Property Description
Located 8 miles west of Cambridge, in the Cambridgeshire village of Bourn, The Bull Pen is a high quality build designed to keep a feel for its history and location. It is a comfortable and peaceful place with open space indoors and outside for friends and families to enjoy. All the rooms look across traditional pasture with mature oak and ash trees, hedgerow and then arable fields beyond. It is ideal for a holiday combining 'time in' the city and 'time-out' of the city!

Wonderful lodging- cannot say enough about how great this place was! Even with no AC there was lots of air circulation that kept things very pleasant - we didn’t even need the fans provided in each room. Kids loved seeing the cattle and accommodation was very quiet but close to what you might need. Recommended pubs were also very good!

Couldn’t of been more perfect for my Sisters Hen Do I made my booking with Sally and Nick quite far in advance as it was for my Sisters hen do and they were so helpful from start to finish. Sally gave me ALL the recommendations, local walks, spa’s, restaurants, bars, transport, clear details of the accommodation, I knew I’d booked the right place from the first message because she was so detailed and thorough, I even made a comment to family that I’d write them a glowing review already without even staying! Sally even went out of her way to put an order in for some milk to take some of the hen do stress off of me, and nothing else was needed, the place was fully stocked with tea bags, coffee pods etc when we arrived. The accommodation itself was stunning, 6 of us stayed and there was so much space we didn’t feel on top of one another at all, it was so clean, plenty of towels, bathroom products, cleaning products (even some stain remover which saved my jacket!), a beautiful view and ample parking. Sally checked in a couple of times during our stay and made the whole process and stay so relaxed. I couldn’t recommend highly enough and whilst we were there even spoke about booking again in the future! Thank you Sally & Nick

Perfect base The Bull pen is perfectly located for exploring the Cambridge area especially IWM Duxford. The building itself is fitted out above and beyond what you would expect. This was completed by the incredible welcome and support of Sally. Never head any farm noise....honest.

Mrs Our stay at the Bullpen was exceptional. The facilities were comprehensive, the accommodation outstandingly clean and comfortable. Quite honestly the reality is better than the photos! the outlook was rural but Cambridge was in easy reach. ~It was great to know our hosts were nearby but their presence was certainly not intrusive at any time. We would certainly stay again - Thank you.

Perfect place for family stay in Cambridgeshire You won’t find a better place to stay if you’re looking to stay in the Cambridgeshire countryside. The Bullpen is beautifully located on the owners’ farm. The property is spacious, immaculately maintained, and very well equipped. Sally was very helpful in making our stay a wonderful one and was very responsive to our questions. The location is convenient for getting to Cambridge, and having a supermarket 5 minutes away was very convenient. A wonderful place to stay!

Fabulous place to stay A spacious, comfortable, well-equipped cottage with high end appliances and everything we could possibly need to make our stay easy and comfortable. Communicating with Sally was easy and she responded quickly. All in all, a great experience.
