    The house is wonderful - very spacious, full of light, modern but cosy and very clean. Not right in the historical centre but at walking distance, and 5 minutes from a wonderful walk by the river Cam, in a quiet street. Instructions on how to...

As an experienced host, I am excited to offer my place, The Opulent Birches. My fantastic newly purpose built detached house was designed to give guests the best experience possible. Stay in luxury and comfort when visiting Cambridge. This is the perfect self contained accommodation for any occasion. It doesn't matter if you're here for business or pleasure, The Birches is a stones throw from the river Cam and a 15 walk across the park to the city centre.
Hi, I live in Cambridge and love it here. I really enjoy meeting new people and hosting my place. I work in TV as a freelance director and when I'm not working I love to travel. I like providing stress free trips whether its for business or pleasure and hopefully you'll go home with a piece of Cambridge in your heart forever. I have other properties in Cambridge, just search for my website Brewin Properties.
The Birches is set in a very quiet cul de sac, yet its so close to the city centre. There are several pubs, its a short walk to one called The Boathouse, where you can sit in the garden and watch rowers going by on the river. It's also a 5 min walk from the 2 biggest parks in Cambridge, Midsummer Common & Christs Pieces. There are not many places in Cambridge it can feel so tranquil and quiet so close to the city centre.
