    Great location and sizeable property. Nice views from each room and very clean and comfortable.

    A house full of history and character. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The dairy, with extra fridges and a sink, was very useful. Thankfully, in a house of such antiquity, the bathrooms were very much C21! The open fires...

    We all loved the beautiful grounds, the enormous well equipped kitchen and all the quirky features of the house. Our family enjoyed the piano and the outdoor games. We appreciated the way Mirek responded to our questions before our arrival.

Olly
Escape the city and relax in this beautiful 15th century countryside house. Pounce Hall is within an hour of London and 20 minutes from Cambridge. The house provides a cosy atmosphere and the perfect place to come and make memories with family or friends. Light up the log burner or the open fireplace in winter. The well equipped kitchen with AGA will make cooking together a treat. In the summer head out and fire up the BBQ and enjoy the beautiful gardens.
You will have the house to yourselves. If you need assistance. Mirek lives 10 minutes away and can provide telephone assistance or stop by the house if necessary.
