Named after the previous owner, this much loved semi-detached family home, next door to the local primary school, provides spacious yet cosy accommodation in the heart of the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Offord D’Arcy. Close by lies Godmanchester, a historic and scenic town situated on the River Great Ouse, in the Ouse Valley.
There has been a settlement here since Viking times and the town retains much of its Roman history where history buff can visit the Porch Museum, as it is home to many local artefacts and is a treasure trove of information about the history of the town. Also a ‘must visit’ is the university city of Cambridge with its guided walks, numerous museums, including the famous Fitzwilliam, punting on the River Cam, open top bus tours and great shops and restaurants.
To fit it all in, you will need to make several visits, and Cambridge’s network of park-and-ride systems makes this very easy to do. Alternatively, you can pop into Huntingdon and take the train, which also runs to Ely with its magnificent cathedral, or even be in the heart of London in around an hour. Even closer lies Grafham Water, which offers water sports and is a great place for a stroll, picnic or family day out. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased to return to Pam’s Plaice and enjoy dinner in the light and airy conservatory, which just seems to bring the outside in, or in the pretty rear garden, while you plan adventures yet to be had.

The landlady was very nice and helpful. The cottage was clean and best of all no spiders or webs. Found the natives friendly and a bit of local history was a bonus. Two slight drawbacks were the narrow, steepish stairs and no dishwasher but don’t be put off we are older people and younger ones wouldn’t notice. Nice garden btw

We were not on holiday as such so didn’t get to any of the local attractions. We were very happy with this accommodation and anyone wishing to stay in this area should be very satisfied with a stay here. Lovely house with some interesting items on display. Very good garden.
