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

Me, my wife and son had a great relaxing weekend at Lizzy’s Cottage. The hot tub was secluded, the place looked just like the pictures and had a peaceful vibe! We all slept so well with the comfy beds too! Harrison was helpful and responsive through messages. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

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.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cottage retreat. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed. The setting is beautifully private—perfect for escaping the noise. We were greeted with a welcome package including snacks, a bottle of fizz, and clear instructions. It instantly made us feel at home. One highlight was the Jacuzzi—incredible! It was spotless and ready to go, with soft towels provided. We appreciated the natural shower products, which made the experience feel more luxurious. Communication with the hosts was easy. We were given a direct line and they responded quickly to any questions. The overall vibe of the place was calm and rejuvenating, a true hidden gem. It’s only about a 15-minute drive to nice local shops and restaurants, so you're not far from anything. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about our return. Highly recommend this cozy escape—we’ll definitely be back someday.

This was our second year staying at the cottage. Like last time it was a wonderful holiday and we were sad to go. That Cottage feels like a second home to all of us. And we will be coming again next year. The property is beautiful and cosy. The surrounding area makes you feel so relaxed within nature. In the mornings we were able to see a barn owl on the garden fence. If you want somewhere to relax and unwind in the country I cannot recommend The Cottage enough.

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

fab weekend away in a lovely cottage with everything you need and more. Friendly hosts who were helpful with arranging our daytrip into Lincoln. Hot tub was great to relax in after a full day visiting Lincoln. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

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!!

We’ve just arrived home after a wonderful stay at Petra’s property. The house was very clean, beds comfy and had loads of stuff for a baby/toddler which was very helpful! Petra sent us lots of places to go and see and we did most! Thank you for having us and we look forward to returning soon! Sophie, wills, Betsy, saffron and holly.

The cottage was a real gem in beautiful surroundings. All you require for an outstanding stay with every mod con you could possibly need provided. Every aspect of the cottage was classy and modern. Our hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us. We had a superb stay and would highly recommend it to anyone interested.

Wir waren begeistert von der Unterkunft. Sie ist absolut empfehlenswert. Sahra hat innerhalb kürzester Zeit auf unsere Fragen geantwortet super Service. . Der kleine Wintergarten und die AGA sind ein Highlight. Die Gegend einfach malerisch. Wir kommen wieder wieder. *****

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

We have been using Airbnb for many years and this is definitely the best experience of being hosted we have had for YEARS. Carter's Yard embodies the spirit of what staying in a b&b in England really means - with the privacy of enjoying the property to yourselves. We felt hosted! Butter and milk in the kitchen. Plenty of cleaning items and dishwasher tablets. A welcome basket of breakfast items. Beautiful linen on the extremely comfortable beds. A lovely lounge with supplies for the log burner. Flannels and plenty of towels in the bathroom... Everything was so intentional and thought through. We would love to stay here again, it is so peaceful, so clean and so very welcoming. 11/10 for the cottage and 12/10 to Rebecca and her immaculate hostess vibes. Worth every - extremely reasonable - penny!!

Excellent stay. Spotlessly clean and well equipped! Shout out for the excellent and matching wine glasses! Thank you Emma, we will definitely be back.

A wonderful stay at Marc’s place in Grafham. It’s a great location with local amenities and lovely places to walk. The lodge is surrounded by trees and really peaceful. We hope to return!

Lovely clean well appointed cottage within an easy drive to super walking, pub, hospital etc.

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

We would have loved to stay longer in this elegant, historic but fully modernized rural retreat. By some quirk of Airbnb booking we got it for one night only but it was like coming home. The garden alone made our short stay enchanting. It could not have been better.

We had a fantastic stay at Hunky Dory Cottage! Stunning cottage, in a lovely location! Stephen and Jane were so responsive and had great communication! Would highly recommend!!

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!

Absolute gem, we couldn’t have asked for a better property it was absolutely perfect for a nice couple of chilled days away, the location was ideal and the hosts were brilliant, i would definitely stay here again if in the Matlock area
