Overview
Property code: 86556

This family cottage is packed with character and charm, from the thatched roof to the oak beams and impressive fireplace, this retreat will provide a memorable break in this stunning part of the country.

Rutland Water, with its fishing, walking, bird watching, sailing, and cycling attractions is a must-visit when in the area. Birdwatchers will not want to miss the red kites that regularly frequent the skies. The beautiful Georgian town of Stamford is only 5 miles away where you can explore the variety of shops, pubs, and restaurants, and the market too. On the outskirts is the Elizabethan House of Burghley (8 miles) which is open to the public and where the Burghley Horse Trials are held each September. The classic market town of Oakham is 6 miles away in the opposite direction with beautiful buildings, historic sites, and a range of shops and restaurants including a market on a Wednesday and Saturday.

Step through into the beautiful flagstone floored hallway and enter the kitchen. The first thing you will notice is the eye-catching exposed wall and surrounding beams. The kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, steam oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and washing machine, providing a home-away-from-home kitchen for you to rustle up a memorable meal in or just sit by the window and enjoy the view. Step down into the lounge with its pretty windows and French doors leading out onto the patio perfect for al fresco dining. The wonderful wooden floors perfectly compliment the character of the cottage, so sink into the comfortable sofas and pop on the TV or lose yourself in a good book. There is a downstairs shower room with a shower and WC. The dining room offers a large inglenook fireplace which will impress with its beautiful stonework and features – it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a family celebration meal. Upstairs there is a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom, twin bedroom, and a single bedroom. The family bathroom offers a beautiful slipper bath and WC, so don’t forget your bubble bath.

There is a spacious lawned garden which is enclosed by a five-bar gate and mature hedging. Relax on the patio where you will find a bubbling hydrotherapy hot tub and outdoor seating and a BBQ perfect for dining alfresco. There is off-road parking for four cars.

We hired Rose Cottage for Christmas. The cottage is pretty and situated near Rutland water. The hot tub is wonderful and well maintained. The rooms are a good size and there are three large rooms (inclusive of kitchen) downstairs. The fire is not in use, but makes a nice backdrop to the lounge. The kitchen is a good size but could do with some moreRead more cupboard space for food if you are self catering at the property. Hide

A lovely cottage in a quiet corner of Empingham - close to the village store and the pub which we visited for very tasty evening meals. The owners were very helpful, and the hot tub was great. We played badminton in the garden and walked to Rutland water - ithe cottage was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers; plenty of space and wellRead more equipped. There were several people using the annex, but did not disturb us. Perhaps not the best cottage for you if you are bothered by spiders. Hide

Comfortable cottage in a lovely village with good attractions nearby. The owners are very nice and when contacted about a problem were very helpful. The kitchen could do with an update, but the property generally was comfortable. The hot tub and badminton were great fun.

Overall, a very nice property and situation. Rustic, quirky, well equipped and cosy. Plenty to do around the area for the adventurous, and enough luxury for the not so. I am still nursing a sore head from the low beams, but was forewarned about this . Now noticeably ducking through all doorways in our own home.

We encountered several problems, the worst being the dust and dead insects behind the bed. The bathroom sink was blocked, the shower didn't mix well, the sofas were uncomfortable and the towels and bed linen were poor quality. It was disappointing as it could have been 5 star. The hot tub did not make up for the deficiencies.

We had a lovely week with our grandchildren at Rose Cottage. It was in a great location. We could walk to Rutland Water where we played crazy golf and we could hire bikes. The hot tub was a huge success with the children. They spent a lot of time in it The garden was secure for them with plenty room to play badminton etc.

A beautiful cottage in a chocolate box picture village. The garden was ideal for picnics, BBQs with plenty of space for car parking. Another shower would have been advantageous for the seven visitors but understand the limitations with suitable space in a 100 year old cottage. Hope to visit again sometime in the future.
