    Description

    Blackbarn Wood is a stunning luxury barn conversion set in 7 acres of idyllic woodland and wildflower meadow. With views across the gently rolling Cambridgeshire – Suffolk border it’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge. In the summer you’ll hear the gentle buzz of happy bees pottering around on the meadow. In the winter you’ll wake up to the beauty of clear sunlight through the morning mist as you make your cosy coffee.

    Recently completed to eco passivhaus standards, and designed by award winning architects ‘Mole’, the barn will keep you cosy in winter and cool in summer. The stress will melt away when you enter its light, airy interior, with the old beams featuring in the roof.

    The stunning charcoal kitchen is equipped to the highest standard with everything you’ll need for a perfect break away – full oven, induction hob, full dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge with icebox and seating for four. If you have little ones with you, we’ve got a lovely wooden Baby Dan highchair and a travel cot to make your stay as relaxing as possible.

    In the lounge you’ll find a touch of luxury style as you take in views of the countryside and woodland as you snuggle on the divine velvet sofa and arm chair. It’s fully equipped with a digital TV and sound doc for you to relax with. Doors open onto the generous Indian sandstone patio with stylish rattan garden sofa to spend a lazy day with a book on. When evening comes you can light the firepit and toast some marshmallows or use its grill to BBQ dinner. The patio can be safely enclosed so small children won’t wander off while you’re relaxing.

    The stunning master bedroom, with king-size bed, is decorated with fresh pastel tones which create an uplifting feel in this light airy room. It has its own private patio - a quiet shaded spot where you can enjoy the 2 seater bistro set away from the heat of the day.

    The twin room is fully furnished with style elements of industrial design blended with natural images and shapes. It has two comfortable single beds, a set of draws and side tables. In this room the curtains are lined with blackout fabric to help any younger guests sleep well.

    All beds at Blackbarn Wood have luxury Silent Night Eco Mattresses to help you get that perfect night’s sleep.

    The luxury family bathroom has a bath, waterfall shower and heated towel rail. The barn is also equipped with hairdryer and GHD hair straighteners.

    Beautifully decorated for the whole of December to make your Christmas stay perfectly magical. Including adorable Royal Stafford Christmas crockery for you to enjoy during your stay.

    When you stay at Blackbarn, you’ll be able to explore the 7 acres of private woodland. All year round you’ll spot hares, deer, badgers and red kites gracefully circling.

    If you’re wanting a day out there’s plenty on the doorstep.

    Just 10 minutes away is the adorable Linton Zoo which has just gained its breeding recommendation for its snow leopards. Or 15 mins away is Duxford Imperial War Museum – Europe’s largest air museum. Blackbarn is under its practice path so you’ll often spot the planes flying over.

    National Trust property Anglesey Abbey is 15 mins away from Blackbarn Wood and Wimpole Hall, Wicken Fen and Ickworth House are all about half an hour away. Each one a fabulous day out.

    English Heritage Audley End House and Gardens is just 20 minutes away. And of course, a day out in Cambridge (20mins away) is not to be missed.

    If you’re coming to the racecourse at Newmarket, Blackbarn is just 20 minutes away from there too.

    If you really don’t want to drive, it’s a 5 minute walk into the village of Balsham where you’ll find The Old Butchers coffee shop, serving delicious coffee and cakes, the village store, the glorious 13th century church to look round and two fantastic pubs.

    If you’re bringing you’re bikes there’s plenty of amazing cycle routes locally – both on and off road. Or, if you’re looking for walks, the oldest trail in Britain – The Icknield Way – runs right past the door.

    If you’re a wild swimmer, you’ll not want to miss the opportunity of dipping at the famous Grantchester Meadows (30minutes away) and you can combine the journey with a trip to the equally renown Grantchester Orchard Tearooms.

    The accommodation was warm and comfortable. Not only is the meadow/woodland setting gloriously peaceful, pretty and private, the property is on the edge of the village and it's an easy walk to The Bell for good food. Balsham is an ideal location too for getting to places of interest. We had a fantastic day in Cambridge (using Park & Ride), and extremely enjoyable visits to Ely, Wicken Fen, Anglesey Abbey and Ickworth. All easily reached on good roads. The bathroom is spacious and the shower (over the bath) excellent. The kitchen is well equipped. The bed linen is very good quality. Would definitely recommend this property, and we'll be returning at some point, I'm sure. Thank you.

    Cleaned to a very high standard. Gorgeous views over the meadow and woodland. On a clear night we could see the stars really well which shows how little light pollution there is. The accommodation was kitted out really nicely and we loved the sliding door that revealed the cupboard space with cleaning equipment and extra kitchen tools. More than ample parking and a short walk to the village with 2 pubs, we wondered out for a Sunday lunch at the Black Bull which was great. Excellent links to main routes to wider area. We used the park and ride at Fulbourn to Cambridge. It was very easy to access and well worth doing as parking in Cambridge is very expensive.

    Hello Sarah,

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is always very heart-warming to read about the lovely time our guests spend at our property. I am so pleased you had a wonderful stay and a comfortable and cosy experience which is certainly needed during a winter getaway. It is great to hear that the location benefitted you and allowed you to visit family nearby as well as explore the local towns finding lovely cafes and pubs to spend your time. Thank you for the recommendation and I hope you will visit us again in the future.

    Fantastic property if you are looking for somewhere very peaceful, beautiful and secluded with fantastic views and lots of space.

    The property was well cleaned, and free of clutter and very well equipped from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedrooms. We were visiting friends and family for a get together before Xmas and the house was beautifully decorated with a real Xmas tree, and within 25 minutes of everywhere we had to visit. A really lovely relaxing place to stay and would recommend to friends and family.

    Hello Kirsten, I am glad you found comfort and peace within your stay at Blackbarn wood. I am sure you had a few energetic nights watching the Euros which coupled nicely with the tranquillity the property does offer. Air conditioning would be a delightful touch however it is not something you will find within the UK as our weather rarely finds a need for it. We appreciate your comments and I am glad you were able to experience some sunshine while away.

    A cosy barn with beautiful woodland surrounding it. We loved toasting marshmallows on the fire pit.

    A place of tranquility and peace...
    A guest    
    The attention to details in this place assured us of the warmest welcome! A place of tranquility and peace for us to just 'be' and be able to view and wander in the beautiful woodland. We will certainly return.

    We spent a wonderfully peaceful weekend at Blackbarn Wood. The kids adored the freedom to explore the beautiful woodland. We even spotted a hare!

    The barn is stunningly decorated and immaculately clean. We would definitely recommend this place for a back-to-nature family break and can’t wait to stay again. It’s the perfect place to recharge your batteries

    We had a lovely stay in the woods, enjoyed family time with our Cambridge student, and made some great meals in the fully kitted kitchen. We missed seeing a badger but saw deer, foxes and hawks. Hope to come back again!

    Our family had an amazing time staying at the barn house in Cambridge. The property's location amidst the woods added to the charm, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The natural beauty surrounding the barn was truly breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat in Cambridge. Thank you for a memorable experience!

    Fantastic location and property. The 7+ acres of private meadow and woods with walking trails were phenomenal, a true country retreat!
