Guests say
The Studio at Horseshoe Cottage in Fulbourn is praised for its great location, with nature reserves and English village charm nearby.

The peaceful setting and proximity to Cambridge are highlights, despite mixed feedback on the shower size and power.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to nature walks, local amenities, and Cambridge. The quiet, peaceful setting and easy access to attractions make it an ideal spot for guests.
The property is often described as cosy and comfortable, particularly the bed. However, some guests mention the limited headroom and the heat during a hot week as detractors from overall comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Criticisms focus on the small shower room and the challenge of the sloping ceilings, which affect the usability of the space.
Hosts are commended for their welcoming nature and helpfulness, with mentions of chocolates as a treat. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.

. It was a pity that the paddock was not secure, however the munjac that we saw were enjoying feeding there. It was lovely and warm even though it was freezing outside very welcome when we got back.

We received a nice warm welcome from the owners. We marked it down a little due to the lack of space in the shower/toilet room and the number of times we forgot about the sloping ceiling upstairs.

It fulfilled our practical requirements and provided a very pleasant change of scene complete with hollyhocks and a muntjac!
