The property is lauded for its beautiful rural views and quiet surroundings, yet it remains conveniently close to Oakham and other local amenities. Some guests noted difficulty in finding the property, slightly affecting the score.
Guests frequently compliment the comfortable bed and furniture, as well as the cosy and warm atmosphere of the cottage, suggesting a high level of comfort.
The property is well-equipped with a powerful shower and large bed, though some guests mentioned a short supply of cutlery and issues with patio accessibility. Overall, facilities are very good but with minor room for improvement.
Several reviews mention a welcome pack and the hosts' helpfulness, reflecting their thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should be aware that these are a bonus rather than an expectation.

We have enjoyed a wonderful week at The Stables. A beautiful setting for a couples getaway. The accommodation is first class and even during the extreme weather and snow we have been toasty warm and have started the New Year relaxed. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed proper snow for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed Rutland Water which is just on the doorstep.

Really difficult to find as postcode doesn’t take you there. Phoned Rachael she was very helpful, but needs bigger signage as so easy to miss on a very busy road.
