    Very quiet and ample parking on road directly outside cottage. Very pleased with the accommodation. Owners live nearby and very friendly and helpful.

  • Leslie

    Weather wasn't too kind to us, but the local pub more than made up for that, with a welcoming feel and very good food. The hanging baskets were particularly impressive. The place has a very villagey feel to it. Easy access to Oakham, which has some interesting shops and houses to visit. We also took in Stamford on the Friday, when an excellent market takes place in the town centre.
