Family-friendly vacation rentals in Leicestershire

Location was excellent for our purposes (in the center of the city, few minutes walking distance from the University, the market and the railway station) The host was a bit slow in responding before arrival in the UK, but issues regarding were resolved upon arrival at the airport. Overall the apartment was in good to excellent condition apart from some issues which were considered minor due to the relative short stay of 8 days. (One window was very tricky to open and close, the freezer needed some defrosting, one of the faucets had a broken drainer, no towels or sheets were changed during the length of our stay)

Wow! Our group of 9 ladies have had the most amazing weekend at this lovely property. We loved the warm welcome from the hosts & very much appreciated the goodies left out for us & helpful instructions. We were lucky to have beautiful sunshine, enabling us to make the most of the wonderful garden. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and making s’mores in the hobbit hut, as well as yoga on the lawn & watercolour painting under the apple tree - a truly blissful girls’ weekend! The bunnies & Welly the pig were gorgeous! The house was clean & there was plenty of room for the 9 of us, we barely used the lounge and dining room! We also hired the games barn & it was like having our own little pub & a great evening’s entertainment. We would have loved to have stayed longer & tried out the pizza oven. We enjoyed a long walk including the spooky railway tunnel & a great meal over the road at the pub. We couldn’t have asked for more and would love to return! Thank you Hannah & Noel :)

Had a lovely stay in the lodge. Beds comfy, place was clean and luxurious, great to have robes for when utilising the hot tub. Temp of hot tub did unfortunately vary and was cold on first night but soon sorted through instructions from host. Overall a very lovely stay with beautiful views and secluded quiet environment.WiFi a bonus! Lovely touches including bottle of wine, welcome note and folder providing info on local area and places to eat. We enjoyed visiting the foxton locks, the local tearoom and the local market for some lovely fresh produce.

Celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was absolutely lovely, we are definitely going back! Lynden was so lovely and gave clear instructions that made finding eveything so easy, love our tour of the farm and feeding all the animals that were so friendly! The room was really nice and decorated so beautifully & really appreciated the complimentary snacks. We loved the hot tub, lighting the fire for our marshmallows, and how close the animals got to us! Was a lovely place to stay felt so at home and welcomed, would define my recommend :)

Amplio y bonito apartamento y gran hospitalidad por parte de Leslie

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful little cabin tucked away in the countryside. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and relaxing, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. David, the host, was incredibly welcoming and friendly. He even left us a complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch and really set the tone for the stay. The cabin itself is cosy, clean, and well equipped, with stunning views over the surrounding fields. It’s so quiet, serene and ideal for unwinding, especially with the hot tub just outside. The outdoor space is great too, with a BBQ and plenty of room to enjoy the fresh air. We only stayed a couple of days but left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you’re looking for a peaceful countryside break, I’d definitely recommend this place. We’d love to come back again!

We loved our stay at this beautiful lodge! The pictures really don’t do it justice, it’s just on the edge of the property so no one is overlooking you and it felt totally secluded and private. We also enjoyed a few good walks and yummy carvery Sunday lunch at the Foxton Locks pub.

Just got home from a lovely, relaxing stay here. Met up with 5 friends who now live all over the country and this was a great, central location. Tom met us as we arrived and showed us how everything worked. House was clean with some quirky lamps, each bedroom had an en-suite plus kettle and cups. The hot tub was a perfect addition. Lost many an hour chatting away while sat in it. Would definitely stay again.

We really loved our stay at Ryecroft Lodge, we were visiting Download festival nearby in Donnington and it was wonderful to have somewhere like this to decompress and relax between the festival days. The house is beautiful, very thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and wheelchair accessible too. Caroline is a great host, giving great, clear instructions and checked in with us at the beginning and end. Thank you, we hope to return again!

Lovely home ,spacious,tastefully decorated ... great terrace to sit out on overlooking a pretty park..quiet peaceful area. Kitchen had everything you would need including milk/cereal etc which was an added bonus .. felt very safe..host was very informative and helpful .Perfect for our ladies day racing weekend .. would come back Thank you

This was our first Air B&B experience. If Hugh and his Emma are anything to go by as hosts we will always choose this option over any hotel. They helped us out of the way to make us feel at home. We were in-between selling a house thus required a month long place to reside. With the amount of baggage and luggage we could not have stayed anywhere else. The family let us use their shed space and took the burden off us. The entire property is just "wow". Endless green fields with local habitat, horses in barns, pet chickens and beautifully landscaped gardens around the whole palace like estate. A month is a lot of time but the family was very proactive to any queries or requirements. The dwelling itself has a lot of character, Endless paintings and views to die for. Not to mention the collection of multitude of books. The host had provided detailed information pack about anything and everything. We wish them prosperity and happiness in all future endeavours. Hugh do take a break!

While there was a slight issue with our accomodation Olga was an extremely responsive host and sorted the issue out within the hour (even though the issue arose during the night) I dident expect how quick she was to react and that was amazing to see from a host. The house was clean and tidy, beds were extremely comfortable and it was very quiet and peaceful inside. Would definitely recommend to others and i would definitely stay again

Utterly wonderful place to stay - beautiful location , spotlessly clean , excellent welcome basket of goodies , comfy sofas, comfy bed , big bath towels ,so many thoughtful touches. Better than the photos . Really responsive and welcoming host . Have already rebooked . A real find .

Really enjoyed our stay, great people around us making us feel right at home beautiful area and lovely hosts

This booking was for my uncle to stay while visiting us (we live locally). He found it very comfortable and Lindsay very helpful and pleasant. He had his car parked there and all was very safe and secure. Would recommend.

I had a wonderful stay here — the house is cozy, quiet, and full of warmth. It reminded me of my university days in Nottingham, and for a few nights, it felt like I had traveled back to that time. Thank you for creating such a comforting space. I’d definitely love to come back again!

We stayed June 1st to 7th. Strawberry Lodge is located on a working farm and has fabulous views across the countryside. The sheep come right up to the house and are fun to watch. The kitchen is extremely well appointed and we made good use of the space. The local area is very rural but close to Rutland Water and we visited Barnsdale Gardens, Burghley House and the Workhouse in Southwell. All are recommended for visits. Finally, our hosts left a very generous welcome hamper which we very much appreciated.

What a great place to stay much much better the pictures. The bathroom was unreal. Would definitely recommend staying here. Supper clean. Has everything you need.

Excellent location -safe neighbourhood within easy walking distance of the train station and town centre and lovely local park. Off street parking, accommodation facilities as listed, comfy double bed. Great value for money.

We had a great stay. Everything was as described on the website and in the photo's. Lovely quiet location, ideal area for quiet walks and exploring the local market towns. The house had good facilities, plenty of crockery, towels etc and a nice homely feel. Having two sitting rooms was a bonus. We went in winter and enjoyed the open fires too. Definitely recommend.

I was arriving late and Chris met me at the main road so I could follow him to the place. He was great, he showed me the access and details of the place and left me to it. He brought logs over for the fireplace which was great as I hasd't bought any. The place is small but you have what you need. Room was warm and cosy and the setting is just amazing. if you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of daily life...this is the place to come. There is another Lodge across the other side of the lake but not close enough to disturb your privacy or in view of each other. I went to Market Harborough which is the nearest town..they have some fantastic restaurants and cafes and bars...plus a waitrose,.aldi etc just 10 to 12 mins drive away. You are very secluded at the Lodge..you are immersed in the countryside so great walks and views plus you see lots of wildlife around you. I will definitely be visiting again

Greenman Cottage was perfect for a short break for us. Cosy but comfortable and had all the facilities we needed. Martha was a great host and easy to communicate with!

Exceptional ! Extremely tasteful renovation and furnishings make this cottage an idyllic five star retreat. Photos do not do it justice. Very spacious, comfortable accommodation within beautiful gardens. Delightful hosts, very friendly , helpful and welcoming.

Excellent and responsive hosts. A clean and bright space. It is a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Nottingham.
