Loved the location, the Tiny house aspect, the garden, the bikes and David, the helpful host. We were a little confused upon arrival which building was the front door. Tip… it’s to the right set back a little. All other instruction were excellent. Highly recommend a bike ride into Cambridge.

Christmas stay

Hired the hut for a long weekend at the beginning of December. Ideal location for Christmas shopping in Cambridge. Very cosy and warm. Would definitely recommend.

The hut was immaculate! The cleanest venue I have stayed in. Very comfortable bed & hot shower; fresh coffee & milk is such a welcome addition when you’re only staying for a night or two.We had everything we needed but perhaps for a longer stay a microwave could be helpful; having said that, we had two extremely good meals in the local Indian restaurant, Tawa Lounge & traditional homemade pub food at the Red Lion Hotel, both about 10mins walk & recommended by our host.The hut is in the host’s garden but feels private- however, you’re very close to a road- it didn’t specifically bother us, but it might be a slightly louder experience than expected if you’re imagining an open field & owls! That isn’t a negative, just a note about what type of get away this is- thoughtfully, earplugs were provided if you’re particularly sensitive.We were two pals in need of relaxation & a catch up- it was perfect for us- we had a car & that helped getting into Cambridge centre, although, it looked like there were buses going regularly.Like another visitor, we found that the the entrance/parking wasn’t obvious & not really explained ahead of arrival- however, David was quick to reply to our call & kindly moved his car to allow us to park closer to the hut, however, there was road-side parking in the street opposite.We had a good 2night stay, we caught up in a lovely, cosy, well maintained hut & also enjoyed some early Christmas shopping in Cambridge, which has a perfect mix of shops.

About the host

Hosted by David Jessop

Host profile image
Hello! We’re Louise and David, and in 2022 we were mad enough to buy a Grade II listed little thatched cottage in need of a *lot* of work.

We moved in at the beginning of 2023 and began a lifelong project of restoring the cottage and garden. It’s still very much a work in progress, so please excuse us if it’s looking a bit scruffy around the edges!

We’re thrilled that you chose to stay with us - every stay in the hut helps support our work. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

Histon is a thriving community with a quaint village feel, but only a stone's throw from central Cambridge.

What makes this property unique

It's a bit different, and a fun experience! You have a chic, cosy interior looking out over fields behind, as well as your own private garden space, yet it's still an easy cycle into central Cambridge or further afield. Bicycles are provided free of charge, and there's a regular bus and free parking onsite.
