Hotels in Over

Over is a small village, so formal hotel accommodation within the parish itself is limited, and most visitors looking for a hotel base will look to nearby Cambridge, St Ives or Huntingdon, all within a short drive. Cambridge offers everything from budget chains to boutique and historic hotels close to the colleges and river, ideal for combining a stay with sightseeing in the city as well as day trips out to Ouse Fen and the surrounding Fenland villages.

St Ives, a handsome Georgian market town on the Great Ouse around five miles from Over, has a smaller but characterful range of inns and guesthouses, several with riverside settings that suit a relaxed few days exploring the water meadows and market squares of Huntingdonshire. Huntingdon itself, a little further north, adds further choice along the A14 corridor with easy access to the wider Fens.

Wherever you base yourself, the flat terrain around Over makes for easy onward trips by bike or car to the RSPB reserve, the river, and the villages of Willingham, Swavesey and Earith, so a hotel in one of the nearby towns need not mean missing out on the quieter charms of the village itself.
