- "My husband, cockapoo and I stayed at the beautiful Pea Cottage in August for 16 nights. We relocated from Canada back to the UK and chose this cottage based on the reviews and photos. We are so glad we did, despite all the upheaval and stress, this cottage was perfect. It was spotless, welcoming and had everything we needed, including outdoor space to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. The reviews are honest and truthful, and if you decide to stay you will too understand. Andrew the owner couldn’t be more helpful, he was there but you rarely saw him, giving the cottage privacy. I went and had a look at one of the Cider Hut inside, and wow, they too are absolutely beautiful and luxurious. The perfect setting in an orchard, with beautifully looked after lawns and plants, we would definitely recommend this cottage and the area for a break, a yoga retreat or just to unwind!! Thank you for making our stressful time less so, we will be back."

This exquisitely designed luxury cottage in Tinwell near Stamford is a dreamy abode for lovebirds looking for a romantic break in 'The best place to live in the Midlands' (as voted by the Sunday Times 2021). Rectory Cottage started life humbly as a stable to the adjacent rectory; guests will be intrigued by the row of nails set into a beam with tiny pieces of paper pinned above, some of which still denote the faded name of the horse whose tack would have hung beneath. Many original features have been sympathetically retained at this 18th century cottage, while the New England flavour with a twist of French romance creates a luxury self-catering space for romantics to relax and be inspired.

The well-equipped, open-plan New England-style kitchen and living room with limed oak floor and underfloor heating provides the perfect place to rustle up a romantic meal for two. Throw open the french doors from the dining room and enjoy a sophisticated supper by candlelight, or dine al fresco in the courtyard garden with the atmospheric lighting setting the scene. Climb the beautifully-lit staircase to the vintage king-size bedroom where fine linens, alpaca duvet, and cloudburst and wool pillows will make lazy mornings in bed all the more tempting. The hand-carved oak headboard completes this romantic space, whilst the en-suite bathroom with deep tub and separate shower is the perfect place to pamper.

Proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as England's 'finest stone town', Stamford was declared a conservation area in 1967. Today Stamford is still as beautiful as it was then, boasting five medieval churches, 600 listed buildings of honey-hued limestone and hidden alleyways teeming with chic boutiques, eateries and alehouses. Ancient Stamford is a film-makers dream, offering a classic snapshot of olde worlde England. Romantics will recognise the town from Pride and Prejudice scenes whilst others will notice it also appears in The Da Vinci Code. The famous water meadows are an idyllic place for a romantic stroll to feed the ducks and enjoy the late afternoon sun sparkling on the river. Rutland's countryside is blissfully unspoilt; hire a rowing boat, find a perfect spot for a picnic, or just recline in the gardens and enjoy the birdsong.

Other things to note
We have apparently just lost our Superhost status for the first time since hosting on Airbnb. We are very fortunate to have always been rated highly by our guests, doing all we can to make your stay as pleasurable as possible, and that hasn’t and will not change. My wife Pam had an Operation in December last year, which has an 18 month recovery period, therefore as her prime carer, I put the Annex on snooze from that period as I felt we couldn’t cope with both things going on at the same time. We are now in a position to host again, but due to having less bookings, we do not fulfill all the criteria to be a Superhost, or should I say we do fit all the criteria, other than the required number of bookings. So we will continue for the time being in being a Superhost in everything but name, and we will endeavour to look after all our guests as well as we can. We will do all we can to ensure your stay here is as enjoyable as possible, and are more than happy to point out local attractions and facilities which are too good to miss. If you need anything, just ask, and if we can help, we will. The Annex is always thoroughly cleaned and prepared prior to all guests arriving. The 3pm check in, and 10.00 am check out ensures we have enough time to make sure the Annex is ready for the next guests. Early check ins, and late check outs are very often not available. However If no guests are in the night before or day you are leaving, it might be possible, however a £10 per hour fee applies to check ins, earliest would be 1pm, and latest check out 11am, £10 fee applies, please enquire when booking.

The space
Foxglove Cottage is located in the historic heart of one of Rutland's prettiest villages. The building has been in our family for many years and has been carefully restored into a super comfortable and stylish holiday home for our family and guests who wish to enjoy a break away in a very lovely house with a beautiful garden.

As such, it is most definitely not a "party" house. It’s also not suitable for children of a ‘boisterous’ nature given the furnishings, pale carpets etc. That said, very many children have stayed without mis-hap, but consideration is required and a sensible level of parental guidance.

Foxglove Cottage exudes understated quality and good taste. The fixtures, fittings, appliances, beds, furniture, linens and even the cutlery have been chosen with a paired down style and comfort in mind. Whilst the building is traditional, there are mod cons too, with a Sonos sound system (simply download the app) installed throughout and a large but discrete internet connected flat screen TV.

For those with children, we supply by arrangement in advance: two high chairs for the table plus a baby chair; a large good quality folding travel cot with bedding; up to three stair gates on the two short flights of stairs. The top floor bedroom 3 has its own chill out area and TV for children (please, no sweets, food or drinks to be consumed upstairs...) with two large bean bags, table football and a selection of simple toys. Children love the independence of the top floor and adults enjoy the quiet!

For those with teens there is a little garden studio covered by the WIFI with simple seating, a table and a radiator for chilly nights. Ideal for throwing the kids out to "chill" after a family supper. The studio is also a nice spot to sit and read with a cup of tea whilst looking out onto the quiet gardens of a rainy day.

Every care has been taken to ensure that the cottage presents immaculately and with style. This is not a "rough and tumble" country party pad, nor a generic ‘rental’. Rather, it has been carefully and stylishly upgraded to create a charming period escape for its owners and guests. Guests are requested to treat the property as they would their own immaculate home. We believe this is a very special cottage deserving of consideration, both for the enjoyment of future guests but also ourselves, as we are frequent visitors too.

Re pets, there are specific rules that apply. In summary guests should only bring very well behaved and toilet trained pets that can be kept downstairs and not venture up to the bedroom floors.

Have a very comfortable stay and enjoy the cottage and its beautiful garden and location in the heart of this charming village.

Guest access
Everywhere, apart from the garage.

Other things to note
The cottage has two private parking spaces (with plenty more parking 3 minutes walk away on Church Road by the old Railway Inn pub).

On pets, guests may bring 1 dog to the cottage subject to prior notification and verification of certain conditions. Namely, that no animals are permitted at any time to go upstairs to the first or second floors and that the guest verifies that the pet is fully toilet and house trained and that as such there is no likelihood of toilet accidents or damage to furniture and furnishings (eg by chewing or scratching). A stair gate will be provided for your visit to prevent upstairs access.

There is one bathroom on the first floor with a separate toilet downstairs. The bathroom has a super efficient shower.

The funnies you should note:

Please only slippers inside the cottage. There is a large shoe rack at the entrance and we supply Crocs for ‘nipping in and out’ with ease. In the winter months remember to bring your slippers...

Miele dishwashers: to open the door post a cycle, you must first close the door. Strange but true. You cannot open the door until you first close it - a counter-intuitive child safety device!
Freezer: there are two under-counter fridges. One has a small freezer section for ice cubes etc. When closing the door, push down slightly at the nearside so that the door can shut - for some reason if you do not its tricky to close.

The Front door: is secured by Banham high security locks. When leaving the door open when alone, push down the door stop on the inside of the door (lock side) to prevent the door blowing closed by the wind and locking you out.

Guests (and more particularly their children...) are strongly encouraged to eat food in the dining and kitchen area please. Please, no food or non-water drinks are to be consumed in the upstairs bedrooms to avoid additional cleaning costs.

The space
The moment you arrive at Pea Cottage, you'll feel pampered, private and hidden from the outside world. This super-luxurious cottage is exceptional.

Overhead are beautiful honey-coloured beams, and underfoot is heated brick and oak flooring. The custom kitchen is very high end, and no matter what you're cooking, it always tastes nicer if it comes out of a posh Aga!
With the dining table nearby, you can dim the lights, play some vinyl, and you'll have the most intimate dining experience to remember.

Fancy a night in? Cuddle up in front of the log burner and binge watch TV over the ultra-fast internet. Alternatively, sip prosecco from your private patio while watching the sunset.

The bathroom is very special and has been used in several beauty photoshoots. There is a cast-iron rolltop bath, a deluge shower, and a generous supply of fluffy white towels.

The bedroom has a super-kingsize bed, and an upcycled chapel door has created a stylish headboard. The bed itself has a super comfy cashmere mattress dressed using crisp white bed linen.

In the churchyard, neighbouring the award winning and brilliant Railway Inn, this 18th century Ketton stone cottage is a very special place to come and stay with friends and family. We have the Rutland Vineyard, a village stores, it is near Rutland Water, there are fab local walks, a great food scene, and there is Burghley House in Stamford, “England’s most attractive town” according to John Betjeman. For me, it is like the Loire and Cotswold towns, but friendlier and with fewer Range Rovers.

The space
An eighteenth century Ketton stone cottage with Collyweston slate in the churchyard of the beautiful and impressive St Mary The Virgin village church. We have two double bedrooms and a twin room. In three years, we’ve had new slates on the roof, a VELUX window put in upstairs, a new boiler, and in February 2025, we have just had a fantastic new bathroom installed, and the whole place decorated. With the log burner, White Company Egyptian cotton bedding, stylish kitchen and lovely outdoor space overlooking the churchyard, we welcome you warmly to come and stay at Bumblebee Cottage in this architecturally beautiful and really friendly Rutland village. The Railway Inn, run by Louby and Jamie, is my favourite pub in the world, relegating the French House in Soho and The Bluebell in York to silver and bronze on the podium respectively. Dogs are more than welcome. You’re in the countryside!

Guest access
Park outside the Railway Inn or the church itself on Church Rd. Wander into the churchyard and you'll find Bumblebee Cottage, number 23 back left. The key is in the keybox by the door.

Other things to note
Stamford is a town which has always encouraged superlatives. Celia Fiennes, the late 17th-century traveller, said Stamford is 'as fine a built town all of stone as may be seen'.

Sir Walter Scott apparently doffed his hat to the view up to St Mary's Church, claiming it was the finest sight on the road between London and Edinburgh.

John Betjeman called Stamford 'England's most attractive town'.

Lady Wedgewood, writing in 1936, said 'Among stone-built towns there may be some that equal, none I think that surpass Stamford and, since here the Welland leaves the freestone country to enter on the vagaries of a Fen river, it certainly chooses the supreme, architectural moment.'

Pevsner says 'The climax [of Lincolnshire] in terms of historical as well as architectural significance, is... the town of Stamford, the English country market town par excellence'.

W. G. Hoskins, the famous 1950s historian, said:
If there is a more beautiful town in the whole of England I have yet to see it. The view of Stamford from the water-meadows on a fine June evening, about a quarter to half a mile upstream, is one of the finest sights that England has to show. The western sunlight catches the grey limestone walls and turns them to gold. It falls on towers and spires and flowing water, on the warm brown roofs of Collyweston slates, and on the dark mass of the Burghley woods behind. The hipped and mansard roofs of the town rise from the edge of the river above the flashing willows, tier upon tier, to the spire of All Saints, and the towers of St Martin's, St John's, and St Michael's, and, above them all, to the noble tower and spire of St Mary's, the central jewel in the crown of Stamford...
[ East Midlands and the Peak, ed. G. Grigson (London, 1951) ]

In 1993, BBC television used Stamford as the setting for George Eliot's Middlemarch drama. The producer, Louis Marks, said:
When we were planning the programme we presumed we would have to film all over the country - a street here, a square there, a house somewhere else. But then our researchers came back and told us they had found this marvellous town that had everything. So I went up to Lincolnshire, took one look and I knew they were right. Stamford is beautiful, extraordinary; it is absolutely stunning.
