What our customers say about their holidays

  Almost as soon as we arrived we were contemplating a second week which we duly booked.

  It’s a really spacious apartment with loads of light, multiple seating areas indoor and out, views all around the countryside and beautifully quiet. It’s only a 20 minute walk to the village of Kibworth Beaumont with supermarket, local butcher and a variety of restaurants, pubs and takeaways. The place is surrounded by lovely historic villages, towns, canals, walks, places of interest and things to do. The décor and furnishings are comfortable with a great bed, good towels and enough cooking equipment to make a Sunday roast with all the trimmings should you want to. The owner is nearby, super helpful and left a fabulous welcome pack for us. There are also leaflets with local info and maps. The apartment is above a garage so there’s no adjoining neighbours and loads of privacy. Although there were issues with the host wi-fi (which we knew about pre-arrival), the cottage is not in a black spot and we had good Wi-Fi and phone service using our own provider. Highly recommended

  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.

  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.

  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.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stables Cottage.

  It is attractively decorated, comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The underfloor heating keeps it nice and warm downstairs and it was particularly useful to have a utility room kitted out with towels for muddy paws. Dogs are not allowed upstairs but it is easy to ensure as there is a door to the stairs, which we kept closed at all times. Alistair is friendly and helpful and was always on hand to answer any questions we had. It was a lovely touch to have fresh flowers, a (very tasty) cake and a jug of milk provided to welcome us.
