What our customers say about their holidays
Mr Sharpe - Verified booking
When we holiday in the UK we always take extra things with us, like a sharp knife, a large frying pan extra tea towels....that sort of thing. When reading up on The Hatchery, others had stated everything had been thought of. We were sceptical, but we needn't have been! Literally anything you could want from a 'Home from Home' holiday property has been thought of and catered for! Inside the property first impressions were not just how impeccable it was but how clean it was and how beautiful it smelled and the 'Welcome Pack' wow!! this was gratefully received. So many little extras have been thought of, which all mounted up to a stress free holiday. Seriously if you needed something, it was there!! Outside is just as stunning and with plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub was a big hit and was used regularly. We had a truly wonderful week at The Hatchery and would not hesitate to come back and to recommend to everyone. The Sharpe's

The Hatchery is a great place for a weekend away. It was immaculate upon arrival and there is great attention to detail. Every little thing you can think of is provided and more. Plenty of parking available. We thought allowing the arrival of food shopping before check in was very good and the welcome hamper is the best I have ever received. Dogs are catered for and the washing stations at the back are a fantastic, well thought through add on. The garden however is not enclosed so could be a problem for some dog owners. The fire was made up ready for our arrival which was much appreciated. The owners were contactable and responded to my query in great time with effective communication. Would highly recommend.

This is the second time we have stayed at the hatchery. Once again we were very lucky with the weather so we were able to enjoy their big garden and use the bbq and hot tub. The hatchery do the best welcome hamper and we’ve stayed at a lot of cottages and none have them have matched up to the hatchery. The Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and they have thought of everything and it is all of a high standard. The garden isn’t enclosed which we were made aware of but it didn’t cause a problem with our 2 dogs as the garden is so big. Lovely house

Mrs Titmuss-Morris - Verified booking
The Hatchery was an outstanding holiday home for us. We had the most enjoyable time, walking around the grounds, family dinners inside and also dinning outside, making use of the hot tub. It was all exquisite. We came with our elderly parents, who were able to enjoy the house to it’s fullest, as everything they needed was on the ground level. The house had everything and more you could hope to use on a holiday stay. Our hosts were so accommodating and on hand when needed. We would be delighted to stay here again.

Absolutely stunning holiday home! Beautiful quality, every appliance you could wish for. Very comfortable beds and extremely clean, we felt we were the first family to stay as it was so pristine. Lovely celebration and lots of family meals around the table for our sons 30th birthday! Also a lovely walk across the fields to the country pub. Cambridge was great to visit as was Saffron Waldon and all of the pretty houses in Clare. Thank you, we really do not want to leave!
