Set out in the middle of nowhere but close enough to amenities and Ely city. So peaceful beautiful sunrise to wake up to. Spent the days walking and enjoying the area and Cambridge then back to our shepherd hut for a relaxing evening in the hot tub and sitting out on the veranda. All in all a wonderful place to get away from it all for peace and quiet. The knly gripe we had if any was the matress on the bed was a little uncomfortable and thin we could feel the slts through it. Apart from that we had a lovely time and amazing stay thanks 😊

We absolutely love coming to headfen. It’s the perfect place for a quiet getaway. The hot tub and fishing just makes it a perfect place. Make sure to take your food and drink as there’s no local shops around. The bbq is always clean and ready to use aswell. All round... We absolutely love coming to headfen.

The bbq is always clean and ready to use aswell. All round beautiful place. Only thing I would recommend is a new mattress in the Wren hut. We’ve stayed in all different ones and they are all fab!!!

Fantastic little hideaway in the countryside and we felt like we had the whole site to ourselves for the weekend. Hut was perfectly clean and comfortable and the hot tub on the deck overlooking the lake was beautiful. It is worth mentioning that there is a microwave as I don't think this is listed in the advert/info we received and it does make a difference when thinking of meals to bring. Fridge was a wine cooler so a bit tricky to balance smaller items. But these are minor points. We had a fantastic weekend and would definitely consider returning in the future
