    It is a really lovely cottage and the owners make it extra special. The cottage has been thoughtfully designed and very well equipped. It has beautiful panoramic views across miles of countryside. We were certainly not disappointed!

  • "Teal Cottage is set in a tranquil setting with amazing views from sitting on the patio!"

    On arrival Cottage was immaculate, fresh flowers in vase,a welcome tray for us! It has everything that you would need for a stay..a few negative comments need to be said though... No hooks on back of doors for hanging items as wardrobe is short and more suitable for men and kids! Sofa is uncomfortable, and low so if of a certain age or suffering with arthritis very hard to get off ..a armchair is needed! Walls are extremely thin so no privacy..could hear people next door as if they were in our Cottage! So

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. People’s preferences on sofas can be different but we do appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts. kind regards Joy and Andrew Property Owner

    The only small observation is that the sofas arel low and deep so abit difficult to get out of for the older person.But it's a minor problem in the overall scheme of things and would certainly not deter us from returning.

  • "This cottage was perfect apart from the beds which we found too hard for us, but appreciate that is a very personal preference."

    The sofa was very deep which didn’t suit us because we’re all quite short, but everything else about the accommodation was ideal. It is in a beautiful location and very quiet, overlooking fields. The garden is fully enclosed, so ideal for our dog who enjoyed pottering about out there. Everything you need is provided and was spotlessly clean. There is adequate parking for two cars if you need it and the owner, who lives in an adjacent property is lovely. The welcome pack was much appreciated.

    Thank you for coming, sorry the beds and sofa didn’t suit as you say it is personal preference kind regards Joy and Andrew Property Owner

  • "The location, quality and cleanliness of the property was wonderful and the views to die for."

    It was great to have a field area next door to throw a ball for our dog in the evening with public footpaths so close. The welcome pack was very welcome. However the beds were very uncomfortable which triggered our decision to come home early plus cottage was very hot with locked themostats so could not decrease the temperate. Had to open doors and windows ... A suggest would to have a move information of the local area in the folder such as places to walk dogs and dog friendly eating places. Our recommendation was Anne of Cleves however needs booking as a small place and dog friendly. Melton Country Park is great for walking the dog. Plus for parking in the area recommend downloading the PaybyPhone App and have it set up.

  • "Teal Cottage is a lovely place to stay."

    Initially struggled to find it as it is tucked away behind the owners property down a long drive off a quiet country lane. Very peaceful and surrounded by local fields. However, not very far from Melton Mowbray at all. The cottage is beautifully decorated - one of 2 barn conversions. Semi detached with its own small garden and enough parking. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Main living area is open plan and very comfortable. Useful entrance hall for muddy boots and coats etc., and w.c. Welcome basket very nice. Owners very helpful. Beds also very comfortable. Both bedtooms have an en suite. The en suite bath, shower rooms are not that big but adequate. (So anyone with mobility issues or who needs a chair in the room might struggle as there is limited space). We had a fabulous stay visiting surrounding local country parks with our dog, Melton Mowbray and the Space Centre in Leicester. Yes we would recommend Teal Cottage. It is a little gem. Only thing that could have improved our stay: softer and fluffy towels. The ones we were provided with were a bit scratchy and hard. Generally, one of the nicer properties we have stayed in.

If you are not used to it, you are surrounded by working farm fields and they may be using muck to fertilise the soil. This can cause a pungent odour!

Converted from an old pig barn and now serving as high-quality holiday accommodation, each property features a large open-plan living space with the central piece being the stand-alone brick fireplace housing a modern woodburning stove. Underfloor electric heating keeps you warm as you sink into the plush sofa arrangement and watch a favourite film or show on the TV with Sky, after a long day of exploring the bustling town of Melton Mowbray.
