Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rutland

Absolutely lovely place. My second time here and it is just perfect. Amenities are top tier with clear instructions - we booked the games barn extra and had a lovely night playing games and making pizzas in the pizza oven. The house is extremely homely and cosy, with plenty of space for everyone. The hot tub and sauna are great. Love the animals in the garden. Lovely location for gentle walks and pub just over the road or a nice walk into the next village. Well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen including some little treats, and even robes, extra towels, toiletries and flip flops etc. Really excellent home & hosts. Thanks very much!

Had a lovely stay in the lodge. Beds comfy, place was clean and luxurious, great to have robes for when utilising the hot tub. Temp of hot tub did unfortunately vary and was cold on first night but soon sorted through instructions from host. Overall a very lovely stay with beautiful views and secluded quiet environment.WiFi a bonus! Lovely touches including bottle of wine, welcome note and folder providing info on local area and places to eat. We enjoyed visiting the foxton locks, the local tearoom and the local market for some lovely fresh produce.

Another amazing stay at Dave’s Farm Lodge! This was our second time staying at Dave’s and it was just as perfect as we remembered — if not better. The place is peaceful, spotless, and beautifully set up with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. You can tell Dave puts real care into every detail, from the cozy touches inside to the well-kept surroundings outside. Waking up to the quiet countryside and sipping coffee with those views is something we truly look forward to. Dave is a fantastic host — friendly, responsive, and respectful of privacy, but always there if you need anything. This has officially become one of our favorite getaway spots, and we already know we’ll be back again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind in a serene and welcoming space!

We just spent 2 nights at Fred and Charlotte's glamping retreat - and what a weekend! In a peaceful and private location, the accommodation is beautifully clean, well-equipped and was absolutely perfect for our group of 14! Especially loved the hot tub, fire pit area, spacious kitchen/ dining room and the on-site bar! We even had a yoga class in the field alongside the surrounding cows and horses! I would highly recommend to any other large groups looking for somewhere to stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

From beginning to the end - great communication. There was a small issue with the hot tub on arrival, but they were already on it. It really was a lovely place and relaxing; well equipped. Pub was an 18 minute walk, but nice following the reservoir. Watch out for the pub opening times and when they serve food! For coffee and a snack try Dusty's in a neighbouring village.

Such a lovely, relaxing stay!! The view was incredible and absolutely loved seeing the animals :)

We stayed over New Year 2025 with friends, and it was an excellent choice. Easy to find, free parking (we parked right outside), lots of space, really well stocked kitchen, excellent shower, and amazingly comfy beds. The road outside is really quiet, despite being off of a main road. Small but really lovely outdoor space. The three bedrooms are separate, two on one floor and then up some narrow stairs to the two single beds. The layout is unusual, with the living room being downstairs in the basement, but that made it really cosy, especially with the underfloor heating. Having a loo downstairs was good too, don't think that's clear in the listings. It's opposite a park, so really great for nice walks from the door, and just a few minutes stroll into the main part of town. Lovely pub one minute walk away. Stamford is a lovely, very picturesque town, lots of good shops, pubs and restaurants. For a weekends (or longer) away with friends, this place ticks every box.

Absolutely spectacular location and place—one of my all-time favorite Airbnbs. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, yet 10 minutes from town and attractions. Very communicative and helpful host. Hope to stay again next year!

We spent two very comfortable nights at Fennel Folly. It’s in a great location and was very dog friendly. If it had been warmer (although we had gorgeous sunny weather!) would have loved to make more use of the lovely balcony. We will definitely recommend to friends and family who will be visiting such a beautiful area.

My three grown-up sons and I enjoyed a very pleasant stay in Jane's place. Great location on the edge of Stamford's beautiful Georgian town centre. The house is cosy and a little quirky (interesting). Only one walk-in shower but it's a good 'un

Charming accommodation, good location very close to the water and town. Good pub food nearby. Thoroughly recommended.

Cuckoo Barn Lodge was just perfect for getting together with our family for a celebratory weekend. The large open plan living area suited us really well and the kitchen part of it was spacious and well equipped. A couple of us even sat out on the deck briefly. The bedrooms downstairs were simply furnished but comfortable. We loved the rural location, walking from the property and at Rutland Water and visiting Burghley House. We would definitely return

Peaceful, quiet location which was ideal for a getaway during difficult personal circumstances. Carrot cottage was homely, inviting and well equipped - a perfect bolthole for an escape. Would definitely return for a future longer break!

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The hosts are fantastic and the lovely warm pool is great to play in with the kids. You can even go fishing at the end of their garden ( which I took full advantage of!!) or just relax with a glass of wine and sit looking over the river. We look forward to returning next year.

Stephen is amazing, personable, responsive, ready with helpful actionable suggestions if you need them . The place itself is on a beautiful , riverside property, with beautifully maintained garden, swimming pool. It is 10 minutes drive from Peterborough and 25 minutes form Stomford, and has many trails and walks around that you can explore.

My boys and I had a wonderful stay at Barley Cottage. Stephen and Philip are amazing hosts, super friendly, very knowledgeable of the area and great conversation. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower was great. Water Newton is an idyllic little village just a stones throw from Peterborough, but a world away! We loved every minute of our time there.

What a beautiful and special place! So many lovely little touches and such an interesting building! The surroundings are so pretty, much wildlife and it felt like it had its own Mediterranean micro climate! Sharon & Lulu were great hosts, so helpful and responsive. Really flexible on check in and check out times and provided local recommendations. This included Fords Kitchen, we were lucky enough to have Tom provide dinner one evening. The food was delicious and beautiful, also a complete stress free treat because he knows the venue and hosts! Having a yoga studio on site was a gorgeous addition. Lulu guided us through the most magical private yoga, breath work & sound bath. I very much hope to return! ❤️🥰
