Bumble Cottage

Bumble Cottage is a pretty Victorian cottage in Soham, Cambridgeshire. It is available for holiday lets and weekend breaks all the year round and is an ideal location from which to explore the city of Cambridge, rural Cambridgeshire and coastal Norfolk and Suffolk, yet located only an hour from London

The cottage was built in 1894 and was totally refurbished to a high, modern standard in 2010 - including free WiFi access throughout - to offer a quiet getaway where contemporary meets the country.

The cottage is situated off a quiet street overlooking Qua Fen - one of the three commons that surround the village. These commons are unique and not known to exist in quite the same way anywhere else in the country. They are derived from strip farming methods and land rights which go back to the Middle Ages.

Now protected by law, no developments can be built on this land. From May through October, local people exercise grazing rights so during these months there are often roaming horses and highland cattle to be seen.

Just one hundred yards from the cottage is a natural pond where a variety of ducks and waterfowl can be seen throughout the year. There is a picnic area here as well.

Further afield there are many places to visit, drink and eat.
