Orchard Pond is a welcoming bed and breakfast located in the picturesque village of Whittlesford, just a short 10-minute train journey from the centre of Cambridge. Offering a peaceful countryside setting with easy access to the city and surrounding Cambridgeshire attractions, it provides an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration.
The property features three comfortable and individually styled guest bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. Every room has been carefully furnished to create a homely and relaxing atmosphere, combining comfort with thoughtful detail. Guests can enjoy amenities such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, tea and fresh coffee making facilities, fresh milk and homemade biscuits. One room overlooks the garden and includes a double bed and a small sofa bed with an adjacent private bathroom. Another offers a double bed with a modern en-suite shower room, while the third, located on the ground floor, features a wrought-iron double bed and a spacious private bathroom just across the hall.
Breakfast is an important part of the Orchard Pond experience and is typically served in the dining room. During warmer months, guests have the option to dine outside on the decking or beneath the shade of a large whitebeam tree, enjoying views of the gardens and resident chickens. Each morning, breakfast is freshly prepared to order using locally sourced ingredients, with a wide selection available including a full English breakfast, cereals, fresh fruit, juices, tea, coffee and warm pastries served with homemade or locally produced preserves.
Guests are warmly welcomed on arrival with a selection of Janet’s homemade cakes or biscuits, accompanied by a hot drink or a refreshing cold beverage, setting the tone for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. With its combination of thoughtful hospitality, peaceful surroundings and convenient location, Orchard Pond offers a charming retreat for those visiting Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area.
