New Manor Farm - Huntingdon

Y L.

A Peaceful place to be in life. Jasper, the beautiful horse and the owner and my friends there made me a meaningful journey visiting New Manor. I did my nice photograph project of sheep, they’re extremely beautiful and well cared. Appreciate with my full heart to experience British farm. Thank you.

The owner Maggie is such lovely/grumpy combination. She is a darling woman with really super interesting and lovely stories. The place is really away from society so you actually you disconnect from everything I love the animals and the farm life is so versatile and hard work. Abi the horse and Tilly dog are lovely. recommend this place if you want an English experience and get away from everything and everyone.

Maggie is just delightful and couldn't have done more! Absolutely lovely place to stay with great local pubs to choose from. We were really made to feel welcome and to come and go as we pleased. It's a working farm so saw the hay being turned and due to the heat that weekend, the horses were washed down on the back lawn, just by the 'alfresco' dining area. As soon as we can, we'll be booking again!

If your looking for something out of the way, quiet, relaxing and to engage the countryside, this more traditional venue is the place for you. If you’re looking for all the modern decor, then go to a modern hotel, but this place has much more to offer than those cookie cutters. It has real English country charm along with Maggs as the proprietor who is a truly outstanding host and, conversationalist. Great cook too! It’s also an honest working family farm which does not intrude on its guests, but will, in itself, rouse your curiosity to explore the 20 acres surrounding the premises. Definitely a high point during my visit to the U.K. Truly awesome!

It is an actual farm / ranch, the proprietor "Maggs" is the kind of person you would expect to run a horse property as a B&B. The manor is a bit dated as Maggs admits but really, it is what you imagine a small manor in rural England would be like. There is ample space and sitting rooms you can use and grounds to walk around. The room we used was spartan but acceptable. There is also an updated small cottage that is available. Maggs makes fresh bread for guests and lays out a hearty English breakfast. We were done with Cambridge and Maggs clued us into several small area towns, we visited 3 of the towns and probably had one of our best days of our month in England and Ireland thanks to Maggs' suggestions.

Three of us travelled to Huntington to meet friends and we needed somewhere to stay for the night. Well what can I say, from the moment we arrived we were made so welcome. Tea and cake in the lounge after being shown to our rooms. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely we all loved the homemade bread. Would definitely return here for longer next time. Loved the dogs. Location was beautiful and not far by taxi into town. Thoroughly enjoyed our brief but memorable stay here. Thank you.

New Manor Farm is beyond compare. This is a storybook place come alive. The property is 20 some odd acres of working farm, manicured garden, and wood. There are three well apportioned rooms and a fourth well suited for children; all have there own dedicated facilities and no bad views to be found; either you're looking out upon horses grazing in pasture or a lovely English garden.

The proprietor, Maggs, is every bit farmer, horse whisperer, loving mother, and stodgy Brit... I personally admire all these traits. Tilly is the home's resident canine, and while she'll bark on your arrival (as a good dog should) she'll quickly demand your full affections.

As for dining options, your stay includes a traditional full English breakfast and if you're lucky, homemade country bread. Additionally, there is no shortage of amazing Cambridgeshire English pubs in the area for lunch and dinner... But feel free to use the farm's glorious kitchen should you be the type who enjoys making a meal or two for yourself. There is ample refrigeration to keep your own supplies fresh.

This is a place of respite. You'll have WiFi and telly, sure, but don't use them. Walk the grounds, greet the horses, sit by the fire in the drawing room, and just be. New Manor Farm was built from an ethos of resilience, self reliance, and a connection to the land. I'm so happy to have found this place.

Had a lovely break at New Manor Farm's yurt.||It is situated in 20 acres of mainly open fields, the peace and quiet only broken by the family of peacocks in the nearby neighbouring manor garden.||The yurt is quite a new venture but it was well equipped, spacious and extremely comfortable.||We enjoyed a cooked breakfast a couple of times which was lovely. Joe was very friendly and helpful at all stages of our visit.||We have two dogs, a boxer and a French bulldog, that loved walks around the grounds and sharing sausages on the wood fire.||A very nice break - coming from someone that dislikes camping!
