About the home

This very pretty Grade ll, listed, cottage with a hand crafted thatched roof can comfortably accommodate three people, just perfect for a get-away-from-it-all romantic break. This superbly furnished cottage is situated in the village of Caldecott, in Rutland, England's smallest county - an area known for it's outstanding natural beauty.

Caldecott is an attractive village of yellow ironstone cottages, situated on the A6003 between, Kettering and Oakham. Two local restaurants, The Plough Inn and The Castle Inn offer first-rate food and ale. Both /restaurants have the added advantage of being only a couple of minutes walk from the cottage.

Rose cottage is perfectly placed for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Only twenty minutes drive from Rutland Water, England's largest man-made lake, for fishing, bird watching, walking, horse riding, cycling sailing and windsurfing. On a sunny summer afternoon take a trip across the lake in the Rutland Belle motor steamer – its great fun. For the children there's a butterfly farm to visit, a climbing wall for budding rock climbers and a number of playgrounds for smaller children.

There are many interesting places to visit in the vicinity including, Rockingham Castle, Burghley House, home of the famous Burghley horse trials. Another 'must visit' attraction is Barnsdale gardens, made famous by the late Geoff Hamilton, well known from his appearances on the BBC's gardening programmes. His son now runs the gardens.

There are numerous quality restaurants and pubs in the area, many in fabulous village locations. For those who like old English market towns there's Uppingham, with it's friendly Friday market and well known for it's public school and some well known ex pupils including Stephen Fry. Visit the ancient and truly magnificent market town of Stamford, where Middlemarch and many other films have been made.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Leicestershire and Rutland region

Small is beautiful, and certainly England's smallest county lives up to this maxim. Rutland County measures just sixteen miles square in area, where the countryside has little changed since medieval times, apart from the vast, Rutland Water reservoir.

Rutland was first recognised as an official Shire County in the 12th Century, although its history goes back much further. Many of the town and village names date back to the early Anglo Saxon period around the 7th Century.

Where the name Rutland came from, no one is certain. Some claim it refers to the rich red colour of the soil, but it is more likely that Rutland was Rota Land, a ruler who owned a large estate in the area soon after the Roman period.

Rutland is a little piece of old England, hidden away at the heart of the country. It's a place where Kings once hunted deer in the valleys, where tiny villages were bequeathed to Mercian Queens and where charming thatched cottages, ancient churches and fine Georgian architecture are all reminiscent of a bygone age.

The Rutland area

Historic buildings in Rutland include the Great Hall of Oakham's Norman Castle, which is filled with horseshoes from visiting aristocracy over the centuries. The famous Bede House at Lyddington was built as a palace for the Bishop's of Lincoln in the 15th Century and remains an important historic site at the heart of this pretty village.

The 1970's was a most turbulent time in Rutland's modern history. Not only did the county endure a dramatic change of landscape, but against its will it was also merged with Leicestershire, despite much opposition from the local inhabitants. However, Rutlander's independent spirit prevailed, and in 1997 Rutland regained it's status as a separate English County and today remains one of the most charming rural areas in Britain.

“Problems getting the deposit back” The cottage is lovely, nce setting, helpful rep at the cottage.etc. The problem is in communication before going on holiday and getting the deposit back afterwards. I emailed several times and eventually telephoned before getting confirmation and the details of how to get there. i am now still waiting for the deposit to be returned after several emails - the last of these not acknowledged. We have been back for 5 weeks as I write this.
