Great, isolated location, comfortable and warm though bed was hard. No locks on either of the bathroom doors and as a group of eight this was unacceptable and no shower curtain on the main bathroom so the floor got wet when using the shower. We were told the pool was unavailable two days before the holiday. It was too late to rearrange the holiday. We were financially compensated but the main reason for choosing this property was the pool.

Kestrel is excellent value for money - lots of accommodation for the price you are paying. We were 6 adults, two with mobility issues and Kestrel worked very well for this.The location is rural and peaceful but be aware it's 2.5 miles down roads that will test your car's suspension and require very careful driving! Cambridge is approx 50 minutes drive away. Lots of things to do in the overall area.There is no lock on the main bathroom door and no shower curtain for the main shower, both of which did cause problems a couple of times. Also, no info folder about the cottage or guest review book

We had a very comfortable week in this spacious cottage set in the middle of farm land and we appreciated the pool.
