  The cottage was very cold at times even with heating on There were only a few logs for fire and no information on where more was stored…empty firefighter packet.

  .so didn’t bother lighting fire…bought extra warm blankets from Corby supermarket..also lighter is not in kitchen..it is in basket with logs Fair amount of empty or almost empty containers under sink plus basket with various items was quite dirty..only hand brush..no dustpan to sweep debris into Large dirty stain on carpet..I rang Sykes immediately to report this I did not know it was shared access so my dog often barking as neighbours often passing by and she is a very protective dog. I would not have booked had I known..I prefer privacy. Would prefer dishwasher tablets as opposed to biscuits..I used dishwasher often so had to travel to supermarket to top up. Also I left Christmas earrings on side table in twin room and they disappeared…I could not find them even though I stripped and lifted beds…This made me feel very uneasy and I felt someone had been into the cottage while I was out.. Needless to say I left on the morning of 31st December…

  We loved the location and, for a couple, the property should have given us everything we wanted but it needs some tlc.

  .. The bedroom and shower room window frames were mouldy and we had to clean them to feel comfortable about it. We think this is down to the fact that the shower room and bedroom windows can't be opened so the window frames get damp from the steam from the shower not being able to escape. Also the shower room window extractor fan didn't work so was no help with this. I'm sure the owners are trying to provide the best but a goose feather duvet is a mistake. Some of us are allergic to feathers! Niggles over. The location is very quiet despite being only a minutes walk from the local pub. It is also incredibly convenient for local attractions, being less than half an hour from both Market Harborough and Uppingham which lead on to so many other places like Rutland Water, Stamford, Melton Mowbray, etc., etc. We would stay there again but would take our own duvet and seek reassurance about the upstairs windows.

  The property is very nice and comfortable, it's bigger than it shows in the pictures.

  The bed is really good, so much that we had a look at the manufactures! The wardrobe has plenty of space. Very nice place and the area is beautiful!!! We had a lovely time. Ian, the owner is very helpful and offered the use of his garden to us. Two negative things: 1) It was not very clean. There were cobwebs in many places, behind the bed there were a lot. The bathroom also no good, it looked that the previous guests cleaned it just superficially, quite dirty behind the toilet seat. My wife had to clean it before we used it. 2) There are not sufficient utensils. We generally don't cook in these cottages, but we like a proper breakfast and there was not a spatula to turn eggs, or a smaller frying pan. The cereal bowls are really small, we had to buy two as we like to have porridge. Otherwise the cottage is excellent!!! That's why we are not giving 5 stars.

  A very well situated cottage , shops , pub , restaurants literally just round the corner.

  Cottage is well stocked with pretty much everything you’ll need in the kitchen and everywhere else in the cottage. Beds are of good quality and my wife and I both loved the pillows. Communication from the owners is exceptional and all information required for the cottage is found within. We were provided with a parking permit for Rutland council car parks and one is situated literally round the corner and we briefly parked outside the cottage to empty the car of suitcases etc and then parked up in the car park which was very safe and convenient. There’s a nice market on Saturday and Wednesday , we used Tesco’s for our food and we would recommend nearby Stamford as a nice place to visit. To conclude we would highly recommend this holiday cottage and a big thank you to Val who was so helpful and kind x

  Just had the best few days in The Nook a little slice of life.

  Where do l start lovely cosy kitchen diner which was fully equipped for one’s needs. Netflix’s and full sports channels were much appreciated by my husband. The bedroom was lovely and airy. Location was perfect for a a very undiscovered part of England. Neville inn on our doorstep was just a bonus. We enjoyed golf at Rutland water and a walk around Hambleton peninsulas with lunch at the Finches arms. Having discovered unfortunately on our last day Rutland water is one of the premier fly fishing and bird watching reservoirs in England. I managed to see Burley House in Stamford and my husband surprised me with afternoon tea in the George what a great end to a wonderful week. Ian was a super host and the use of his beautiful garden was greatly appreciated.
