Located in the historic market town of Soham, this charming 16th century Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a wonderfully characterful escape for families and friends. Sleeping up to seven guests across four bedrooms, the cottage blends centuries-old charm with the comforts needed for a relaxing countryside stay.
Inside, you will find a welcoming home rich in period features. Exposed timber beams, and traditional details reflect the building’s heritage, while comfortable furnishings create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The living spaces are perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the local countryside, whether that’s enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, sharing meals together, or relaxing with a book.
The Hoops sleeps up to seven guests across four thoughtfully arranged bedrooms, making it ideal for families or small groups travelling together. A convenient ground-floor bedroom and bathroom provides easy access for all guests. Outside, the property offers the timeless charm of a traditional thatched cottage garden, perfect for soaking up the sun.
Beyond the cottage, Soham provides a welcoming base from which to explore the surrounding region. The town itself has a long and fascinating history dating back to Saxon times with pubs and restaurants. Its relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere make it a lovely place to slow down and enjoy the best of English market-town life. Pop along to Anglesey Abbey to see a working windmill. Children will love The South Angle farm park which is a family run petting farm.
Just a short drive away lies the cathedral city of Ely, famous for the magnificent Ely Cathedral, often referred to as the “Ship of the Fens.” Here you can wander through historic streets, browse markets and independent boutiques, or enjoy riverside walks along the Great Ouse.
The wider Fenland landscape surrounding Soham is perfect for outdoor exploration. Flat, scenic routes make the area especially popular for cycling and walking, with expansive skies and peaceful countryside views that change beautifully with the seasons. Nature lovers will enjoy visiting Wicken Fen, one of Britain’s oldest nature reserves and a haven for wildlife, walking trails and traditional fenland scenery.
For a day trip with a little more bustle, the world-famous university city of Cambridge is within easy reach. Spend the day punting along the River Cam, why not have some strawberries and champagne whilst gliding along the river exploring historic colleges, visiting the many museums, or enjoying the city’s excellent cafés and restaurants.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful countryside retreat, a base for exploring Cambridgeshire’s historic towns, or simply a unique stay in a beautiful period home, this delightful thatched cottage in Soham offers a memorable and characterful getaway in the heart of the Fens.
