About this property
The Fold Cambridge, Private Country Estate. Adult Only.
Five years in the making, The Fold is ready to welcome its first guests. Rescued from an uncertain future, this unique family run estate now offers Adult-Only guest accommodation in four luxurious suites that can be booked individually, or together offering an exclusive experience for larger groups.
Lovingly restored by the owners from the old stables, the buildings retain the charm and character of their heritage, with the attention to detail expected from a boutique hotel. The sensitively curated and generously sized suites are situated around the original enclosed courtyard where horses would come 'back to the fold' after a hard days work on the land. The French inspired courtyard garden is for private use of those staying in the suites, with outdoor and undercover dining and BBQ facilities. There is even an indoor barn that can be added for additional cost, that is perfect for group activities and private dining.
All this situated within a stunning 24 acre parkland setting with ancient meadows, natural woodlands and teaming with wild animals; yours to roam and explore during your stay. Remote and peaceful, yet just five minutes walk from the vibrant village centre of Histon with award winning cafes, restaurants and pubs. A warm welcome from the local community is assured.
Created for holiday and business travellers alike; a relaxed place to call home in unique, comfortable surroundings, but with all Cambridge has to offer just an easy 3.5miles away by cycle, bus or car.
The world is becoming ever more fast paced and increasingly virtual, the core idea in creating The Fold is to provide an oasis of calm and authenticity at the heart of one of the fastest growing parts of the country. We hope you will take the chance to 'switch off' from the day to day while you are here, but in case you do need to stay connected there is secure high speed wifi in each suite, a good sound system, smart TVs and even a dishwasher. Electric vehicles are also fully embraced with the undercover parking area providing type 2 charging facilities for upto 4 vehicles.
We believe we have created something unique and would love the chance to share it with you.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Watson
We purchased this very neglected property in 2021 and have spent the past 5 years rescuing the buildings and preserving the ancient trees and meadows. Our goal was to save the old farm from development and create a sustainable future for the estate - which included creating this guest accommodation we now call The Fold.
Every detail of the design and every item within the suites has been carefully curated and tested by us. We have travelled a lot over the years and have tried to bring the best of what we have found around the world into this project.
The wider estate is constantly being evolved and developed so don't be surprised if we ask you for your ideas on how we can make the estate better during your stay !

Why they chose this property
Michael grew up in this village of Histon just outside Cambridge like many generations of his family before him. Abbey Farm is the last remaining farm in the heart of the village and it became our passion to ensure it did not become a development site.
It's a wonderful village with way more than its fair share of good restaurants, pubs and cafes - all within a few mins walk from the back gate of The Fold. It is rare to feel this secluded and surrounded by nature, yet be so close to a vibrant community.
It is also exceptionally well positioned to access the historic city of Cambridge only 3.5 miles away. An easy cycle, or with bus, car and taxi options it really is the best of both City and Countryside. We love it hear and really enjoy sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique
The simple answer is that we offer truly luxurious boutique style accommodation, beautiful unspoilt meadows, woodland and wild animals, all in the most unexpectedly well connected location.
The reason we are here is to preserve what we have found and share it with others.
