About The Orchard at Fen End Farm
Fen End Farm includes 117 acres of fabulous organic farmland, run with all things eco in mind and offering more than enough space to spread out and relax. Bring your tent and choose from four grass pitches scattered amongst the orchard apple trees. As the parking is in a grass field adjacent to the orchard, wheelbarrows are provided to transport your belongings to your camp. A campfire by your pitch and a few marshmallows is the perfect way to rustle up an evening snack. For glampers, take your pick from a wide range of accommodation. Relax in the handcrafted yurt, which has its own king size bed, wood burner and space for five or cuddle up around the fire pit for an evening under the stars. There are also two traditional bell tents with double beds and a glam tipi with a king size, each with the warmth of a wood burning stove. All include their own fire pit. Sorry, no dogs allowed here.
The Orchard at Fen End Farm is open from 03/05 to 28/09.
Site facilities include a nicely kitted out shower shack with compost toilet, shower with hot and cold running water and a wash basin. There is even a parent and baby washroom. Next to the shack is the communal facilities building, the Apple Hut, a small kitchen area with washing up sink, fridge, crockery and cutlery. Eco washing up liquid provided.
From the farm you can purchase firewood and kindling, organic apple juice, and zero waste apple juice ice lollies. Just over a five minute drive from the site is the Hop Bind pub.

We enjoyed a great stay here in the yurt. It was comfortable and cosy and very spacious. The yurt was located in a nice orchard and there was sufficient space between campers for them not to get on your nerves. The yurt comes with a wood burner but it was so warm, we didn't need to use it to keep warm. It rained heavily on our last night but the yurt was still warm and waterproof. We enjoyed the remoteness and wildness of the location. The service was great and the host very responsive and friendly. The site was close enough to both Cambridge and Ely to visit them by short car journey. We would highly recommend.

A fantastic, secluded spot in a serene countryside orchard, only 20 minutes or so from Cambridge. We enjoyed a night under the stars and around the fire with their own homemade cider.
