Grooms Cottage

An incredibly relaxing setting with peaceful views and a quiet area.

The facilities were lovely, hosts friendly and very helpful and we loved the cake and milk provided on our arrival. We were in the area to see family members and found some lovely places nearby to visit. Will definitely come again.

Have had a Fabulous stay this week.

So peaceful in an Amazing setting, so loved the views of the horses in the fields and our dogs enjoyed their walks around the field. The cottage is extremely well set up with everything you can think of and very clean & comfortable. Nice to be able to visit local places or just stay and chill at the cottage Big thank you to Alastair & Debi for their wonderful hospitality and to Debi for the horse riding sessions.

We so enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage.

A real home from home. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you Alistair.

lovely clean and comfortable cottage owners very friendly were there if needed but not intrusive beds very comfy well equipped kitchen AND THE CAKE Mmmmmm highly recommend grooms cottage

Four of us had a three night stay between Christmas and New Year at Grooms Cottage.

The cottage was exceptional with everything that was needed to make our stay pleasurable. All of us would definitely stay here again!

Grooms Cottage surpassed our expectations and exceeded the description on the website.

The homemade cakes provided on our arrival were delicious and much appreciated. The cottage was warm and cosy despite sub-zero temperatures outside and we loved the log burner. Grooms Cottage is well situated for exploring the surrounding area.

Wonderful house : very spacious for a two bedroom cottage.

It was well equipped throughout - and we loved lighting the log burner . We would very happily return.

A lovely holiday let in a glorious setting.

The owners couldn't have been nicer and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely consider staying again if we travel back to the area.

Fabulous cottage, well furnished, comfortable and lots os space.

Alistair and Debi are great hosts, left us some milk and cakes on arrival. Will definitely stay again. Great location, we visited the Space Centre, had a fab curry in Leicester, Rockingham Castle and Belvoir Castle. Beautiful countryside all around and great views from the house.

This cottage was perfect in every way.

We could not fault a thing! Alistair and Debbi are the loveliest hosts you could imagine, the setting is stunning, the cottage has everything you could possibly need and is spotless, comfortable and spacious, with a fab entry area for boots/shoes, doggy stuff etc (although you would never know any dogs had been there before). We were so sad to leave. Thank you again to our lovely hosts.

Grooms Cottage stands out as being exactly how a holiday cottage should be, which is a very rare thing to find these days.

The addition of the absolutely scrumptious cake gives this cottage 20 out of 10!!!

We had a lovely stay at Grooms Cottage, Alistair & Debbie are lovely hosts & the cottage is gorgeous.

The surrounding countryside is stunning & my little boy loved being able to try horse riding whilst we were there. We didn’t want to leave !

A very calm and tranquil environment in the area of and around the cottage made very welcoming from the owners who lived there and also very spacious inside and outside - the horses are a particular highlight of the stay here giving a great view and quiet stay but also still lots to see especially towards the Harborough district

Comfortable cottage and a very pleasant host

We had a lovely comfortable stay at grooms cottage.

Everything we needed amazing log wood burner

A lovely cottage.

Great size. Fantastic kitchen and lounge. Wood burner. Very comfortable beds. Nice sofas. Well equipped kitchen. Nice big sociable space. We prepared a full Christmas dinner for our friends. Great shower. Loved the underfloor heating. Helpful owners. The cottage was absolutely spotless. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this cottage. One of the best we've ever stayed in.

Fab cottage with all the necessary facilities.

Great host and thank you to Maple & Olive for making Wispa feel welcome. Will definitely come back.

High spec property - very comfortable, clean and spacious.

Bed super comfy. Good supply of crockery, cooking utensils, etc. Very peaceful, yet within 1/2 hour of towns and cities. Lovely views over the fields and plenty horses to see too. Alastair and Debi are very friendly and helpful and we did appreciate the cakes left for us. :o)

This property was in a tranquil location but in easy reach of local attractions.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and all as described. We could not find fault with the cottage or its hosts and would hope to return some time in the future.

We very much enjoyed our week's holiday at Grooms Cottage.

We found it to be well appointed, spacious and well situated to visit Rutland and the East Midlands. We would certainly consider staying again if we were visiting this region.

Alastair welcomed us on arrival.

Debi was around if we needed anything. Lovely cakes and the makings of tea and coffee on arrival. Kitchen/ dining area spacious and beautiful- view out over horses in field. Sitting room cosy if cold, but cooled by opening door on to patio if warm. The luxury of underfloor heating as well as radiators if needed. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you.

A great cottage in a lovely location. As our party consisted of four adults, the great sized kitchen and lounge worked very well. Ian

We absolutely loved our stay at Grooms Cottage, it was beautiful and clean as well as very cosy.

The cake was delicious and a very welcome treat. We loved Mabel and Olive they were such well behaved dogs and said hello to us everyday, but were no bother at all. Thank you both so very much. We hope to comeback at some point to explore the area more.

Excellent property, everything we needed was there and Alistair and Debbie were on hand if we needed anything .

Would highly recommend . Shirley & Baz

Arguably the nicest cottage we have stayed at.

The property was very spacious which is something we value and the standard of decoration, furniture and equipment was very high. Add to that a beautiful setting, friendly and helpful owners and plenty to see in the surrounding area and there is little you could fault. The adjoining holiday property can hold up to 6 people so the only minor concern would be if you were unlucky and got a bunch of noisy neighbours for you stay.

Wonderful property, wonderful hosts.

Will come back next year, all being well. Loved the horses. Missed having a lesson. X

A spacious, very clean and well equipped property.

Despite being attached to another holiday let privacy/noise was not a problem. Lovely countryside views. The owners were on hand and friendly but not obtrusive. Would definitely like to stay again.

A comfortable, clean cottage with all the facilities we needed for our week`s stay.

We can recommend Groom`s Cottage wholeheartedly.

The cottage was very well appointed.

Best beds ever. Owners very helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our week at Grooms Cottage

Superb cottage in a super location, the views across the paddocks was wonderfull, the rooms were all spacious & the kitchen is modern with more than enough room for the Chef & guests to be together for the meal.

We will be back!

I had a wonderful stay.

Due to circumstance I found myself holidaying alone but I felt safe and comfortable at Grooms Cottage. Had some good chats with Alistair, the owner. Mable and Olive, the owners friendly dogs, came to say hello too. Basics provided on arrival along with fabulous homemade cakes so you can have a cuppa after your journey. The hosts were friendly and available but didn’t intrude. Plenty to explore in the area and a great Sunday Roast was had in Hallaton. Huge portions! The cottage is clean and cosy. If you get the weather, the patio is a real sun trap all day so take sun cream if you want to sit out. Yes, there’s a country road and yes you can hear cars when they pass but they are so infrequent it’s of no consequence and I echo others in saying this was a very comfy and peaceful holiday. Finally, I was awed by two Red Kites that liked to circle around the fields and above the cottage garden. A great sight.

The property exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful holiday

Lovely cottage.

Well laid out. Comfy evenings spent in the lounge. Made good use of the log fire. Had to rummage to find the extra blankets for bed but all good. A bit isolated but that’s part of its charm. Take wellies or good walking shoes. Beautiful views. Yummy cakes and milk in fridge a nice welcome. Thank you

Fantastic property in a beautiful location.

So much to do close by and the added bonus of being able to have a riding lesson on the doorstep. A gem of a place!

Splendid 5 star accommodation.

I can only repeat what others have said. Spacious, warm, quiet, convenient etc. The couple of minor issues were dealt with immediately.

One of the nicest most comfortable properties we have stayed in, and there have been many!

Good hosts and beautiful surroundings, always something to see from the window!

Super spacious cottage in an excellent location with easy on site walking for the dogs.

The owners were extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and even provided cakes! We would highly recommend Groom's Cottage and intend to book again for next year.

Absolutely stunning cottage and surroundings.

Lovely hosts. Kitchen was fantastic and had everything you needed for self catering. So clean. A fantastic place to take your dogs, they loved it. Want to go back as soon as we can.

Beautiful cottage in serene surroundings!

Just as gorgeous as the pictures on your site. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage and would definitely recommend it. Loved the horses!!

Lovely cottage, clean, peaceful, well furnished and equipped.

Very convenient for visiting all sorts of interesting places, whether you enjoy visiting towns and villages such as Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford, or stately homes such as Deene Park or Cottesbrooke Hall. The cottage has a sunny south-facing aspect and you can watch the horses being exercised and see birds such as barn owls and woodpeckers. Highly recommended!

This cottage is wonderful with everything you need for a great holiday.

The views across the pastures with the horses grazing and other wildlife are brilliant. The owner is very helpful in every way and we can`t wait to go back again in the future. This is the best cottage we have stayed in.

This property is one of the bast I have stayed in.

Spotlessly clean, very comfy beds, a super location with fabulous views of the rolling hills. Perfect in every way.

We enjoyed staying at Grooms Cottage.

It is one of the best properties we have stayed at. The added bonus for us was that they accept 2 dogs. We will definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage very much indeed.

The cottage was most comfortably furnished and as well equipped as one’s own home would be with a beautifully modern hob and oven. It was warm, comfortable and spacious and the many added extras were most appreciated (including the delicious “welcome” cake!) The setting (a handy mile and a half from the main A47) in the quiet, rolling east Leicestershire countryside was perfect for a relaxing holiday with lovely vistas and a secure area for the dogs. The owner was very friendly, extremely helpful and left us in private unless we needed him. The resident dogs were gentle and friendly and perfectly behaved. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage especially to those seeking a high quality and quiet dog friendly cottage within easy reach of numerous good eating hostelries and we hope very much to return when we are next down visiting family in Leicestershire.

Really enjoyed on many levels.

Nice warm welcome. Property was warm comfortable and we were able to relax. Wonderful spot and we enjoyed great walks (plenty of mud ). Keen to re-visit which is always the best recommendation

We had a fabulous stay at Grooms Cottage and would highly recommend it.

The kitchen is well-equipped and the living room is large and comfortable with a lovely wood burning stove. The cottage has wonderful views over the countryside and you can spend hours watching the well-cared for ponies. The bed was large and comfortable. Alistair and Debi were very friendly and always on hand to answer questions.

A lovely cottage with plenty of space set in picturesque countryside.

Ideal for a family holiday and not too far out of village. A lovely large homemade cake awaited our arrival and fresh milk ready for the tea! The cottage was lovely and warm and had a cosy feel. The owners live next door and run the stables at the back. Lovely to see the horses on the field every morning. Had problems with hot water having to shower in cold water one day wasn’t great. Owner was helpful and quick to respond though. You need to take an extra set of towels as only provided with one each so tricky to wash and dry on same day!

Cottage provided peace and tranquillity.

Situated in a quiet area of the countryside. Found cottage spacious, well equipped and well maintained. Very comfortable for 4 adults. Welcome pack was delicious. There was an added benefit of walking dog round paddock rather than having to drive out for a morning walk. Hosts were friendly and available if needed without intruding.

Fabulous cottage in lovely countryside.

Our dogs were welcomed and although it rained a lot and they were very muddy and wet, no one was concerned. This made our visit much more relaxed. Alistair & Debi were great hosts, there if needed but didn’t bother us otherwise (the home made welcome cake was delicious). Beautifully finished to a high standard with everything needed. Probably the best we’ve stayed in, so much so we are looking to return next year. Thank you

Very welcoming host lovely cottage very nice enjoyed our stay

Our experience there it had been really good.

The ownwers are very kind and the house has all facilities that we need. The country side around the property is impresive .

Hosts Alistair and Debi are great!

Made us feel very welcome but also left us to do our own thing. Beautiful views over the fields, opportunity to have a riding lesson was much appreciated. Cottage has everything you need and a nice little enclosed back garden which is ideal as we have a dog. Was the perfect location to relax and visit family.

An excellent holiday rental being very clean , spacious and comfortable.

It suited all our needs especially when travelling with our dog. Really helpful owners and a wonderful location.

The cottage is well equipped, it was home from home.

The view from the bedroom window is blissful. It was lovely waking up to the beautiful green landscapes and watching the horses. It’s just an amazing cottage and the surroundings villages we visited. We recommend this cottage for anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s so quiet and a relaxing place highly recommended. We were so sad to leave. Thank you Alistair for allowing us to pick some of the pears from the pear tree they were delicious. Lastly got to mention Olive she is an adorable very friendly black Labrador puppy and her mum Mabel. If you love dogs you will call in love with them.

Ideal location, peaceful,quiet and private but close to so many attractions.

Clean, modern and well stocked property. Without hesitation can recommend this property and would gladly return ourselves. If you like horses then you have struck recreational Gold. There are no downsides to Grooms Cottage. Experience a holiday here and you will be won over.

We enjoyed four days staying at Grooms cottage and were very warmly greeted on arrival by Alistair.

There was a lovely cake in the kitchen for our arrival and this was greatly enjoyed throughout the four days! The surrounding area is very pretty and peaceful. We visited many of the local towns and villages including Uppingham, Stamford and Oakham; all highly recommended for a visit. We also enjoyed a very nice boat trip on Rutland water. The cottage itself was very clean and provided all that was necessary throughout our stay. Thanks to our hosts we will definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Lovely cottage in a great location for our needs .

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Nice and clean and well equipped providing a comfortable stress free stay . Highly recommended .

Beautiful accommodation in a superb setting owner was very helpful and very welcoming nothing was too much trouble.

Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful and comfortable cottage.

Spacious and ultra clean. Top quality furnishings and appliances made it feel like a home from home. Quiet location and welcoming hosts. Would highly recommend.

The peace and quiet is important to us and luckily the adjoining rental cottage was empty.

The accommodation and surroundings are lovely as are the owners, very comfortable and well equipped to stay in and the views and setting is very nice. We would like to return. Many thanks. Linda and John

An excellent cottage very clean and cosy and well equipped with bags of room.

The owners very welcoming. We enjoyed the experience and explored the surrounding area and Barnsdale gardens. The pub in Hallaton excellent fare and value for money. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

Beautiful, warm, spacious cottage.

So well equipped and with stunning views. Homemade cake on arrival and a warm welcome from the owner. Extremely well placed for exploring. We had a wonderful time

Very welcoming & helpful hosts on site

We had a wonderful week, the cottage was perfect for a quiet getaway.

I was a little worried as they accept pets, but it was incredibly clean. Everything was high quality and far exceeded our expectations. The area is lovely and having the horses across from the cottage was amazing. The old piano and bookshelves kept us busy, and the kids enjoyed telling Alexa to play music at breakfast. We were very sad to leave, we all would have quite happily moved in.

Lovely cottage, in countryside setting, very well equipped has everything you need and more.

The owners are very accommodating, had a lovely week hope to return.

We had a great 2 weeks in this lovely cottage, enjoying the views and the availability of good walks, local towns and a perfect place to retreat to.

Very friendly owners added to our great holiday and we would definitely recommend this cottage.

Our hosts were very helpful and there was a very happy atmosphere around the whole area.

The welcome cake was something again and very useful to have some milk provided. Grooms cottage was spacious and very comfortable, we would certainly return.

Had a great time at Grooms cottage.

We loved waking up to seeing the horses everyday. So quiet and peaceful.

The Cottage was in a beautiful location and Alistair and Debi were most welcoming to us all.

The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean and smelled amazing. Lots of little touches to make the stay more comfortable. Will be returning as soon as we can.

We had a great time at Groom’s Cottage - friendly hosts, cottage very spacious with ample outdoor space for dog walking.

Fantastic countryside scenery, quiet and very relaxing location. Lovely cake on arrival and chews for our dog! Secure garden area. We would willingly book again.

This cottage is exceptionally well appointed, and also is very spacious and comfortable upstairs and downstairs.

Marvellous kitchen, so self catering was made easy, and good pubs locally too. It is set in beautiful countryside, and includes stables with riding lessons for the horse-lovers. For myself, I had the use of a Broadwood Piano! Wow. A really enjoyable fortnight with smashing host and hostess. Dogs are made welcome too!! Want to get back asap! Daphne B

Lovely cottage in a scenic location.

Alistair and Debi were wonderful hosts and the possibility of horse riding was a huge plus for my wife.

Fabulous location, very conveniently placed for a variety of visits and walks from the cottage.

It was an amazing stay, however, it was a little difficult to find in the country road, so I would suggest maybe putting up a sign before the turning for the property.

We arrived late in the evening and it was very difficult to find due to bad lighting and no signs. Would definitely stay here again though, we really loved it! it was a home from home and great value for money!

We have just returned from a weeks holiday at Grooms Cottage and we were more than happy with our stay.

The cottage is spacious, cosy, well equipped and the log burner in the lounge is superb. Dogs were made to feel welcome. Alistair and Debbie are friendly, helpful hosts and the home made cake on arrival was most appreciated. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing place to stay, surrounded by countryside then we would recommend Grooms Cottage.

Perfect hosts perfect accommodation .

we would recommend this holiday

We had a very relaxing holiday at Grooms Cottage.

Everything was there that we needed and so nice to arrive and have milk and cake, even biscuits for dog. Very nice place to stay especially liked the views .

A wonderful cottage, with absolutely everything you could need!

Starting with the home-made welcome cake to the dog treats! A beautiful cottage, furnished to the highest standard. Very comfortable living and a good outdoor space. Alastair and Debi were great hosts, on hand to help with any information we needed, or training on the coffee machine. A wonderful base to explore the many villages in the surrounding area. A very enjoyable week. Thank you.

The cottage was beautiful, very well equipped and in a lovely location.

The owners were friendly and helpful and the milk, teabags coffee and freshly made cake that was waiting for us was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful break.

Grooms cottage is a very well appointed and spacious property.

We lacked for nothing. Boot room ideal for dogs. Safe, secluded courtyard garden, again perfect for dogs. The owners Alistair and Debbie were friendly, welcoming and informative. Our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her riding lessons which may cost us dearly as she has certainly caught the riding bug and had already googled riding stables nearby!
