The details
Walnut Tree Cottage brings together 300 years of history, beautifully considered interiors and a wonderfully peaceful setting beside the RSPB Hope Farm reserve. Tucked away in the Knapwell Conservation Area, this Grade II listed thatched cottage is an idyllic choice for couples, small groups and restorative escapes. Its standout feature is the private outdoor copper bath for two, where you can sink into warm water beneath open skies, listening to skylarks by day and owls after dark.
Step inside and the cottage feels every bit as inviting. Its thoughtful renovation celebrates the building’s heritage while introducing stylish modern comforts, creating a relaxed country retreat where slowing down comes naturally. Settle into the cosy living spaces with a book, enjoy lazy evenings together or simply appreciate the peace after a day exploring Cambridgeshire.
The high spec kitchen is well equipped for everything from unhurried breakfasts to leisurely dinners at home, with an oven, fridge, microwave and cookware provided. It’s a lovely space for settling into the rhythms of cottage life, whether you're staying for a weekend or making Walnut Tree Cottage home for a little longer. Fast WiFi and laundry facilities add extra convenience for extended stays.
When bedtime arrives, there’s comfortable accommodation across the main cottage and separate garden annex. The sleeping arrangements include one king size bed, two queen beds and a double sofa bed, with three bathrooms providing plenty of space to refresh. Guests have exclusive use of the entire property, so you can settle in and enjoy complete privacy throughout your stay.
Outside is where the cottage’s special setting really comes into its own. Step onto the private deck and lower yourself into the deep copper bath for a soothing soak surrounded by nature. The bath can be enjoyed throughout the year, making crisp winter evenings every bit as appealing as long summer nights. With the RSPB Hope Farm landscape directly behind the property, birdsong, open fields and expansive skies provide the backdrop. After sunset, the peaceful rural setting also makes for some wonderful stargazing.
Knapwell is ideally placed for discovering the Cambridgeshire countryside, with scenic walks, cycling routes and nature on your doorstep. RSPB Hope Farm is directly behind the cottage, while the historic city of Cambridge is within easy reach for days spent exploring its famous colleges, independent shops and riverside scenery. Head out for a punt on the Cam before returning to your peaceful village retreat for one last soak beneath the stars.
