The Details
Step into a world of romance and nostalgia with this original 1920s circus wagon, once home to a bare-knuckle fighter from the J. Prestney Circus. Think Peaky Blinders meets Moulin Rouge – an atmospheric retreat brimming with indulgence and theatrical flair, perfect for couples looking for a stay like no other. Nestled within a private meadow on a peaceful Cambridgeshire farm, this one-of-a-kind hideaway invites you to slow down, relax and immerse yourself in its captivating story.
Inside, you’ll discover a treasure trove of antiques and period touches. The bedroom features a luxurious antique double bed with a deep mattress, marble-topped side table and ornate mirror that transport you back in time. The lounge is equally enchanting, with an original writing desk, sofa, armchair, record player and gold leaf chandeliers adding a decadent glow to your evenings. You’ll even find a glamorous dressing room with a wardrobe and antique dressing table, the perfect spot for getting ready in style.
For dining, the private kitchen is a bohemian creation, beautifully crafted from reclaimed antique doors. With a double hob, fridge, sink and table for two, it’s both practical and characterful. The bathroom offers a touch of modern luxury, with a rain shower, elegant basin and Victorian toilet, ensuring every comfort is met while maintaining the vintage aesthetic.
Step outside to your private decked terrace where sweeping views over farmland create a dreamy backdrop for morning coffees or evening glasses of wine. Curl up on the outdoor sofa, cook over the BBQ, or toast marshmallows around the fire pit as the stars appear above. For something extra, you can meet the farm animals, request a guided farm tour, or even add a romantic professional photoshoot to your stay.
When it comes to exploring, you’re perfectly placed. The historic city of Ely is just 20 minutes away, with its awe-inspiring cathedral, boutique shops and riverside walks. In 40 minutes, you can reach Cambridge to wander through cobbled streets, punt along the River Cam, or soak up world-class history and culture.
