This is a historic house and is different site altogether from Hemingford Grey House (a residential conference center).
Visited the house as part of a WI trip. Diana was very welcoming, even picking up 3 of our ladies who had mobility problems to take them to the house, as direct access by car or coach is not possible. She is a superb hostess, who told us of the history of this house, which is about 950 years old - older than the Magna Carta! An informative tour of the house and the chance to view some amazing quilts made by Lucy Boston, author of many children's books. The house has Norman, Tudor and Georgian features and we had the opportunity to sit and listen to the very 78 record that was played to RAF men during WW2 and in the same room. The gardens are beautiful and set right next to the beautiful Great Ouse. What a wonderful way to spend a few hours - highly recommended!

Fun and informative wine tastings and gin tastings. Book in advance online for Saturday courses and evening tastings (link is given next to map). For an ideal present buy a Wine Tasting Gift Experience voucher! We can arrange private parties (birthdays, hen nights, staff socials, team building) to suit your choice of date. Plus we offer WSET wine qualification courses.
I decided to give the WSET level 1 course ago after speaking to Mark at the Cambridge Food festival and I'm glad I did. Although I could have jumped straight to the level 2 course (you don't need level 1 as Mark will point out), I'm glad that I did this day course to get familiar with the basics of wine. I enjoyed the pace of the course and how Mark delivered it. He has a great deal of knowledge and a clear passion for them. There is nothing pretentious or snobbish at all, just a good atmosphere and lots of fun. We got to taste a few wines along the way but importantly, we learnt how to spit the wine out - I’ll save the swallowing of the wine for the evenings! Level 1 does give you a good depth of the basics and in one day I certainly came out far knowledgeable than before. I would recommend this course to anyone who wanted to feel a bit more competent when it comes to wine, it also would make a nice gift. Thanks for the fantastic day and look forward to booking onto level 2!

Fens Falconry is a private (appointment only) falconry facility located in the Capital of the Fens, Wisbech. We run experience days, school visits and private functions as well as Flying Demonstrations at events.
Bought as a present. Fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff are so knowledgeable and obviously love their birds. Small group made the experience much more personal. We got to handle the birds and also had a flying display where we were allowed to have the birds flying to us and landing on our gloved hands. Totally enjoyable day for any animal lover.

The Animal Experience has moved to our new site at Stretham, a family business founded in 1995, offering hands on experiences with a wide variety of snakes, lizards, tarantulas, meerkats, coatis. We have Royal Pythons, Brazilian Rainbow Boa, Anaconda, Burmes Pythons, Cornsnakes, Milksnakes, Boa Constrictors, Leopard Geckos, Bearded Dragons, Blue Tongue Skinks, Turtles, Tortoises, Berber Skinks, Day Geckos, Tegus, Water Dragons, Tarnatulas, Cockroaches, Snails and Frogs and more in the Reptile room and our staff are happy to get some out for you to touch and hold, Outside in their purpose built enclosures we have 2 mobs of meerkats who love climbing on people and using you as their look out post - book a meerkat experience to spend 30 mins in with these cute creatures, feed them etc, then our gorgeous Coati's Yin and Yang who for adults only can be fed and climb on you - these are strong sturdy animals but very tame. Our Owls room is work in progress but Ronnie the Barn Owl is often there when not out at events - we attend schools, children's parties, wedding, corporate events and our animals are used for film and TV work. We operate a booking process so your family/group or just you can have an individual experience with a keeper so although we are small we are very hands on and love to give you any information about our wonderful animals many of which are rescued. We have a toilet on site but no cafe although offer cold drinks and chocolates, crisps, but very close is an indian/chinese buffet - Mango Valley and the Lazy otter Pub. Sat Nav sometimes takes you to a lay-by, we are the next turning on the right before A10 car sales if coming from Cambridge towards Stretham - we look forward to welcoming you.
Absolutely loved our time here! A great place with really friendly and knowledgeable staff that have a clear love for their animals. The animals are very well cared for with a large range of reptiles, insects, birds of prey, meerkats. Lots of things to see. The meerkat experience itself was amazing. So great to get to hold and spend time with them. They love the attention and it really was so much fun! Hazel was a great host, very friendly and relaxed. We really did have a great morning and couldn’t recommend coming here enough!! Thank you!!

One of the colleges of Cambridge University that was built on the site of a 12th-century nunnery, and which today features spacious grounds and a pretty 16th-century cloister court.
We had been invited back to the College to a luncheon celebrating the 60th Anniversary of my matriculation in 1959. We turned the luncheon into a mini break by spending two nights b&b in West Court, from which we had easy access to the Chapel, the Master’s Lodge, Hall & Upper Hall and most other parts of the College. The room in West Court was most comfortable, well appointed and genuinely outstanding. The receptionist at West Court was friendly and extremely helpful; breakfast was good albeit without my favourite cerial 'All Bran' and the service acceptable (if not over enthusiastic). We thoroughly recommend West Court as the place in stay in Cambridge.
