The cottage was comfortable,cosy and spotless. Thereâs nothing that we would change and itâs position in Oakham was perfect with it being close to all amenities but in a quiet street with a secluded garden. We will definitely return!

Everything is perfect - the cottage is beautifully presented, scrupulously clean and equipped with everything we needed - and some things we would never have thought about - our hosts have thought about everything! The location of the cottage is perfect - just a few minutes walk from gorgeous Oakham with its lovely little cafes, boutiques and restaurants. We particularly recommend Otters for breakfast and lunch, The Larder and Fika for coffee and The Wheatsheaf (at nearby Greetham) for dinner. Best of all our hosts - Val and Dave - are superstars - they are kind and super generous. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage - it's a 10 out of 10 from us!
