Located in the Cambridgeshire village of Brinkley, Bears House offers cabin-style glamping accommodation designed for year-round stays. Positioned less than two hours from London and five miles south of Newmarket, the property is one of three cabins on-site, alongside Beavers House and Lions House.
The cabin accommodates two guests and includes a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, and toaster. A separate sitting area features a sofa and a television with views over the gardens and lake.
The bedroom provides a double bed with linens, while the private bathroom—equipped with a shower, WC, and basin—is located a short walk from the cabin. Guests have access to an outdoor deck with a table, chairs, and barbecue, as well as a covered electric hot tub for use throughout the year.
Additional on-site amenities include a badminton net, a seasonal putting green, and access to a lake with a small rowboat for guests wishing to explore or visit Duck Island. Visitors can also make use of a treehouse platform for yoga sessions or communal dining. The property is dog-free and can accommodate up to four guests for an additional charge.
Nearby attractions include The Red Lion Brinkley, a traditional village pub offering a dining menu and outdoor seating area.
The location also provides convenient access to Cambridge Footgolf, Newmarket Racecourse, and the historic city of Cambridge. Each destination offers leisure opportunities that appeal to couples or small groups looking for short-term rural escapes.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, Bears House illustrates how small-scale, self-contained accommodations can be enhanced through thoughtful design and added-value amenities.
The combination of privacy, light recreation, and proximity to major destinations such as Cambridge and Newmarket reflects an increasing consumer preference for glamping experiences that balance convenience with immersion in nature.
Operators looking to attract urban weekenders or couples may draw lessons from Bears House’s integration of compact luxury, outdoor engagement, and local accessibility within a manageable operational footprint.
The site remains open all year, positioning it to capture demand beyond the traditional summer season—a strategy increasingly relevant to small glamping businesses seeking to stabilise revenue throughout the year.
