Cottage vacation rentals in Rutland Water

Me and my girlfriend had such an amazing time at this place. We’ve had something similar in the past but this one takes the cake. Very private and has an amazing view. Close to the road so sometimes you’ll hear people walking past and cars. But at night you can sit in the hot tub and enjoy looking at the stars. In our case we saw a shooting star while sat in the hot tub. I would 100% suggest this to friends and come again.!!!! Thank you

We used the cottage as the base for our golf weekend and it was perfect for what we were after. The hot tub was a big hit and the BBQ was excellent - all shared spaces were perfect for what we were after. Would recommend to anyone and Ben is an excellent and flexible host!

Check in was really simple and directions to find the place were spot on. Communication was excellent and we felt that we could contact the owners if we needed to. We had a lovely stay and would definitely consider stopping again if visiting the area in the future. The house smelt freshly cleaned when we arrived and was in a peaceful location. It was great to have a small selection of toiletries as well as coffee/tea provided - thank you. Bed linen and towels were clean and smelt lovely.

From the moment we stepped inside we felt right at home. Everything we needed was included and the whole place was clean and tidy. Both hosts were incredibly responsive and Laurence came out to help us in a timely manner when we needed assistance.

Our stay at Sanjay’s cottage was delightful from the moment we arrived. We were thrilled by the place’s cleanliness. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of our stay. Every corner of the cottage felt cozy and comfortable, making it easy to truly unwind. The living area was warm and inviting. With cozy lighting and a fireplace, we enjoyed the homey atmosphere. The bedroom was super comfortable. The weather was great while we stayed so we spent our days walking around in the village. This little hideaway exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay again with no hesitation. It truly felt like a home-away-from-home with a touch of luxury - just perfect.

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

Excellent host very responsive and friendly. Beautifully clean property looked just like the photos. Very friendly animals! Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful stay in Tibshelf!! Everything was fantastic from start to finish. Check in was easy and smooth and the place was easy to find from Jennie’s clear instructions. We felt so relaxed the whole time we were there and we cannot wait to go back again! Thank you Jennie for the perfect stay and your guidebook, we had some lovely meals out from your recommendations. 5 Stars all round!!

A beautiful place, with modern kitchen and bathroom. Well stocked with all the amenities. Host was very helpful and made the stay very enjoyable. Would definitely book again. The perfect escape for a quiet break away.

A great secret cottage! Smack bang in the middle of a lovely village high street, with a nice pub and an impressive looking Indian restaurant, plus cafes and a few other shops.

The cottage is a great place for two. It is on a quiet no through lane with safe parking. The kitchen is well equipped for both longer and short stays with a cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine and a good assortment of cooking pots and utensils. The bedroom is a reasonable size with plenty of storage. The bed is comfortable and the linen is of a good quality. The bathroom is small but has a good shower, toilet, hand basin and heated towel rail. Note: The stairs are exactly what is expected in a 200yr old cottage.... There is a small front garden with a table and chairs. Good to enjoy a meal if the weather permits. The local Cafe is great for breakfast or a light lunch. It is advisable to book, especially on weekends, as it is both popular and small Highly recommended accommodation in a quintessentially English village.

Brilliant place to stay - Veronika and her family are very welcoming and friendly, and the property is very clean and very well equipped, with all you need in the kitchen etc. The bedrooms are lovely and well thought out. Lots of toys, books and kitchenware for little ones. The outside space is amazing, our daughter loved the fairy garden and the play area available to us. A wonderful stay!

Hi there, We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cottage and wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts and feedback. Firstly, I must say that the location is perfect for investigating the stunning beauty of the Peak District ! The picturesque views and serene surroundings made for a truly relaxing getaway. The cottage itself was cosy and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the decor really added to the charm and made it feel like a home away from home. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend your cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Thank you for providing such a lovely space for us to enjoy. I look forward to the possibility of returning in the future. Best regards, Steve & Tracy Clark

A great cottage, lots of space and well furnished and equipped. Good off road parking on a fairly busy road. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely revisit.

The accommodation was faultless, the barns (there are 3 with identical layouts attached together) have been so well designed, the ground floor is all open plan with a large mezzanine area upstairs for bedroom and bathroom, everywhere feels spacious and the barn is well furnished . The purpose of our stay was business and after a hard days work it was a delight to arrive to discover the above and relax. That evening we subsequently booked for the next week as we have a nearby business and using an Airbnb cuts out 3 hours daily commuting.

What a beautiful place, so quaint with lovely walks in the area too. Caroline was a great host, the brownies on arrival were just the icing on the cake

Beautiful apartment. Clean, tidy and spacious and I loved the little touch of the biscuits that were left for me. Would happily visit again

Wow! What a beautiful place! Jo was great and very welcoming, the home was lovely, clean and perfect for what we needed it for! Would absolutely recommend to anyone, we will 100% be back, thank you!

We (family of 4) had a wonderful stay at the property. The house is absolutely amazing, it has absolutely anything one might need and some extra. The location extremely convenient in Oakham. The hosts are extremely nice!

We had a fantastic stay at Marianna and Jon’s place! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Marianna was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout. The check-in process was smooth, and the location was perfect for what we needed. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

This lovely barn conversion and its grounds lived right up to the expectations set in the listing - and more! Jill was super friendly, flexible and communicative. Everything was spotless, well thought out and really enjoyable. The grounds are a standout. The location was central in the country so ideal for our family to converge. All in all it was the perfect spot for our family get together. We couldn’t fault it and our 3 separate family groups that visited all said we could happily live here. Hopefully we will be back again in another of our visits from Australia.

Very cute cottage in traditional countryside setting. Opposite Coton Manor which looked v inviting. V well kept and clean. Off road parking and garden. one comfortable sized double and smaller double room v nicely decorated. Bit of a tight, steep staircase to be aware of (in keeping with the property's history).

This was the perfect place for exploring the beautiful local countryside and get some much needed rest and relaxation. This was helped also by Ruth’s to class customer service - her communication was spot on, and she was so helpful. The cottage is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. Will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. Kathryn was a great host, facilitating a very comfortable stay. Kathryn's communication from booking through to checking out was hugely appreciated. The cottage was idyllically situated with a very restful outlook. It was lovely to be able to sit outside, with a choice of the orchard or overlooking the paddock. The kitchen was probably the best equipped in a holiday home that we have ever experienced. The whole place was spotlessly clean & and the beds were very comfortable. The huge bath towels were luxuriously fluffy ! We could easily return & spend a week visiting even more attractions in the area & exploring the countryside.
