  • "Absolutely loved this wonderful character house."

    Very spacious and comfortable living rooms and bedrooms and well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and strong showers. Lovely welcome gifts and many extras provided handwash etc. Great garden for our dog and surrounding land and views and the koi Carp were amazing. Loads of great places and country parks to visit close by, Calke Abbey, Staunton Harold, Moira Furnace museum and canal, national space centre and numerous museums in Leicester. Loved our holiday here and will be returning. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Margaret, Steven, Theresa and Eric.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Rowlands House."

    The house was clean, well equipped, and spacious. The garden was beautiful to sit in and it was lovely having a pond out the front to sit by and to be able to feed the fish. The location of the property was peaceful and we discovered lots of places to visit within reasonable driving distance including Twycross Zoo, Calke Abbey, the 1620s House and the castle at Ashby.

  • "Plenty of space to relax, comfortable beds, loads of hot water, efficient heating (really wish we hadn't needed it in June) and the most amazing garden!"

    We loved feeding the fish in the pond and even spotted a heron! The location was perfect - plenty of footpaths from the property, two pubs in walking distance, the nearby windmill (open Sunday afternoons) was well worth the short walk, and only 10 minutes drive to the supermarket for everything we needed.

  • "House is absolutely fabulous."

    It was spotless and so warm and welcoming we really felt at home almost immediately. The 5 bedrooms were all well presented, lots of room and plenty of storage. Each had it's own character. The 2 sitting rooms, conservatory and large kitchen/diner meant there was lots of space to relax and unwind downstairs. The huge garden was well kept and the fish pond was brilliant. We had a couple of sunny days and a couple of cooler rainy ones. The house was perfect for all weathers. A real break from the hustle and bustle of life. We had a chance to properly switch off and reconnect. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    It was beautiful. The house and gardens were stunning just shame about the weather which no one has control of. During our stay there was a problem with the heating but the owner responded to our calls straight away. Nothing was any problem to them. Than you Rowlands House we had a wonderful time!

    The house and its grounds are well kept with plenty of areas outside for relaxing. Great local pubs and restaurants nearby with plenty of walking routes. Amenities in the house are plenty - towels, bedding, sofa throws and extra throws for cold nights. Also very clean. We spent the weekend as a group of friends - did some running, spent time on the grounds and our evenings around the large kitchen table playing board games. I personally left a fleece at the property and Anna kindly posted this back free of charge! Great service and stay.

    The grounds are immaculate and everything you need is where you expect it to be. The beds were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for group catering even little pot warmers for big meals like full English. Check in and out was easy and I can’t wait to come back. Our kids and my dad simply adored the Koi Carp in the pond and feeding them became a highlight of our days. We loved the pagoda and the garden and spent an afternoon lying by the pond and played cricket.

    It’s an older building but has all the amenities, was warm, and the sitting rooms and bedrooms comfortable.The outside space is as impressive as the interior. We were on a “cycling” holiday and there are lots of quiet lanes villages and pubs in the area, particularly down towards Market Bosworth or up towards Breedon on the hill. Only slight downside was that the Wi-Fi was a bit weak when using TV or streaming sport. Anna met us on arrival and was friendly and helpful.

    Set in a quiet village, it is a great base to not venture out for the week, or take a short drive to plenty of interesting local places. This is a lovely property, offering 5 bedrooms, plenty of parking, and total privacy. The owner was nearby, if required, however, not required by us as our holiday was perfect, so was the weather. All in all, a fantastic property which I think could charge much more, and still provide value for money. We were Lord and Ladies of the Manor! We would definitely go back, and definitely recommend this lovely home!
