A peaceful retreat

Elise greeted us & showed around this wonderful house. We were provided with a substantial welcome pack that was so appreciated & well used for breakfast & nibbles. We travel a lot staying in lots of different places & the house was the best equipped home we have ever stayed in & everything was top notch quality. There is a wonderful butcher & little supermarket close by. Thank you Elsie be proud of your property as it is first class

Beautiful and well equipped house

We had a couple of days at Elise's house and really enjoyed our stay. The house is tastefully decorated and very spacious. Everything was exactly as described and no detal was missing. The only suggestion for improvement is to provide a dropped pin and a picture of how to find the yard as it took is a while to locate the house.

Home away from home

The property was very well presented and extremely comfortable. Elise was a terrific host - she responded to questions promptly and was very helpful upon check-in. The house was even better than the photos suggested. A very spacious property (especially the garden) whilst close to the sights of Cambridge.

A wonderfully comfortable and well set up house.

My family of six stayed in Great Shelford for a week over Christmas. Elise met us at the door for check-in and took time to show us the features of the house. It was a very comfortable, warm and well set-up house. Everything we needed was there, and the kitchen was particularly good for Christmas cooking. Elise had even put a Christmas tree in the lounge room. Elise was very prompt in responding to our queries. The house is close to bus stops to Cambridge and a walk to the station, and close to the town shops and pubs. I would highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Elise

We have lived in Great Shelford since 2001 and live very close to this holiday rental. We work from home so are usually around to help guests with any queries. We really want you to enjoy the house and the area and leave feeling pampered and refreshed after your stay.

Why they chose this property

We love our Old Pound Yard house. Although in the centre of this busy village it is set back from the road and is a peaceful, calm sanctuary. Prior to refurbishing the house completely as a holiday home, we rented it as a long term let and our previous tenants all fell in love with its space and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

Old Pound Yard is walking distance to local supermarkets, pubs, a station, bus stops, restaurants, a park and recreation ground, takeaways, bakery, butchers, chemist and library - to name but a few local amenities. The house has private off road parking for up to 3 cars, right outside the front door. There is a lovely walled garden and french doors from the living room and dining room onto the patio. Another unique factor is the artwork around the house which is all painted by local artist Astrig Akseralian, Elise's sister - and if anything grabs your attention all the paintings are available for sale !
