Chittering Farm sits in the privacy of the owners’ arable farm accessed by a private road and is conveniently situated between Cambridge and Ely. The house was rebuilt from an old barn and affords every comfort for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Situated on a busy working farm the property is an excellent choice for large family get togethers or friendly reunions that require spacious accommodation. It is the ideal base to explore Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk. There are cycle routes to Cambridge and Ely easily accessed from the farm. Some guests may prefer to relax in the private (unfenced) 1-acre garden with its 4-acre paddocks and enjoy the facilities on-site or nearby.
Aqua park and wakeboarding on-site, a short walk from the property. There is also a tennis net and a large football goal in the garden. A games room with table tennis, pool table and dart board. Ely Leisure village 5½ miles has swimming pools, multi-screen cinema, health club, eateries and a driving range with 9 hole golf course and fishing is available locally. A stay here will also provide the opportunity to enjoy the rural location of the farm, with farm and river walks, bird watching and cycling. Located on the edge of the farm is Stretham Old Engine. Erected in 1831, it is a well-preserved example of a steam engine used to drain the farm in the early 20th century.
The city of Cambridge is 10 miles away, famous for its colleges, museums, tours and botanical gardens, where visitors can also try their hand at punting on the River Cam or enjoy a wealth of shops, cafés and restaurants. The city of Ely with markets and local shopping is 6 miles away in the other direction, steeped in history with its impressive medieval cathedral and long river frontage where you can enjoy a boat trip or riverside walk. If you fancy a trip to the beach the North Norfolk coast is less than 50 miles away, the Royal Sandringham Estate less than 40 miles, and Thetford Forest, famous for its walk and cycle routes only 35 miles away. National Trust properties can be found at nearby Wicken Fen, 5 miles, and Anglesey Abbey and gardens 13 miles. Newmarket is also 13 miles with music nights and race days, and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford 24 miles, so there is plenty of scope if you feel like exploring the area during your stay.

Those wishing to book wakeboarding or the aqua park please contact 01353 649683 and indicate you are staying at Chittering Farm. Please note this is a seasonal / weather dependant activity please refer to website for more information.

Great property for a family catch up
We have just spent a lovely weekend at Chittering Farm. The house is fantastic for a large group with great amenities and comfy beds. The property is well located - not too far from Ely and Cambridge. The only downside was the access to the property- the map provided didn’t really help with access at night and the process to get through the barrier was difficult.

Jane was very helpful and friendly. The house is amazing, spotlessly clean, with a wild rabbit. Everything is provided for your need, right down to the last detail, including a welcome pack.

Chittering Farm 31/3/23
Beautiful, very spacious house. Exactly what we needed as a base for all the family for a wedding in Cambridge. All the rooms are well appointed with plenty of storage and clean and modern bathrooms. Everything was exactly as described and the welcome pack was a lovely extra. Would advise arriving during daylight hours for ease locating the property as it is very rural.

Not the first time that we have stayed at this location.
Not the first time that we have stayed at this location. 12 adults, 1 child and two dogs ! Great for family get togethers. Located in the middle of a working farm but you are undisturbed. Everything supplied by the owners. Nice and warm in the winter and lots of space and games outside in the summer. You need a car to access the local shops but the Lazy Otter pub is within walking distance.

Accomadation, cleanliness and comfort all great. Our group had a fabulous week there. Road to the property leaves a lot to be desired but due to the large increase in price for next year we will not be back. However this would not put me off from recommending it to other people.

A perfect place for a family celebration.
A perfect place for a family celebration. The welcome was warm (we particularly liked the half a sack of potatoes and packs of celery from the farm - nice touch!). It was quite novel being deep inside an active agriculture area. However we were still within reasonable reach of a pub and convenience store. The house was very spacious. The enormous kitchen was definitely the heart of the home. The range cooker was out of this world. The only drawback was that there were issues with the water pressure that were outside the hosts' control - but they compensated us for that. Could do with just a little more cutlery I think. Otherwise - spot on! A memorable time.

We had a great time as a family party. House was very suitable and comfortable. We found it very spacious for dining outside with large table,umbrella and plenty of chairs. Have to mention the new bathroom/showers that have been added since last year. Really excellent. We were very impressed.

Everything was great - 10 people - 2 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 children (10-14) and Max the dog - everyone loved it! There was something for everyone - lots of space, huge garden, BBQ, pool, table tennis, trampoline and the ubiquitous goal! Thank you for a great family get together!

It totally suited our family group. Everything was as described. A little remote but that somehow added to the enjoyment but wouldn’t be for everyone Top quality bedding and towels are always welcomed but not always provided. The owners seem to appreciate that these things and other touches are important. We had a great break in a lovely cottage.
