Romantic Getaways

A rural and thoroughly romantic getaway, The Vineyard is a luxurious barn conversion perfect for a couple seeking peace and tranquillity.  It’s hard to believe such a country hideaway is less than an hour from London.

 

Enjoy the crisp cotton sheets and super kingsize bed or snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove.  There are luxury toiletries for a spot of pampering and you also have a beautiful landscaped private garden to enjoy breakfast and the papers.

 

With 600 acres of rolling farmland to explore there is no need to venture far.  Watch the red kites wheeling and the deer running across our fields.  Discover our ancient woodlands, carpeted in the Spring with bluebells.  Enjoy the scent of fresh lavender growing on the hillside.  Take a look at our working vineyard; the grapes make a wonderful English sparkling wine.   After some rural relaxation, stop off at the award-winning Pearce’s Farm Shop and Cafe to stock up on local artisanal treats for a relaxed night in.

 

Perhaps a short walk over the fields to the cosy village pub or venture further afield?  Afternoon tea or a relaxing day at a spa?  Connect with your inner Harry and Ginny enjoying a day out at Harry Potter World or discover the sensuous sculptures of Henry Moore in stunning gardens.  Sumptuous Hatfield House is a short drive away.  Its beautiful buildings and gardens have been the backdrop of many famous films including Shakespeare in Love, The Viceroy’s House and Batman.  Take a walk through the Knot Garden following in the footsteps of Elizabeth I and her suitors.  

 

On a sunny day lie back as your punt takes you past the willow-clad banks of the Cam.  Stroll along the beautiful Backs, admiring King’s College as you go, then turn into Silver Street, through the city centre and wander as your fancy takes you.  Cambridge has plenty of independent shops and exciting restaurants to fill your day.
