About this property
Rowan Lodge is a delightful wooden retreat resting on a private, gated site on the outskirts of Greetham village in Rutland. Reached along country roads, this attractive abode is a wonderful choice for a small family or group looking to spend time together while discovering the East Midlands. Arrive at the lodge and take in its smart, dark exterior before heading indoors, where underfloor heating runs throughout the property. Make yourself at home in the sitting area, choosing between two sofas as you put your feet up and enjoy an evening in front of the TV. When thoughts turn to dinner, head through the doorway into the bright kitchen, where fresh white fixtures frame a well-equipped space that includes an integrated microwave and dishwasher to lend a hand with the cooking and clearing up.
Serve your dishes at the dining table and settle in together over a meal while sharing ideas for the following day. As bedtime approaches, retire to the spacious king-size bedroom, where a wall-mounted TV offers some late-night viewing and the en-suite shower room is ready for a refreshing rinse come morning. The bright twin bedroom also features a TV, while doors open directly outside, letting you step into the garden to begin the day in the fresh air. A family bathroom with a bath and shower over completes the interior, ideal whether you fancy a leisurely soak after exploring or a quick freshen up before heading out.
Outside, the enclosed patio garden invites you to linger a little longer, settling among the furniture with a drink or preparing an alfresco feast on the barbecue. Finish the evening with a soothing dip in the private hot tub before heading back inside to relax. Rowan Lodge provides a charming retreat for making the most of a stay in Rutland.

Lodge was lovely, clean and comfortable, excellent wifi and well equipped. There was an issue with the heating - apparently the boiler had an intermittent fault, which meant that sometimes the lodge was chilly. We didnât complain as, because it was intermittent, we thought it was us just feeling the cold more! We mentioned it on leaving and weâre given the explanation. It would have been nice to have been told earlier and perhaps been given an alternative form of heating for when it wasnât working. The only other small issue was the grout in the on-site shower was very discoloured and could do with a good clean. Despite these issues we would return like a shot - itâs a lovely place.
