This is a superb place to stay and easy to get to Melton Mowbray, Oakham and Rutland Water. The rooms were very clean and tidy, with a large comfy bed. I had my coffee outside in the little private courtyard, which was very relaxing. The owners left some yummy cakes and fresh fruit for us which we very much appreciated. Lots of hot drink choices and the little kitchen was a real treat too. We will be booking again.

Great place - really friendly

Fran, the owner, was great; very friendly & helpful. The accommodation was clean & well-appointed. All in all, I'd recommend the place for a weekend stay.

I received a warm welcome and the room was clean and spacious. There was fresh milk and fresh fruit available in the mini-fridge, which was thoughtful; also, delicious home made chocolate cake! This suited me perfectly for a one-night stopover on my travels.

Very comfortable accommodation. Fran is an excellent host providing very tasty cake and a fruit bowl as extras. Gave good advice about things to do and see.

We stayed for a wedding- even though the check in fell at a difficult time for the wedding (at the Old Cow Shed) Fran went out of her way to help us get the key, and then gave us a lift to the venue. Room was warm and comfortable with tea, coffee and fresh fruit. Fran also facilitated a late checkout. Couldn’t ask for anything more, and significantly better than the alternative of the travelodge!

A lovely little cottage for an overnight stay with everything we needed. Our host was fantastic.

Easy accommodation in a great location with a welcoming host many thanks.

Hard to imagine a lovelier B&B in a stunning country setting and environment steeped in British history. At a reasonable cost.

Lovely converted stable, friendly host, great

We really enjoyed our stay at the stables. Lovely cosy accommodation with a beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Our host couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful

Alles perfekt für uns

Lovely property excellent hosts with a vast of information. Joining rooms though so be mindful if only booking one. Log burner was lovely and made our evening

Lively accommodation, and great host. Perfect location for us as we were attending a wedding at the Old Cow Shed nearby

Wonderful accommodation Wonderful location Wonderful owner

What a fabulous place to stay really looked after the facilities for the money could not be faulted we will use again

Amazing little find. Would recommend to anyone

We stayed 2 nights surrounding a friend’s wedding at The Cow Shed. We had a couple of questions before our stay and Fran was very prompt in responding to these messages. It was easy enough to find with parking right outside. The place was lovely. I personally don’t think the photos do it justice. It was a good sized space and we didn’t expect to have a kitchen and we had our own little outside space with chairs. Fran had filled our fridge with juice, drink and milk as well as fruit and cake. There was cereal available in the cupboard which would have been useful to know before, because we had brought breakfast with us. But it was really good to have the option there. Fran was on hand throughout our stay if we needed her and she had useful information and recommendations about the best places to get breakfast and local taxis. We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Stables and would definitely recommend!

We took both properties for 2 couples which worked very well with the kitchen in the middle. We appreciated the extra touches; cake and strawberries and various breakfast items we had not expected. Lovely garden to sit out in for a cuppa. The host was charming and helpful. We would recommend the Old Stables.
