Guests say
Riverside is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The extensive gardens and peaceful rural setting add to its charm, although some guests noted the drive may not suit low cars. The property is ideal for family gatherings, with a games area and a welcome hamper adding a thoughtful touch. While some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, the overall experience is highly regarded.
Guests consistently described the property as clean and fresh upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The property's rural setting is appreciated for its tranquility and wildlife, though it requires a short drive to local amenities. Proximity to Ely and Cambridge is a plus.
The comfortable beds and spacious rooms contribute to a comfortable stay, although seating in the lounge was noted as insufficient for larger groups.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but guests suggested the addition of larger saucepans and more oven trays. The games area is a hit, though it impacts lounge seating.
The welcome hamper and gluten-free pizza were appreciated gestures, showing consideration for guests' needs. However, such gifts should be seen as a bonus rather than an expectation.

There were six of us staying at this huge house in Stonea, near March and in fairness the positives fully outweigh the negatives.The positives....huge house, lovely kitchen with everything you could need.Plenty of parking, comfortable beds, lovely owners who made the trip very enjoyable.The negatives....heating was unpredictable, sometimes too hot, sometimes way too cold and heating in kitchen and dining area not working.Not enough seating in lounge area, main TV needs updating.No bins in bedrooms or bathrooms.But even so I would still recommend this house, especially if the minor issues were sorted.

House was lovely. Big bedrooms and lovely lounge. Could have done with more saucepans, cooking Christmas dinner for 10 with 3 small saucepans was tricky.

Lovely spacious house and garden for all the family to enjoy. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Near to March. Caught train from Manea to Ely and also Cambridge. Free parking at the station. Skylark garden centre very close and good selection on menu.Could do with a larger saucepan.
