Medbourne is an old settlement in the Harborough District in the county of Leicestershire. Medbourne was a Roman hamlet on the route from Leicester to Colchester, but it is now a conservation area with antique stone cottages, huge beautiful buildings, and green pathways that combine to make the village one of the most picturesque in the Welland Valley. The community has a mediaeval stone bridge over a brook, a beautiful church, a typical pub, and a post office that sells the necessities.

It is advertised as having central heating but it has plug in oil filled radiators which is not central heating. Some China is chipped & cracked Duvet was old & very heavy. Not up to the standard we expected.
