Newmarket, on the border of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, is considered the birthplace and national centre of British horse racing. The town's most popular event, the July Festival, takes place in the summer. This market town's main street is lined with independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. The magnificent High Street Clock Tower, the King Edward VII Memorial Gardens, the War Memorial Gardens, and Cleveland House are also notable. Visit historic Cambridge and its beautiful university buildings and take a punt along the river (13.9 miles). The Imperial War Museum at Duxford (17.1 miles) is a must see for history buffs, with regular air displays throughout the year. Newmarket has a train station with direct service to Cambridge and London (1 mile). When you enter the cottage, you will notice a good sized lounge with a cosy feel. This light and airy space has a welcoming feel thanks to its warm and inviting styling. The lounge area has a feature fire place, two comfortable sofas and a Smart TV where you can catch up on your favourite shows after a long day exploring the area. Enter the fully equipped stylish kitchen with a dining area which has bifold doors leading onto the garden area, a great space for cooking together using some of the area's local produce. Climb the stairs to two lovely bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds and storage for your belongings. The family bathroom completes this floor and there is also a convenient downstairs WC with a washer/dryer. The courtyard features a table with seats for four where you can have your morning coffee.
