Exton 1.9 miles. Set in an idyllic position in a quiet park near Exton, Rutland is this stylish, detached retreat of Harley's House. Offering a family of six contemporary, ground-floor accommodation, whilst also being a stone's throw away from the Rutland Water Nature Reserve, Harley's House is a marvellous stay. Upon arrival, park your vehicle in one of the off-road parking spaces, or in the additional parking at the nearby hotel before wandering inside this fabulous abode. Hang your things before making your way inside the open-plan living space, a room that is brimming with natural light, thanks to its white-washed walls and floor-length windows. Kick back and relax in the sitting area, where the sofas are perfectly positioned in front of the TV and toast woodburning stove; why not put on a family-favourite DVD for all to enjoy? Move through the tastefully decorated space to the sleek kitchen, where the budding chef of the group will be delighted to discover a fantastic range of appliances, which are integrated or built in, to give the space a clean and sophisticated feel. When tasty meals have been made, they can be savoured at the dining table which seats up to eight; why not invite a couple of friends to join you and fill up the two extra seats? When night falls, you will find three marvellous bedrooms situated off the open-plan space, with one consisting of a double that not only enjoys direct access to the garden but offers an en-suite shower room; the other two bedrooms consist of twins, with one enjoying Jack-and-Jill access to the family bathroom, and the other featuring a wall-mounted TV. During the sunnier months, be sure to catch some ray's out in the lovely, rear garden, whilst you tuck into an alfresco meal. A remarkable break awaits at Harley's House.
