Oozes character
Lovely warm welcome when we arrived and a quick tour around the spacious property. Set in a quiet quaint village with a popular pub/restaurant. The property was warm and comfortable with plenty of room. Nice welcome pack thank you.Lots of information leaflets to choose something to do in the area. Plenty of walks on the doorstep. The area and house are stunning. Would definitely recommend

A Little Bit of English Countryside
This little house was pretty, very warm and well-equipped for our stay. Our host kindly left us eggs and milk to welcome us. The property is in a ideal location for total peace and quiet or for use as a base to explore surrounding villages. Greater Easton has a trendy pub and a village store for convenience. In a wet, muddy December/ January the Coach House was a lovely spot to spend a few days. It would be really wonderful to do the same in warmer weather when some of the local walks could be taken with pleasure.

Wonderful Holiday!
The house is beautifully decorated, very well equipped and incredibly comfortable. Lovely gardens in a beautiful location. My family and I really enjoyed cycling around Rutland Waters, the beautiful villages and many other attractions nearby. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. We are already planning to go back again. I couldn't recommend more!

A wonderful stay!
This was a splendid surprise of a summer house! We have rented houses around Europe, but never been this delightedly surprised with the house being at least double size of what we anticipated and the charm of it...; all we have to say is wow!! There is hardly any net both mobile and Internet, but to us it made it all more relaxing and charming, the kids found the house's boardgames and started playing at once! Not seen that in a while. The owners, Virginia and Richard, were so friendly and welcoming. If anything we could just pop over and they would fix whatever. We will be back for sure!

House of Downtown Abby and Bridgerton
The house was fantastic. We have rented many houses over the years, but this one was really great. Nice owners. Beautiful location. Superb environment. It was like living in an episode of Downtown Abby and Bridgerton! Everything you needed was present in the cottage.
