Our 16th century Thatched house is situated in the village of Holywell on the Northern bank of the Great River Ouse, which is a traditional ring village. It's name derives from the ancient spring which can be seen next to the 13th century Church.
It faces directly onto an uninterrupted vista of a water meadow, where you can see Heron's, Swans and other birdlife from the house.
For those interested in Wildlife, Fen Drayton Lakes and Ouse fen lie on the other side of the river from Holywell.
At the end of the ring (three minutes walk from the house) is the Ferryboat Inn, which claims to be the oldest inn in England.
