Spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped with high quality items and lots of very thoughtful little extras to make us feel welcome - a great way to start a holiday, we very quickly felt at home there. We loved the location too. Short walk to town and station but still very quiet. Thank you so much - we will be returning.

The cottage was comfortable,cosy and spotless. Thereâs nothing that we would change and itâs position in Oakham was perfect with it being close to all amenities but in a quiet street with a secluded garden. We will definitely return!
