The local area has much to recommend it, too. “Thatch Cottage is set within a quiet village surrounded by fields,” say the owners. “The village of Great Gidding itself boasts a corner shop, village hall, a playing field and a popular pub serving Thai food. The location feels very rural, with miles of countryside all around for dog walks and Sunday strolls, often stopping to chat with our lovely neighbours in the village. Yet we are just 10 minutes from the A1 and A14 for connections to the wider motorway network, with Huntingdon and Peterborough both 20 minutes away for trains to London. The picturesque towns of Sawtry and Oundle are also nearby, the latter being home to the renowned Oundle School, and the historic university city of Cambridge is less than an hour’s drive away.”
