My partner and Ioved staying here for our first little getaway together. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and cook dinner, the WiFi was good enough for us to watch Disney+ and it was closed to Cambridge park and ride for a day out.
Would recommend and stay again.
The White Barn is compact & comfortable. It is in a good location for exploring Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire, & ideal for a weekend break. A bigger television would have been appreciated, & a storage food cupboard.cupboard
The barn was in excellent condition and extremely well stocked with everything you need. Small but pretty courtyard garden. On a main road but no problem with traffic noise at night. Overall highly recommend.
Not what I initially expected as the white barn is very close to the hosts home. however, the off road parking area was a good size, accommodation was lovely inside and there was a delightful private garden with patio area. The hosts were available if needed and had thought of just about every eventuality as the white barn was well equipped with everything we might need. It was a lovely place to stay. We were visiting family but there was plenty of information about local services and places of interest
It was such fun being in a light and airy living space - especially when the weather was warm and sunny and we could open the big doors onto the patio and sit in the small secluded garden - we managed to eat out all our meals out here for several days and enjoyed using our bird song identification app as we listened to a multitude of birds in the surrounding area. The village has a beautiful common and some nice walks to explore too. A relaxed stay all round.

This property is in a great location with good amenities but tbh is in need of some updating and could have been cleaned more thoroughly.
Everything was excellent, nice comfortable accommodation with all the facilities as described and in good condition, hosts were attentive and a nice village. We had a long stay for business reasons and it worked very well.
The barn is in a lovely village, very handy for many places of interest. It is bright, airy and clean, very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much.
The White Barn is excellent. We are always a little anxious when booking a new place to stay but once we entered The White Barn all concerns disappeared. It is absolutely wonderful. Every aspect of a stay has been thought through from on-site parking to milk in the 'fridge. The White Barn is on our list for a return visit when next in the area.
The White Barn is a perfect little hideaway for two.
We arrived in the afternoon and found everthing well prepared.
Claire gave us a warm welcome and hints for local supermarket and restaurants as well as places to visit.
We had a wonderfull time and would love to come back.
BTW: The pub nearby is very good but not open for dinner on monday.
Claire’s White Barn was beautifully presented and exactly as shown online. Very private, clean and homey feeling. Host provided additional bedding when requested and nothing was any trouble. We were able to check in earlier than planned and leave later than needed. Very accommodating of the hosts. Enjoyed the peace, and not too far from amenities. Lovely stay
We made an error in arriving a day too early. Luckily our host was in and the barn unoccupied. We very much appreciated how accommodating Claire & Cameron were for us. The Barn is exactly as described by others and was just great. Hilton is excellently located to tour out in all directions, we visited March, Ely, Cambridge (using the Park & Ride), all easily accessible. The village itself is charming and has a Grade 1 listed church and loads of green walking space.
All the way through from booking to check in and out, Claire’s communication was warm, clear and very helpful.
We had a very comfortable three nights in the White Barn which is very well equipped.
Our flight from Australia was messed around by the airline so travel time was extended.
We were very grateful to flop into the comfortable bed and Claire put in extra effort to look after our needs when the travel time lengthened.
We really appreciated the large soft towels and the tourist information leaflets and brochures provided.
The little courtyard area is lovely but the weather was too cool for us to use it.
We would highly recommend the White Barn.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The owner is really helpful and responsive and the barn is in a great location in terms of getting around a lot of historic and natural attractions. Parking is difficult and does need a lot of care as the property fronts straight on to a busy road (note: picture with patio doors is rear of property). This means it's very noisy at all hours so be prepared for that. There is quite limited cooking space so you will have to be creative there and likewise very few places to store food (the fridge is big though). Overall I think we must have been a little unlucky re cleaning; there were some dead flies etc and some unwashed crockery and utensils. I would agree with other visitors who have suggested a refresh may be due. All of which said we had a good trip so thanks.
