We've used Sykes for years now and have to say this property is one of the best we have stayed in.
Very clean and tidy upon arrival. It was nice to find a stairgate already set up so that the dog couldn't get upstairs, without us having to find something to block the stairs off. The kitchen is lovely and very well equipped, nice to have some essentials already there like salt and pepper. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that we would've liked some small glasses or even plastic cups for the children to drink from but this is certainly not a complaint. Everyone loved the property, all the bedrooms were excellent, comfy beds and nice and warm. The location was great for us as we visited the Space Centre in Leicester, went bike riding at Rutland Water, walked the dog every morning from the doorstep and daughter went on a riding hack at Somerby Equestrian Centre before we headed to Melton Mowbray. The garden was excellent for the dog being so enclosed (Rottweiler). On the way home we visited Foxton Locks. Nothing was too far away. The shop over the road was an added bonus. Very well stocked and a wonderful welcome. We didn't use the pub next door as they don't have a children's menu but did eat out in Oakham and also in Melton Mowbray at the Anne of Cleves, which was very dog friendly and excellent value for money. All in all, an excellent property and I feel we will be back next time we visit Rutland. We didn't have any communication at all from the owner, but neither did we need it. On leaving the property we had some trouble with the exterior key box as the door on it wouldn't lock into place for us to scramble the numbers. We do know how to use one as have one ourselves and was getting quite concerned that we'd have to leave it open - which we didn't want to do. Eventually, after a bit of stress, it finally shut into place so we could lock it and leave. This might need looking at. During our stay we used the kitchen door and rear garden to come and go so hadn't had to use the key safe. A wonderful property and well looked after.

I had a wonderful stay.
Due to circumstance I found myself holidaying alone but I felt safe and comfortable at Grooms Cottage. Had some good chats with Alistair, the owner. Mable and Olive, the owners friendly dogs, came to say hello too. Basics provided on arrival along with fabulous homemade cakes so you can have a cuppa after your journey. The hosts were friendly and available but didnât intrude. Plenty to explore in the area and a great Sunday Roast was had in Hallaton. Huge portions! The cottage is clean and cosy. If you get the weather, the patio is a real sun trap all day so take sun cream if you want to sit out. Yes, thereâs a country road and yes you can hear cars when they pass but they are so infrequent itâs of no consequence and I echo others in saying this was a very comfy and peaceful holiday. Finally, I was awed by two Red Kites that liked to circle around the fields and above the cottage garden. A great sight.

Proâs - the cottage is lovely, excellent vibe, fab layout with a great garden.
Perfect parking with easy road access and simple to travel around. The Rose and Crown next door is also great, lovely food and atmosphere and still really quiet at night. Conâs - needs a good clean. Cigarette butts in the garden, fingerprints on light switches, dusty skirting boards but the worst are the ovens. Neither cleaned with dirty trays (so we had to clean one oven and the trays ourselves) and the door on the bottom oven doesnât close properly (potential health and safety issue?). The other problem is the linen provided, towels too small, no hand towel in the upstairs bathroom and the bed linen was quite tatty. For example, the sheet on the bed in the room next to the bathroom didnât fit and kept rising up. We did love the cottage and enjoyed staying there. If both the cleanliness and linen were sorted, the cottage would be superb rather than pretty nice.

We enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage very much indeed.
The cottage was most comfortably furnished and as well equipped as oneâs own home would be with a beautifully modern hob and oven. It was warm, comfortable and spacious and the many added extras were most appreciated (including the delicious âwelcomeâ cake!) The setting (a handy mile and a half from the main A47) in the quiet, rolling east Leicestershire countryside was perfect for a relaxing holiday with lovely vistas and a secure area for the dogs. The owner was very friendly, extremely helpful and left us in private unless we needed him. The resident dogs were gentle and friendly and perfectly behaved. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage especially to those seeking a high quality and quiet dog friendly cottage within easy reach of numerous good eating hostelries and we hope very much to return when we are next down visiting family in Leicestershire.

A great space for our group, with a good amount of kitchen equipment, storage, bathroom essentials, etc.
We had comfortable warm rooms, and plenty of places to be, the kitchen is really nice to sit around and muck in with the cooking, the dining table was perfect for our jigsaw, and we had the lounge and and nook upstairs available for chill out time. If any negative it is a more general one that the check out time of 10am does not leave a relaxed amount of time to complete all check out tasks, including bed stripping, dishwasher emptying/loading, cleaning etc so we were not able to enjoy breakfast before heading off, but this seems to be increasingly the norm thesedays. The pub next door is perfect for an evening meal, and the area is lovely to explore. Everything was well explained in the welcome pack and we had a very enjoyable stay.
