This is a superb place to stay and easy to get to Melton Mowbray, Oakham and Rutland Water. The rooms were very clean and tidy, with a large comfy bed. I had my coffee outside in the little private courtyard, which was very relaxing. The owners left some yummy cakes and fresh fruit for us which we very much appreciated. Lots of hot drink choices and the little kitchen was a real treat too. We will be booking again.

I received a warm welcome and the room was clean and spacious. There was fresh milk and fresh fruit available in the mini-fridge, which was thoughtful; also, delicious home made chocolate cake! This suited me perfectly for a one-night stopover on my travels.

Amazing stay

We stayed for a wedding- even though the check in fell at a difficult time for the wedding (at the Old Cow Shed) Fran went out of her way to help us get the key, and then gave us a lift to the venue. Room was warm and comfortable with tea, coffee and fresh fruit. Fran also facilitated a late checkout. Couldn’t ask for anything more, and significantly better than the alternative of the travelodge!
