Happy resident (Current Resident) wrote a review in June 2023
"Good schools, great community activities, beer festival superb, lovely walks straight out of the door, so close to Ely/Cambridge for low commute times - even to London (many commute regularly to London from the village). Everything here for children (2 playparks, rec, football and cricket, guiding groups, theatre group, community cinema etc etc). Tennis courts and MUGA are about to be built. Pretty great really - bats way above average for size of village. No pub but Haddenham well appointed and easy walk. Always feel safe.
