  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.

  Our third stay and still as clean, welcoming and tranquil as the first time.

  Access to numerous way marked walks from the doorstep. Beautiful views. Owner on hand but not at all intrusive. Quality of the property, the furnishings, fittings, beds, showers , heating, lighting, cooking facilities, washing machine, dishwasher, bins, fully enclosed garden with furniture all unusually high and very welcome. If you like peace and quiet and lovely walks this is an opportunity to leave the car abandoned for entire stay, walk to Kirby Bellars, Burton Lazars, Burrough Hill etc. Try ‘10 circular walks in and around Melton Mowbray’ a little green book available online costs less than a fiver, having said that on an earlier visit we did visit The Space Centre, Melton town, Melton country park, Foxton Locks, farm shop & cafe, theres plenty to visit if you are not walkers too.

  What a superb property The Pinfold is.

  So very clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated for Christmas. It made our winter break extra special. Wymondham is a lovely characterful village - lovely pub just a few years from us. We visited Oakham, Uppingham, Rutland Water and saw a wonderful display of 200 Christmas trees in St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray. Rutland Garden Village has a very good eatery, The Cakery, and luckily for us Hambleton Bakery has opened a smashing coffee shop Just eaten some of the delicious goodies we bought there. Also bought all our Christmas meat in Glenn Lewin Butchers, Sileby. The Pinfold has so many lovely places to visit nearby. You won't be disappointed - it was a 'quality' holiday. As we are retired we visit many Sykes properties during the year and this really is one of the best

  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.

  We’ve just had a fabulous week staying at Teal cottage; we arrived to some lovely goodies for both us & the dog, courtesy of the owners, who we met on a couple of occasions during our stay.

  The cottage was clean & comfortable with an enclosed garden, which was perfect for the dog. There were fabulous views outside & walks directly from the doorstep. We have been to the area before so visited Normanton Church, at Rutland Water & Melton Country Park, where there are some lovely walks, as well as Oakland castle & church & we also visited Wymondham, a small lical village, where the Berkeley Arms serves fantastic food & also takes dogs. We would definitely like to return to Teal Cottage again sometime, maybe when it’s a little warmer, but we enjoyed using the Wood burner during our stay. We would highly recommend this property & the area for some much needed relaxation.
