Located in a peaceful location just a few yards from the River Ouse, this spacious three-bedroom period property is a wonderful base for larger groups of friends or family of up to six people. Holidaying hounds will have plenty to do here too, with some super walks and nature reserves to explore in the surrounding area. The three-storey cottage is in the heart of the Old Riverport area of St Ives, with superb shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Enjoying all the modern comforts and contemporary touches you might expect, this delightful three-storey cottage still retains its original charm and many traditional features. The open-plan kitchen/diner is well-equipped and stylish, making it a welcome space to rustle up something tasty for your guests and hungry canine. Tired paws will make a beeline for the cosy lounge after a busy day, to enjoy a snooze at your feet while you unwind and watch a film or two on the comfortable sofas. Cottage-style stairs lead up to a double bedroom on the first floor and then a twin on the second floor, while you’ll also find a further double bedroom, via a second staircase from the kitchen. Outside, fire up the BBQ and enjoy a glass of something tasty, in the enclosed Mediterranean-style patio area.

Take a wander around thriving St Ives and browse its boutiques and antique shops, as well as its many pubs and coffee shops. Let the stick chasers in the family stretch their legs by pulling on your walking boots and heading to the RSPB’s Ouse Fen Nature Reserve, which is 3 miles away. The National Trust’s Houghton Mill (3 miles), a working 18th-century watermill, is a super place to explore and welcomes dogs in its grounds. Venture into the bustling city of Cambridge (15.5 miles) which makes for a great day out.

Really lovely little cottage, right by the river. Great location, and very comfy. Lack of doors to some bedrooms might be an issue (especially if, like us, you've brought your dog!) but I wouldn't let that put you off this beautiful property. Check in and out was very easy - we would happily stay again!

The location of the cottage was great being near to the river and close to shops and very good restaurants. Although old the cottage had all the modern conveniences and was maintained to a high standard.

Nice cottage in a super location. Comfy beds (please note access to upper twin room is via a steep and winding staircase). Good showers, plenty of hot water. Some areas were very clean (notably the kitchen) but other areas were in need of greater attention. Lounge had comfortable seating for 3 people but other chairs were uncomfortable. InformationRead more folder needs updating - Couldn't find instructions for hob, parking info out of date. The cottage is however pretty good value for money. Hide

We had a wonderful holiday using Quakers as a base to tour Oxford, Cambridge and London. Huntingdon train station is a short drive and well connected. Parking is a short walk and free on the other side of the bridge, although you have drive around the town to access it (cant drive over the historic bridge). Follow signs for Hemingsford, London RoadRead more to get to it. You can drive on the Quay to drop/load car. Lots of lovely places to eat in St Ives and all a short walk from the cottage. Hide

The house is nice, good facilities and modern heating system keeping a good temperature around the house. Great location, right in the centre of St Ives. Some appliances were old and not very clean. Nice little courtyard at the back if the weather is good

Don't tell anybody this cottage is top. I is a charming combination of two small 400 year old cottages, now offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a nice inner garden, on a great location.

A great home from home while we were there. Great location in centre of town and good for local amenities, river walks. Two bedrooms don't have doors, so noise/privacy might be an issue for some. Quackers is a characterful property comfortably accommodating up to 6. We enjoyed our time at Quackers.

Pros Cottage was lovely, comfy beds with quality bedding. Great location close to the quay. Fantastic showers. Great wifi. Cons Kitchen layout was awkward for cooking. 2 out of 3 bedrooms don't have doors. Free Church Passage can be noisy at times. Main bedroom window doesn't open. Poor phone signal. We had a problem with the lock on the front doorRead more, contacted the owner and it was sorted immediately - note the management contact number in the folder is better than the number provided Hide
