The buildings that house these five delightful self-catering cottages were originally part of the famous Wimpole Hall Estate and built as a hunting lodge and stables in 1840. New Farm is in a superb location only half a mile from Wimpole Hall and Wimpole Home Farm and provides an ideal base for the many attractions Cambridgeshire has to offer.

Set amidst 350 acres of farmland and in an 'area of best landscape' the farm surrounds an ancient woodland which is designated as a 'site of special interest'. Many footpaths and bridleways traverse the farm and woods, giving excellent walks and rides.

Joining our two original cottages (Kestrel and Owl) are our three brand new cottages (Robin, Kingfisher and Peacock) in their first season. All five cottages have recently been converted and renovated to a very high standard.
