They are really nice family, very friendly, helpful and communicative. They helped me in all the situations, if I had questions how to get somewhere or where to buy something, as it was my first stay in that place. Christine is a wonderful cook, I will always be very thankful to her for delicious dinners and nice evening talks about my days.
This village, Over, is a very quiet place where you can relax after a busy day. The house is very good and I had everything I needed.It is located 30 minutes walk or 10 minutes by bike (which was given to me by the family )))) from the guided bus stop, then 10 minutes to Cambridge by bus.
I highly recommend this place and this family!February 2014

Thanks for your hospitality and your kind help!
There are 2 bus services to Cambridge, so it is possible to go there on Sundays and bank holidays too. The second bus station is a 2 mile walk, but very enjoyable, and the bus from there is faster. The area seemed absolutely safe to me, and Richard and Christine helped me with every problem.April 2012
Although the bus connection could be better i had a great time including delicious breakfast and "tea" (dinner) and the silence of a suburban village. I got lots of great impressions during my stay as well. Richard, Christine and their two children were very nice and due to some conversations i also improved my knowledge of the English language.
Kind regards from Berlin.October 2011
Sehr schön

nice family but next time i'll choose a single or a divorced woman for my homestay. I think it can be easier to feel relaxed.

La familia me a gustado mucho, son simpáticos y agradables. La mujer cocina muy bien y tienen dos niñas que son dos huracanes.
La única pega es la ubicación de la casa, solo pasa un autobús cada hora.
Cambridge es precioso!April 2011
This is a real lovely English family. We felt like at home. Buses every hour to Cambridge with a middle stop in Tesco shop. Nice breakfast and perfect dinner.
