paintings throughout the house were a lovely touch to the property also. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

We had a really relaxing stay in this beautiful place with a stunning outdoor forest directly accessible through the large garden. A tastefully decorated house with interesting artefacts and ceramics. A great place for reading books, cooking and having fires outside in the fire pit. Super quiet and peaceful and a perfect place for rest and recuperation. Also a good location from which to explore forests and sights of Norfolk.

A lovely stay with friends and dogs in a quiet and peaceful holiday park. listing was as described and Sara was very helpful and responsive when we messaged. Would recommend.

Cosy cottage, very homely and well equipped - Andy has thought of everything! We enjoyed a family go on the Wii doing Just Dance. Great fun! Liked the helpful little notes around the place, especially those for the bathroom heated towel rail. We enjoyed a lovely walk around Great Gransden & Little Gransden. Lots of thatched cottages and beautiful houses. A lovely peaceful location. Great for visiting our daughter at Uni in Cambridge.

A beautiful and very cosy cottage in a lovely little village. Elizabeth was fantastic from the moment of booking, really friendly and helpful. The hamper was a really nice touch and bringing treats for the dogs was very thoughtful, they definitely approved! Ample parking, very easy to check in. The cottage was absolutely immaculate. Reclining sofas, very comfortable beds, a great shower. Well equipped kitchen. The garden was perfect for our dogs. There was not one single fault with our stay and I was rather sad to leave! We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much 💕

PERFECTION! The best Air BNB we have ever stayed at, exceptional. If you're looking for a country break like you've never had before then stop scrolling and just book it! A perfect countryside retreat with a modern, personalised and exclusive twist. The way Phil & Gil have designed their accommodation for guests is nothing short of outstanding. Philip & Gil (& the animal clan) are exceptional hosts, Gil is always on hand to see if you need anything or just providing helpful recommendations of places to see & visit. When we arrived we were welcomed with champagne in their beautiful gardens and even had cakes and macaroons in our home for us on arrival which really sets the tone. You're provided with a basket of goodies to feed their animals including a Horse, Donkeys, Goats and the chickens (our favourite was called Beyonce lol ) Throughout our stay we were even provided with freshly laid eggs. The Afternoon Tea was 10/10 you must give it a go! We can't wait to go back again!

Sojourned at Mila's over the NYE to get away from the hustle and bustle. The cottage is charming and it is located in a peaceful village. Incredibly clean, cosy and characteristic of the Cambridgeshire countryside. Mila was professional and accommodating and the place was set up with everything that one would require! It was an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

We enjoyed staying at honeypot cottage. The large garden is a sun trap and plenty of logs for the log burner. Simon and Caroline were good on the comms too. Thank you

My wife and I enjoyed a short break in Barn Cottage. We wanted to see Cambridge and found this place ideal to use as a relaxing base. Located on a quiet no through road and within walking distance to Milton Park and Ride, 10 - 15 minutes walk away, lots of pubs serving food, Fish & Chip shop and other shops all near by. Also within walking distance is a Tesco Super Store and a lovely Country Park only minutes from Barn Cottage. Barn Cottage it's self was perfect and didn't disappoint. Everything was to a very high standard and I would recommend Barn Cottage to anybody visiting the Cambridge area. Caroline was very friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing time at the Cottage! The bed was super comfy, and the whole place is incredibly peaceful – perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some quiet time. The surroundings are beautiful, and Angela was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Excellent host and property in a handy location for Cambridge. The property is well placed if you are visiting Papworth or Addenbrookes - as Carol recommended, just ensure you allow sufficient travelling time if you have an early appointment.

This was our second week staying here, after a brilliant experience the first time staying here, we had to come back again. Thank you for hosting us during our stay.

A lovely place - charming but freshly renovated. Jane was very responsive, flexible and helpful.

Robbie’s place was a great base for our visit to family in the local area. The space was perfect for our family of four and the location just outside of King’s Lynn was close enough to shops and restaurants whilst being secluded and peaceful. Thanks for a lovely stay.
