Waterfront holiday rentals in Leicestershire

We booked this stay for 5 adults and a 2.5 year old for family members bday. The place is stunning and the hot tub is an added bonus. Lounge area is brilliant and comfy. Dining table area great. Kitchen was really well equipped. Bedrooms spotless and beds very comfy! Main bedroom had bifold doors with amazing views. Local area great we went to Calke abbey and the local pubs. Went to Alton towers final day and only 50 min drive. Coffee and tea station on arrival was a lovely touch. Outside sofa area comfy and stylish. I would say that the outside seating area needs more chairs / a little coffee table as there isn’t anywhere to put drinks or enough room for all 5 adults to sit. Also maybe some plastic garden cups would be good. Also to note that there is a big drop at end of garden to a stream - whilst toddler loved seeing resident ducks it was a watch 24/7 situation. Travel cot provided but not suitable for over 2 as too small. Overall loved the stay ! Would def go back.

I would highly recommend this apartment if you want to spend time in the city centre as it’s 5 min walk and it’s next to the train station with a Tesco , sally was wonderful with answering any questions I had and also gave me an extra hour check out , I will defo try to use sally every time I’m in Nottingham from now on.

Warm, comfortable lodge in peaceful position overlooking small, lovely wetland area. Very well appointed with plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. Easy access for me with my bad knee and flat, pretty walks around the area. Simon is easy to communicate with and we loved our stay. Thank you Simon - and the welcome bottle of wine was much appreciated.

Wonderful stay here - we celebrated my son's second birthday here with grandma and grandad. Jeremy was a great host. The lodge was very clean, peaceful and comfortable. Also very safe for a toddler with the gated decking and all on one level. Mercia Marina is a perfect base. My only complaint is that we could not stay longer! We will be back. Many thanks! :-)

lovely tranquil place overlooking a nice lake. looks like eventually it will be surrounded similar pods and huts.

It was my first Airbnb experience and absolutely perfect, Very friendly hosts, My kiddies loved the pool table and meeting milo, The fact I could cook like at home was great. The beds were comfy and we did feel like we was at a home from home, would highly recommend and I am certain we will stay again. Thankyou for making my first time with Airbnb amazing.

We stayed at Kev's place for 2 nights for a family get together... brilliant and highly recommend.. even to the point where when we had a flat battery when setting off home, the neighbours rallied together with jump leads.. Would definitely return

Elise’s place was perfectly located for me and communication was great. I had a lovely stay!

Went away for the weekend and had an amazing stay. The Shepard’s hut was spotless with all the amenities listed. The hot tub and outdoor space was lovely and easy to use. The local area was stunning, with lovely walks and restaurants near by. A perfect getaway.
