Bob and Teresa have a lovely barn conversion offering a get away from it all break. We enjoyed a full week here and there is plenty to do. Easy to get around going up/down the A1 for short distances. We did 3 treasure trails in the area (two were around Rutland Water and the other was in Stamford), visited Antique centres and worth a visit was Uppingham, The Anglian Water Bird Watching Centre and Stamford Theatre where we enjoyed an Abba Forever experience. The word is out that you could catch Bob in his role as the Dame in the Pantomime this year! At the end of the day, you are greeted by their 4 friendly dogs and can go further afield on their land to visit the chickens, goats, pigs, sheep and Alpacas. Bob will kindly offer you his own bacon and sausages and my husband enjoyed them so much, he bought some to bring home. Teresa makes her own home fragrances too on site, which are within the property for use. We would highly recommend Porter's Barn.
