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.

Very comfortable and well equipped. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location was good for the places we wished to visit and proved to be a good choice. There were only two of us but there was space for seven although probably only for four adults.

We enjoyed staying at the cottage, it had everything we needed as a base for visiting the surrounding area, the conservatory was the room we stayed in for most of the evening even if a squirrel gave us a shock when it ran across the roof, the bonus was it was a black squirrel which have never seen before.The only minor negative was that the cottage details said there was parking for 3 cars, when myself and my son had parked our vehicles there was no way a third could be accommodated, this was a minor comment as there were only the 2 vehicles.
