Comfortable, peaceful well-equipped cottage in quiet location in rural Leicestershire. A beautiful, unsung area of the country. We appreciated the welcome biscuits, snacks and pint of milk. If you have a pet this is a pet-friendly (rather than pet-tolerant) cottage. Great communication from Nat & Dan who provided information via Text/WhatsApp. Within easy reach of Woolsthorpe Manor home of Sir Issac Newton (National Trust), Grantham, Belvoir Castle, Southwell Minister and nearby Workhouse (National Trust). 45 minute drive to Leicester - Richard III Centre.
