The cottage is accessed from the high street into a courtyard hidden behind a white door ( right next to the pink shop). You have to walk pass another rental to access the cottage which can be a bit awkard if the guests in the other cottage are at home/outside... it makes you feel a bit like an intruder ..otherwise the cottage is charming and comfi. The Indian restaurant/take away across the road is excellent...and the pub is very welcoming. There is a walk nearby for those coming with a dog.

A comfortable base when exploring a beautiful part of the country.The weather was hot and sunny so it was disappointing to find that only one window was able to open and the duvet supplied was perhaps more suited to the winter months.As keen gardeners, we thought the small area we were able to use required some TLC.

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, nicely furnished & very well equipped. Rebecca is an excellent host. I left an earring behind & she went through the vacuum cleaner to find it to return to me, such service!! I would highly recommend this property.

A great find

When we first opened the door from the main street into the garden courtyard we had a feeling the cottage was going to be special. To find it was so well equipped was an added bonus with everything in keeping with the age of the property. We appreciated the good supply of provisions too. Highly recommended.

A cute cottage with great hosts

We stayed for just under 3 weeks and had a lovely stay. A really charming and cute little cottage, hidden away behind the main street in Kimbolton. Though the kitchen is very compact, the air fryer and induction stove meant we could make some meals, and everything else about the cottage is cozy and welcoming. The hosts are great, and Rebecca was always very swift to respond to any questions or requests. Highly recommended.

A Gem of a Place to Stay!

The Secret Cottage is the most stunning little cottage I have ever stayed in. Immaculately clean, beautifully presented and full of the most thoughtful touches. The bed is even more comfortable than mine at home and the duvet was like sleeping under a summer cloud. The decor was perfection and I will most definitely be booking again. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful secret hideaway!

Lovely cosy place in a gorgeous little town

Lovely cottage, perfect for the 2 of us plus our doggies. Communication before and during was fabulous and we really appreciated the early check in after a long drive. Loved the little touches too, like fresh bread, cereal, etc. Kimbolton is lovely, with lots of nice little walks on the doorstop. Highly recommended. Thank you. We will be back 😊

Cosy Cottage in Picturesque Setting

We loved staying in this delightful little country hideaway and will definitely stay again. The cottage was clean and inviting with the essentials for a warm drink and a snack on arrival. The mix of modern and historical provide a comfortable cosy stay. An open fire would turn this great cottage into perfection itself. Excellent pub The Saddle, across the street serving very good homemade meals.
