Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rutland Water

Location was excellent for our purposes (in the center of the city, few minutes walking distance from the University, the market and the railway station) The host was a bit slow in responding before arrival in the UK, but issues regarding were resolved upon arrival at the airport. Overall the apartment was in good to excellent condition apart from some issues which were considered minor due to the relative short stay of 8 days. (One window was very tricky to open and close, the freezer needed some defrosting, one of the faucets had a broken drainer, no towels or sheets were changed during the length of our stay)

The best cost cabin! We had such a lovely time! My partner and I booked a weekend stay for our anniversary and to take the dog away for his first trip. It didn’t disappoint! The cabin was clean and homey, heating was on when we arrived so it was cosy when we got in and had everything we needed for a much needed relaxing trip! Alan was lovely, greeting us when we got in and was very responsive when I had any questions. The walk for the dog was lovely and the hot tub was the cherry on top! Deffo will be staying here again! Thanks for a lovely weekend!

We stayed in Oak Cottage at Elms Farm Cottages and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Carol was a fantastic host - very communicative, flexible and helpful and the cottage was perfect - very comfortable and with excellent amenities - all the small things taken care of. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day.

We loved our stay, it was a perfect weekend getaway in the countryside. Lynden was a lovely and welcoming host, the cabin was cosy, and the hot tub and fire pit was perfect for relaxing on an evening. Would recommend to friends and family and would go back for another short escape

Great stay loved the hot tub which we used late in the evening and watched the stars. Really comfortable and relaxing weekend break

I loved it so much I have booked to go again, disappointed that the prices are higher. However it was the perfect break that I needed.

Fred's place was the perfect place for our getaway with friends last weekend. Everything was spotless and there was plenty of space for us all to relax together in multiple different views. We were lucky to have nice weather which made the views from the place amazing. Thank you very much for a great stay, would definitely recommend staying to anyone else

Just got home from a lovely, relaxing stay here. Met up with 5 friends who now live all over the country and this was a great, central location. Tom met us as we arrived and showed us how everything worked. House was clean with some quirky lamps, each bedroom had an en-suite plus kettle and cups. The hot tub was a perfect addition. Lost many an hour chatting away while sat in it. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location. Claire was very helpful and responsive throughout.

Lovely peaceful location, really clean and homely with great hosts

Had a very nice one night stay. The cottage was lovely and very comfortable and the host was very good too. Would stay again.

I stayed at The Hayloft whilst looking for a place to rent of my own, the house became like my home and I truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the countryside and how private it felt. The house was pristine and they had a newly renovated bathroom and kitchen, it was amazing to get a chance to use their place as a stepping stone. I would’ve loved to have stayed on. The hosts were extremely nice and responded to all my queries, I’ll definitely be back and would recommend them to everyone I know and don’t know!

This was the perfect place for an escape away from everything. Roger & Caroline were very welcoming and friendly. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed, we were appreciative of the bacon, eggs etc!

We stayed for 2 nights from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day 2024 and what a find this cabin was. As the listing states, there's no TV but that was fine with us and we spent a lovely couple of days enjoying countryside walks (our dog loved it!), conversation, board games and reading. It was wonderfully peaceful and we all felt refreshed from the break. The only very minor issue was that there is only a combi microwave and a 2-ring induction hob. I brought along an air fryer/oven so was able to knock out our Christmas dinner pretty well but be aware if you are planning to cook anything exciting. Additionally, despite having an induction hob at home, I couldn't work out how to get it working but that wasn't an issue for me. Great wifi, wonderful walks abound, we were greeted very nicely and then left to our (happy) devices throughout our stay. I can recommend The Willow Tree in Bourn for wonderful food but we didn't try anywhere else, given the times we were there. Many thanks, Jonathan.

The Writing Room was an excellent place for our long weekend get-away. We celebrated our anniversary and so the place had even been decorated with balloons and rose petals on the bed. Really nice touch, felt very personal and thoughtful! On top of that the room was super cosy, with quick and easy access to central Cambridge. Additionally there’s a pub and food shop nearby, which added to the ease, comfort and convenience of the stay. Heike and her Co-hosts provided great tips on where to go for food, scenery and experiences. All in all, we had an excellent stay!

we had a great time and admired his works it was very nice very communicative the owner is mega great. I have already arranged another meeting but with the whole family Because it was worth showing it all, it was beautiful

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.

Patricia's home is lovely, warm and cozy. We booked at the last minute so that our family could spend Christmas together. We appreciated the lovely welcome and provision of staples like milk, butter, tea, coffee, juice and also crusty bread. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner with ease. Patricia had even gone to the trouble to decorate her home for Christmas for us, which was very special. We all enjoyed our time together there. It is a bonus to have a full bathroom and an extra toilet for a family, too. The setting in the park is peaceful and welcoming and there are nice walks around the woods and lakes; our dog loved it, too. This is a wonderful place to stay in every way and Patricia is a very thoughtful and accommodating host. Thank you!

Fantastic week at Belton Woods Lodge. David was a great host with clear communication and information received prior to stay. Hope to book again!

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.

The Holliday caravan House offers a charming and cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms are elegantly furnished, and very clean. The common living room making it an ideal spot for both leisure and special events. Guests can enjoy a spacious living room and lovely hot tub if you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a unique lodging experience, this Holliday caravan House is a fantastic choice.

We had a wonderful time even though weather wasnt great Lodge was perfect everything you need perfect location on site will definitely be booking again

Was lovely and clean although odd bits like under beds and walls had a few marks but nothing that would put me off staying there again. Really comfy and clean beds I have a 2 year old and she usually wakes up in the night to get in my bed but while we stayed here she stayed in her own room all night as I think the bed was comfier than hers at home 🤣 brilliant location as really quite but abit of a walk for little ones, and the hot tub was really clean and brilliant touch!

The location is idyllic for a peaceful break. We were there aeroplane spotting at RAF Coningsby and the location was easy to respond to action on the airfield. Holiday club house in the evening with the usual entertainment made it more like a holiday.
