Picture a sprawling estate. Rectory Farm in Cambridge. It’s not just a farm. It’s a storybook setting two miles from the iconic Kings College. Imagine acres of manicured gardens. Fifty acres of parkland and fields surround it. The countryside meets the convenience of town.
Rectory Farm boasts a blend of old and new. Traditional style house rooms offer elegant charm. The adjacent Chalet building provides contemporary style rooms. Delightful gardens complement the scene. The farm is a superb venue for marquee weddings. It’s a place where history whispers in the rustling leaves.
Now picture this. From New Year 2025. Breakfast is served again at Rectory Farm. For lunch or dinner explore local pubs. The Astronomer the Plough and the Three Horseshoes are nearby choices. Paid parking is available.
But let’s shift our focus. Another Rectory exists in Cambridge. This one is a National Garden Scheme opening. It’s an informal garden. It features a grass-cut maze. Cottage garden planting and a vegetable plot complete the scene. Cash payments are accepted only. No coach parking is currently available. Dogs are not allowed. Sadly no wheelchair access is available at this time.
However this Rectory plays a vital role. It provides a sustainable refuge for wildlife. This haven supports indigenous flora and fauna. It nurtures local biodiversity.
Rectory Farm offers a luxurious stay. Ten minutes from Murray Edwards College. This guesthouse features Wi-Fi and parking. The nearby Bridge of Sighs and Jesus Green provide nearby cultural and natural attractions. St Bene’t’s Church is a ten-minute drive away.
The rooms are contemporary. They include writing tables and essential amenities. Modern bathrooms offer hair dryers and towels. Tea and coffee facilities are available. The guesthouse even offers bus rentals and a seasonal outdoor pool. Despite its modern amenities this second Rectory also retains its historical charm.
So there you have it. Two Rectorys in Cambridge. One is a vibrant farm and guesthouse. The other is a tranquil garden oasis. Both unique. Both reflective of Cambridge’s rich history and landscape. Which will you explore first?
