High quality barn conversion near Cambridge to enjoy countryside & city
Located 8 miles west of Cambridge, in the Cambridgeshire village of Bourn, The Bull Pen is a high quality build designed to keep a feel for its history and location. It is a comfortable and peaceful place with open space indoors and outside for friends and families to enjoy. All the rooms look across traditional pasture with mature oak and ash trees, hedgerow and then arable fields beyond. It is ideal for a holiday combining 'time in' the city and 'time-out' of the city! Traveling into Cambridge is easy; there is a Park&Ride bus station just 10 minutes drive away.
The main kitchen/dinning/living area - Open plan with floor-to-ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling with steel beams. The new kitchen is well equipped and has a large oven/grill, electric hob, microwave and fridge. There is a comfortable dining area and lounge area for up to 6 adults with Smart TV. For warmer days there are French Doors leading to a patio and a garden snug area to enjoy the outdoor space and BBQ. And for cooler winter days, The Bull Pen is cosy with constant thermostatic underfloor heating and large triple glazed windows so you can still enjoy the view of grass, trees and big sky.
Snug room with Smart TV and sofa - This room is also where the laundry facilities are: washing machine, tumble dryer and drying area.
Bedroom 1 (first floor) with ensuite: a spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom with a kingsize bed with large velux windows to watch the night sky.

French Doors open to a patio area. This room is also suitable to anyone needing easy access with no steps and has wide doors through to the main living area.
Bedroom 3 - (ground floor) also a twin or double; two single beds will link/zip together to make a king size double. A compact room but with a very comfortable bed, and has an ensuite shower room and a private adjoining Snug room with sofa & Smart T.V.

Families with young children - We are a working arable farm with occasional machinery working in the adjacent farm yard and also some cattle in the meadow. We welcome all family members, but for safety reasons, The Bull Pen is ideal for families with older children (7+) or babes in arms. If you have a young family and are unfamiliar with farm safety, please call me to discuss your needs and to check suitability for a safe & enjoyable stay.

With a vehicle, this was the perfect spot for a few day visit to Cambridge for our party of four adults. Super inviting, immaculately clean, and quite thoughtfully prepared. Would highly, highly recommend! 10/10!

Wonderful lodging- cannot say enough about how great this place was! Even with no AC there was lots of air circulation that kept things very pleasant - we didn’t even need the fans provided in each room. Kids loved seeing the cattle and accommodation was very quiet but close to what you might need. Recommended pubs were also very good!

Exceptional property
We had an excellent stay in Bourn at the bullpen and would highly recommend. The property itself is well thought out and very comfortable, the location is incredible, loved waking up to the bull/cows nearby. Five stars.

Fabulous place to stay
A spacious, comfortable, well-equipped cottage with high end appliances and everything we could possibly need to make our stay easy and comfortable. Communicating with Sally was easy and she responded quickly. All in all, a great experience.
