The Old Smithy
Cambridge, East Anglia
The Old Smithy near Cambridge sleeps six, making it well suited to a larger family or a group travelling together. Shepreth Wildlife Park is around six miles away, a good option for a day out with children, while the Museum of Classical Archaeology and the Milstein Exhibition Centre, both part of the University of Cambridge, lie just under seven miles off for those interested in history and culture.
Shepreth station, roughly six miles from the cottage, offers a train link if you'd prefer not to drive. With no beach nearby, this is a cottage geared towards exploring Cambridgeshire's museums and wildlife attractions rather than coastal days.
