You could not want for more - walk to town, cycling, golf, walking, countryside - superb all round

I stayed here with a friend for a wedding we had near by. The annex was great, clean and had loads of space. Helen was very friendly and communicative and even left us some milk, tea, bread etc which was much appreciated on Sunday morning! Would definitely recommend.

Very welcoming. Great room with a lot of space. Location was great for Rutland water, 10min drive. Lovely to have all the bits for tea/coffee and more for breakfast. Fresh bread was a perfect touch.

We had a lovely stay. We were at a wedding not too far away. The annex was perfect for me and my wife, even though our visit was brief it was the perfect base.

My Mum and Dad had a wonderful stay and said how welcoming and special they were made to feel making sure their stay was perfect.A lovely place with just the right amount of facilities

Superb in every way. Thanks for letting us stay, highly highly recommended

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful country location. There was everything there that we needed and very friendly hosts. Amazingly comfy bed! We will definitely be back!

We stayed here on the first May Bank holiday weekend as we had friends camping close by and did not fancy camping ourselves since we knew from bitter experience how cold of a night time it can get at this time of year. We booked at story notice surprised by how much cheaper it was then other places we had been looking at and therefore a little dubious as a result, We were delighted with how lovely the place was, ample big enough for the four of us, the room was very cosy and our host Helen had left some basics for breakfast and hot drinks which was a nice touch. There are lots of family games which entertained us in the mornings and a large TV. Though they have a couple of dogs, I did not hear them once during the visit from the room and we slept soundly since it was so quiet. Helen and her husband went above and beyond in order to make our stay most comfortable including ensuring the heating was on when we returned each night, sorting out any plates needing to be washed and making our boys beds. We would definitely come back here again.

Great seperate anex, felt like having our own little house, perfect for a couple. Loved the location as has easy access to Oakham and Rutland waters. Helen was so discreet but still gave us the confidence that if we needed sth she was there to assist. Overall very good experience.

Great place to stay. Convienient location close to town center in lovely town of Oakham. Considerate owner, can recommend and we would happily stay there again.

Lovely house, excellent facilities, very comfy beds and furnishings. Excellent value for money, we stayed with three teenagers and plenty of room for everyone. Good quality equipment and beautifully decorated. Walking distance to the beautiful town of Oakham and central to surrounding attractions. Would recommend and hope to return in the future.

Our stay at Tracy's house was perfect. The place was clean, comfortable with anything one might need and in a nice and quite location. Oakham is a very lovely small town with nice shops and restaurants in the centre which is within 10-15 minutes walk from the house. I would definitely recommend Tracy's place for anyone visiting Oakham or nearby places.

Honeysuckle House is perfect for anyone interested in exploring this area. Rutland Water is fantastic for people interested in birdlife: lots of different waterbirds and the ospreys. But look further afield too: the Clipsham Yew Avenue is worth visiting and there are other ancient woodlands if you are interested. Stamford is worth visiting but don't neglect Oakham itself. The Lord Nelson has such a great atmosphere - a range of different rooms, good food and, of course, Oakham ales. Tracey keeps Honeysuckle House spotlessly clean. It's cosy, has all mod cons and is a great base from which to explore. Honeysuckle House is also very reasonably priced. We stayed as a family of five and I recommend Honeysuckle House warmly and without reservation. Oh and there's a convenient chipshop about 100 yards down the road!

It was an absolute joy staying at Tracey's immaculate and cosy family home in Oakham. We were so close to the lovely town and walked everywhere. The house had everything we needed and more and I recommend it for families and couples. THANKYOU Tracey for being a wonderful host.

Honeysuckle House is a perfect home away from home. A very comfortable, spacious, well furnished and equipped home. The home was also very clean. We were attending a wedding in Oakham and it was perfectly located for this. There is plenty off-road parking at the front of the house and a small garden at the back. Definitely a perfect base to explore local attractions.

I will definitely be booking this one again. As described and better.

Overall, we were very pleased with our decision to stay at Honeysuckle House. The beds were very good, especially the King-size in the master bedroom. A washing machine would be more useful than the provided dishwasher, in our opinion, or for there to be more crockery/cutlery, as running a load for a handful of plates and knives/forks does seem somewhat extravagant. Internet Wi-fi would be appreciated, but we got by OK with EE 3G via mobile phone setup as a hotspot, which gave us a 1 to 3 mb/s connection with OK latency. Neighbourhood was fine, no problems with noise or traffic, it's all very peaceful. Driveway is gravelled and fits 3 cars easily. Tracey provided some festive Christmas decorations and a tree with lights - much appreciated!

A perfect place to stay to explore the area great walks from the door and many places to eat.The Chapel has a definite Wow factor, its beautifully equipped and extreemly comfortable.Dont let the open plan aspect put you off as if you are sitting downstairs you cant see anything happening upstairs or for that matter from one sleeping area to the other.Just a lovely place

Dear Samantha and Colin It was great to meet you Colin and we look forward to our next visit Diane and John.

This was our second stay at the Chapel and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It is a delightful conversion, providing clean and comfortable accommodation, convenient for all the many attractions of Rutland.

We stayed at The Chapel last week whilst at Burghley Horse Trials. It was an ideal location with a lovely country pub - only 100 yards up the road!

My parents really enjoyed their long weekend stay at the Chapel as a birthday gift. Huge thanks to Samantha and Colin.

Thank you very much for being so helpful with our stay, we all had a fantastic break and loved the Chapel. We would love to come back another time!

Just arrived home from Samantha and Colin's place. It was fantastic! Lovely quiet village but close enough to everywhere we needed to go for the long weekend. We arrived after a LONG drive to find our shopping had been collected and put away for us. Lots of baby things for my daughter which was a massive help because the car was full. The house was clean, tidy and quirky. Lots of dvds, magazines and books. I could have stayed for a week. We loved it. Colin was great- cluldnt have been more helpful. I hope me and my partner can return (child free!) for a nice relaxing weekend it would be ideal. I will 100% be returning. I wish I had found this place sooner.

The Chapel is a brilliant compact 'cottage' with a modern Scandi type feel, but without compromising its architectural heritage. It is very well thought out with every space used to include not only the essentials for a short stay, but many more amenities. We loved it!

An ideal retreat after an evening of organised badger watching just round the corner. Alex made an excellent recommendation for eating ('The Fox and Hounds' in Exton), offered us a friendly welcome along with his extra-friendly puppy and served us a hearty breakfast which set us up for nearly a whole day of enjoying the surrounding lakes and wildlife. We had a great time.

You will not be disappointed (but very hard to be when the pictures are so inviting). I have just returned from a two night break with my partner. Kate and Alex's hospitality was amazing. Friendly and gave good recommendations to the area. Alex, thank you for your wonderful breakfasts..we needed the motivation to leave the comfy bed. The Linney was small but cosy and had all that we needed. Alex brought us milk for tea and we were given menus for breakfast on arrival. The Linney looked out across fields and, although we were close to kate and Alex's house we still felt secluded. The location was spot on with only a 5/10 minute bike ride to the Rutland water, decent pub in th village but easy access to local villages with Stamford only being a 13 minute dive. We will return and I have already told my family who I'm sure will take my recommendations. Thank you Alex and Kate!

We stayed in The Linney and the high standard of finish seen in the pictures is exactly what you get. Kate and Alex were accommodating and personable hosts. Anyone booking here will not be disappointed

The Linney is a beautifully converted farm building and sits slightly separate to the main farmhouse. It is exceptionally clean, comfortable, characterful and high spec, blending heritage with comfortable contemporary style. Located near Rutland Waters, it is a perfect location for walks ( a great nature reserve nearby), pubs serving great food and beautiful little towns and villages to idle round. Alex was a wonderful host; warm, friendly and we were so well looked after. Breakfast was all locally sourced food and delicious, with a variety of options. It really was like staying in a five star hotel, with all the warmth and relaxed atmosphere of a welcoming family home. We would definitely recommend a stay in Alex and Kates B&B...you won't be disappointed...

Had a really wonderful stay... one of the best airbnb (or general bob/hotel) experiences I've had, very strongly recommended! Breakfast is incredible, such a high standard and several filling courses available if you're greedy like me! There was a great balance of quiet privacy, and very helpful and friendly chats with both Alex and Kate. The place is beautifully presented with lots of thoughtful details like yummy coffee bags in the room and underfloor heating in the bathroom. The location is fantastic, in a classic pretty English village a short walk from all sorts of facilities like bike hire, climbing, boating, and a fun looking aqua park. The pub opposite does very good food, as did all 3 of the other local eateries we tried. (Thanks to Alex for good recommendations.) Scamp the dog is very friendly and well trained, lovely to have around. It's a great place - you'll enjoy your stay! Just one tip - download the directions from Alex in advance, as phone signal is patchy around the village. Luckily friendly locals in the village and pub helped us find our way!

Great Location for Rutland Water and general exploring. Charming and friendly hosts, fab accommodation and breakfasts. All was perfect.

Beautiful location. Spacious, bright, thoughtfully decorated & furnished accommodation. Organised, friendly, professional hosts.

I never give 5 stars but Alex and Kate really deserve it, they're a reason to visit Rutland! The room was immaculate and beautifully decorated, absolutely silent at night and such a comfortable bed! A really relaxing stay (with epic breakfasts) it's perfectly situated for all the activities on Rutland water.

Comfortable and clean, this was a lovely house to stay in. Michael's communication was always quick and efficient, and his instructions on finding and checking in to the house were absolutely spot on. Once there, we were only a short walk away from the numerous shops, restaurants and pubs on Oakham High Street. A great place to stay.

I can't rate this house highly enough. Everything was perfect - just like a home from home. We felt so comfortable and cared for. Just brilliant.

Wonderful modern home (with parking) in a great town. Clean throughout and all the tea we could drink! Hosts were very flexible as our travel plans changed.

The house is very conveniently located close to Oakham. I appreciated the quiet and very clean home which is well equipped and comfortable for a weekend.

Great secluded location, walkable distance from restaurants, pubs, gas station, etc. Very clean with a lot of facilities in the house, great communication with the host. Fully recommend it to anyone staying in Oakham.

We had a lovely stay for an event at Rutland Water. Location is great, just a 15 minute drive from Whitwell. The house is perfect, loads of space yet very homely, will stay again if in the area! Michael was great with responding to messages in the lead up and made sure everything was available.

This was a brilliant find. Great to have your own private accommodation, equipped with all the essentials (and even porridge and hot chocolate!) the Garden suite was clean, comfortable and really warm and cosy. Mark was the perfect host, showing us to where we were staying and being friendly and welcoming and then leaving us to our own devices. Would highly recommend booking with him :)

Everything you need for a comfortable stay and very quiet. We had privacy which we always like and the communication was great. Our decision to stay was somewhat last minute so we were grateful for such prompt communication and flexibility. Great value for money. Perfect place to stay when visiting Stamford, we really enjoyed it. Thank you.

A lovely little annexe type room, which was very comfortable. Being able to come and go as we pleased was lovely as we were not restricted as to what time we had to be there in the evening. A superb location with stamford right on your doorstep and Burghley house 10mins drive. We really enjoyed our stay.

Sadly not what I personally would expect from a listing stating entire flat. Photos don't really show the little amount you are getting. Wi-Fi intermittent on an extended. Entire flat really consist of a bedroom and bathroom. Amenities ok if you want just somewhere to sleep for one night. Provided instant porridge but no means of eating it. 2 cups but no means of washing up other than in bathroom sink. Towels. 2 bath no hand. Somebody else's used almost empty toiletries ( for men) most draws wardrobe full of thier items so couldn't utilise the space fully. Coat hanger x4 with thier items. Plug sockets consisted of extension leads. Read the listing carefully as there isn't even a TV. Our mobile phone coverage was none existent. The quiet country road is actually rather busy.

Private spacious and clean + their was porridge tea,coffee and hot chocolate. Great

We found Will's place easily by following the clear directions provided. Uppingham is a lovely village. We were welcomed with a G&T and made to feel right at home. Their home is lovely with a comfy bed and great bathroom. There is plenty for breakfast. We were out most of the time but enjoyed friendly company when we were in. We would certainly stay again if in the area and would recommend staying there. The village does have a church with bells though, so if you want a lie-in take some ear plugs. We were up early so this wasn't a problem.

Tucked away in a quaint alley in the centre of a charming town, this was a great location to break my journey. The hosts are super charming and helpful. I had a delicious meal at The Lake Isle and the local pubs are worth dropping in to as well. Very comfy bed, toilet and bathroom right next door. Great big rain shower too. A very pleasant stay.

We booked this accommodation less than 24 hours prior to arrival and so were worried about how long the booking process would be. Within minutes we had a reply from Will to say we were more than welcome although they wouldn't be there. We were tole to treat the place like our home and help ourselves to tea / coffee. The house is in a beautiful spot and ideal for us as we were sailing at Rutland water. It was clean and very cosy. There was slight trouble finding the hidden key but can't blame our hosts for that! Will actually telephoned the next day to check all was well. Parking outside the house is not possible but plenty of spaces available on the very nearby road. Bed was extremely comfortable, my husband reported it was the best nights sleep he had had in years! We are sure to be booking again ... if they will have us!

Perfect hosts and wonderful home. Location perfect. We'd really rather keep this one secret as it is so good.

Lovely house with beautiful decor. Will was very organised with Check-in and always replied to my messages promptly. Room was lovely and has a very comfy bed! The cats are also very sweet and add a homely touch, which means a lot coming from a dog person!

If you're reading this to decide whether to book, read no further, just book! Amazing hosts who left us wanting for nothing, beautiful clean room, ideal location... felt so natural being there, thank you both!

Sarah and Will are awesome hosts! The place is immaculate and the flat is very well located in Uppingham. There are many options to eat out or to take away close by. I strongly recommend to stay at Will and Sarah's if you come in the area.

Will and Sarah have a beautiful flat in the centre of Uppingham which my friend and I stayed in as we were going to a wedding nearby. They were away for the weekend so we had the place to ourselves but they were so helpful before we arrived ensuring we had somewhere to park and everything we needed. The flat was lovely and clean, the shower was amazing and it is located in the centre of Uppingham next to the market square with lovely shops and cafes just a minute away. Would definitely recommend their home and we would stay if we go to Uppingham again. Thank you!

Lovely place and felt very welcomed

A lovely private annex comfortably big enough for three people. Quiet and cosy with a little kitchen, bathroom with electric shower and bath, tv and sofa and lots of dvds. We had a lovely stay and Julie was so welcoming. It was great to be able to make cups of tea and the breakfast things were very much appreciated. Thank you.

Julie and Gerry were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable and in a quiet area very convenient for us. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed our stay. Julie and Gerry were very welcoming and very helpful with dog walking routes! Would definitely recommend staying.

great location and very clean.Many thanks.

Clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need.

The accommodation was very comfortable in a completely separate wing of the main house. It is ideally situated for access to Rutland water which is what we were interested in. Julie made us feel at home and then left us to come and go as we liked. A lot of local information was given in the guest book and we had a good dinner at the friendly pub down the road. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend Julie's place.

We have had a very comfortable 3 night stay at the West Wing. Very clean, well described with thoughtful attentive hosts. thoroughly recommended.

Great room, lovely people! Will definitely stay with Chloe again if I'm in the area.

Myself and a friend stayed for a night. Very pleasant, friendly and accommodating to our arrival times. We would happily stay again and recommend to people.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Chloe was very friendly and had some great local knowledge for good pubs - plus the bakery! Very clean and tidy house, highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Chloe

I had a lovely stay at Cloe'splace, which is a warm and welcoming home. Everything was really easy with Chloe and I'd happily stay at her's again.

Chloe is very welcoming and easy going. She lets you just get on with it and is always there if needed. Lovely clean family home. I hope to stay again when I'm in the area. Thank you.

Lovely home with Chloe and a very quiet and lovely 4 month old little girl. Easy going home and very very clean and rural for those scenic walks!

Chloe was there for our arrival, very welcoming, showing us what we were welcome to use, she even reserved a space in the fridge for us. Everything was very clean and tidy and the bathroom a good size, with a bath and shower. The use of the coffee/tea machine in the bedroom was handy with milk, sugar, tea and coffee available. There is a nice pub within walking distance (The Sun) that serves reasonably priced food and Rutland Water is a short drive/cycle ride away. A lovely, welcoming young family, I can recommend.

The stay was great and Chloe is a great host. I would definitely recommend staying with Chloe to anyone looking to say in the Rutland area. Many thanks see you again soon.

We had an excellent stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed and the patio was great to sit out on.

Lovely house in a beautiful location. The house is clean, modern and welcoming. We wouldn't, hesitate to book again.

This is a beautiful cottage of high quality, even better than the photos suggest. The owners take great care to look after their guests. The garden is very private and the patio captures sun for breakfast and in the evening. The village is lovely and with beautiful views.

Great place which is well placed to visit many interesting places in Rutland. Well equipped and very comfortable.

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage, which was a perfect home from home! The living space is airy and bright, and the kitchen has everything you need. It's completely private, and check-in was seamless. I absolutely loved it!

Very nice new property. Sam and family extremely friendly and helpful. Some problems with plumbing in shower which Sam immediately helped with as soon as informed. Fresh eggs and a bottle of wine on arrival very nice touch.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning part of the country! Very comfy bed, great quality furnishings and everything you could need in the kitchen. Lovely touch having freshly cut flowers and a bottle of wine :) Beautiful places to visit locally - Burghley House, Rutland Water, Stamford is a beautiful historic place! Perfect for a romantic getaway in the countryside :)

This was literally a last minute booking and we was really pleased. The accommodation was great and in a peaceful location, but not far from some lovely villages and towns. Would definitely recommend this property.

Katherine's flat is well appointed, clean and user friendly. The area is very quiet. There are lots of amazing things to see in Oakham that we were unaware of.

Awesome place!

Very cosy and comfortable apartment. Great communication with the host. Walking distance to the town center. Highly recommend. Would love staying there again when I am in Oakham next time.

We were in the area for two days of outdoor activities at Rutland Water and Somerby Equestrian Centre so Katherine's apartment in Oakham was ideally situated. The accommodation itself was exactly as you see in the photos, very comfortable, fully equipped and beautifully clean. Katherine kindly met us at the property and everything worked out perfectly for our stay. We did walk into Oakham for an evening meal and it is a 25 to 30 minutes walk; the apartment itself is in a very quiet residential area.

Lovely place, very clean and roomy, we had a great stay and would definitely return.

The apartment is very modern and cosy. Close to the shops and walking distance to the local town. Highly recommended.

Great flat. Walkable distance to the town. Would definitely stay again

Great communication and was there waiting for us at check in. Also happy for us to stay a bit later as it was free the next day. Everything as described and Kathy was very helpful about the local area.

A wonderful, comfortable home to stay in with lots of animal companions and wonderful sculpture to enjoy. I really enjoyed my stay and Tessa made me and my dogs very welcome. I shall certainly be returning!

Tessa was a great host, her house is beautiful and she made us feel completely at home. Fresh eggs for breakfast from the chickens, comfy beds and a hammock in the garden that our daughter was sad to leave, we couldn't have asked for more.

Tessa was a such lovely , great host ! She was very helpful and thoughtful. We can't recommend her enough ! Thank you so much Tessa!

Just finished a lovely visit at Tessa's beautiful home in Barrowden with my two boys. We all had a great time and really enjoyed her home and hospitality. Great home base in the English country side to explore London, Cambridge etc... Thanks Tessa

This is a very peaceful home Tessa is a great host. Nothing was too much trouble. I would have liked to spend more time at such a peaceful location. We arrived late and had to leave early after a superb breakfast kindly presented and prepared by Tessa.

Tessa's place is a great stay with a touch of farm in it. Everything we could have needed was readily available. Her small friends (Luna, Taco and Molly) were an absolute cheer and would never let you fell lonely at all. Breakfast in the Garden was an add-on and her sculpture studio should not be missed! I would suggest 'airbnb'ers to book her house if you are looking for a peaceful stay away from the city chores.

Tessa is the most relaxed and friendly hostess you could hope to encounter. Three of us plus our dog felt immediately at home and had a wonderful few days in Tessa's beautiful home in stunning Barrowden.

A charming house and location and Tessa was very welcoming. Great facilities - clean, beds very comfortable, spacious and quiet in a very pretty village. Excellent breakfast with fresh eggs and raspberries from the garden.

Lovely room. Flexible host. Very clean As state no parking at site

Marco was a great host. Lovely room in a really nice home. I ended up running behind schedule and Marco made special arrangements for me to be able to check in later which I really appreciated. Many thanks

Marco's place is well situated and close to all aminaties. Marco made us feel welcome in his home and we will definitely recommend staying with him.

Lovely little properly, ideally situated just a short stroll from the town centre. Good facilities, plenty of space and a very comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

Marco was a very friendly and welcoming host who made us feel very comfortable. The room was a great size with a very comfortable bed and good amenities. A great location, really close to the town centre of Stamford. Would definitely stay here again.

Marco was very friendly and communication was excellent throughout. The house was a great location and within easy walking distance of the centre. The bed was very comfy and we had access to everything we needed. Would stay again

Flat is comforable and Marco is a very nice host.

Found this place the morning of our stay, Marco was great at such short notice! Very friendly guy and non-intrusive. Very interesting place, really old building, loved the furniture (a great mix of old and new). Easy 2 minute walk into town so great location. Parking pretty easy, on street though but Marco told us the best places to park. Really good coffee and loved the little touches. We'd definitely stay here again if we were visiting Stamford. Thank you for a great AirBnB experience.

Lynn's cottage is immaculate ad very comfortable. It is in a quiet village with a shop next door and the pub just round the corner. It is perfect for a quiet weekend away relaxing. Lynn was the perfect hostess, always willing to help and she even posted a item of clothing which had been left behind to us without being asked. Thank you Lynn. Don't hesitate about this cottage. Just book it ! You will have a great time.

Great place to stay. Ideal location! Only thing to comment on was we found the wifi didn't work, which normally wouldn't be an issue at all, but we were trying to arrange house viewings and interviews in the area, so this made things a little more challenging. Otherwise, a lovely, bright house in a superb location amongst the hills in a beautiful village with welcoming hosts.

Market Overton is a peaceful and friendly picturesque village. The Old Post Office is very well presented and the hosts are warm and friendly. Great place to stay and explore the surrounding countryside .

Cute property in a stunning location with the charming boutique town of Stamford just a 5 minute drive away where you will find a wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants catering for all. Lucy was an exceptional host and the property was equally wonderful - very clean, tidy and comfortable. Would definitely return and highly recommend...

Perfectly described private en-suite room/coach house. Simply decorated, lovely and cosy and a peaceful gorgeous location. Also lovely surprise welcome coffee and prosseco which was very much appreciated!! Was exactly what i needed and i would definitely recommend and stay again...

This room is as nice as the description sounds. No disappointments. Lovely area to stay and recommend the Northwick Arms for food, but best to book.

Superb loft space, ideal for us, very close to Stamford, Burghley etc

Wonderful loft space above a garage, in a quiet village, Lucy the owner was very friendly, helpful and welcoming, she had kindly left us biscuits and wine, and there was clean towels and wash gear in the bathroom. If we had needed there was a selection of dvd's too.

Hello everybody, Lucy´s place is just wonderful everything is very clean and very new the bed was really very comfortable with a choice of hard and soft pillow and reading light, there is a couch and telly and dvds,water cooker for coffee or tea, and cups, wine opener, wine glass, water glass ,everything there heating was great if you need to turn on. In the bathroom lovely step in shower. It is set in a very quiet road in the village of Ketton with beutifull walks, Lucy is a warm welcoming host and ready to help with any questions etc, I would recommend this place highly for couples, single parent with older child, or singles. I was single there, I loved it Thankyou for everything Lucy
