Nice CL
Lost acres is easy to find and and within easy reach of Cambridge and surrounding villages. Nice big grass pitches & pleasant dog walk from the site. A good value for money CL.

Beautiful and quiet, VERY GOOD VALUE!
Right next to the actual CL there is a beautiful meadow that is kept long for butterflies and insects. The pitches themselves are all beautifully kept, short grass and each pitch is unususally big, has space enough for two awnings and a tent if you want. Each pitch has a short mowed access way.
The animals on this smallholding are very well looked after as pets and very friendly, ideal for kids of all ages, especially at feeding times. Beautiful dog walks at the bottom off the site on the fens, goes on for miles. Loads of wildlife to behold. electric hook-up is the old type, turn it before you plug in (similar type all over the country). The owners are very nice and welcoming and you can even buy fresh eggs. We have returned here several times and it is one of the friendliest and most welcoming CL's one can find.
Our children loved the animals
Clearly signed entrance off a straight local road with pull in drive to locked gate (combination is given when booking). Very friendly owner. Our grandchildren loved their time watching and stroking the sheep, pigs, ducks, chickens, rabbits. Choice of large grass field or modest sized gravel hardstanding. Choice of EHU or not. Very reasonable prices. Will return.
An extremely quaint site.
We stayed for 2 nights. Lovely setting and good walking from the back of the farm field. Cycling was easy as the traffic was light and the quiet lanes were plentiful.
Peaceful & quiet…
A lovely peaceful spot in the fens surrounded by pigs, sheep, chickens plus the sounds of nature đŸ˜„
A lovely break in the Fens
Peaceful site with big sky views and characterful animals. Although we had to cut short our break and so only managed three days, Imogen was a fabulous host and we would definitely recommend it.

Peace among the pigs and chickens
It's a bit tricky stopping at the right place on the dead straight road, but we spotted the sign. Imogen had given us the combination for the lock in advance, and she appeared while we were opening the gate and recommended a shady spot (the weather was very hot) next to the chicken coop. We were worried about being kept awake by the cock, but all the chickens were put to bed quite early and let out in the morning quite late. There is a lovely atmosphere here, and apart from having to drive two miles through the village of Cottenham, Cambridge was easy to access. We used the Milton park and ride, which is completely free if you have a bus pass. In the other direction, Ely is well worth a visit, and there are plenty of other places of interest. One little grumble: the electric hookups are rather old fashioned, and when you have plugged in your cable you have to turn the dial to the On position, which is not obvious. You also have to turn it to Off before you unplug. Imogen was happy to help us with this, but maybe there need to be some instructions. .

Lovely simple site which is excellent value
Cracking site which is great for us when visiting family in Cottenham. Animals are an added attraction and Imogen is an excellent host.
We used grass pitch and no problem with conditions.
Little bit if traffic noise from main road at peak times but not really an issue.
Well recommended and we will defintately be back.
A very friendly CL
We stayed here for 3 nights in mid October. The owners was very friendly and we were impressed with the covid safety practices put in place. We stayed on the hard standing as it had been very wet but the field in the summer would be amazing. This is a working small holding and our children (aged 8, 7 and 5) loved looking at the animals, especially the very friendly chickens who liked inspecting what you were doing! As it is a working small holding and it had been quite wet, places (on site and beyond) were a bit on the muddy side. Our only minor gripe would be the site looks a little untidy compared to some we've been too but then it is a farm, it is October and it is only £12pn! We would definitely stay here again.
Local area recommendations:
Wimpole estate
Milton country park
Ely cathedral (great photo trails for children)
Ferry meadows country park in Peterborough
Superb site
First let me say that the CMC website won't let me add ratings so assume they are all 5.
Lovely site with added attractions of pigs chickens and sheep - all in fantastic condition. Easy access to the Cambridge-area tourist attractions. Warm welcome. Recommended.
