Tolethorpe Hall has origins going back 800 years to the early 11th century when the first manor house was built on the site by a Norman family who came over from France after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The setting of the hall overlooking classic English parkland in attractive Rutland countryside has changed little over centuries.


The gentle River Gwash flows gently by providing water for the historic mill built in the early 18th century on the site of a previous mill recorded in the Domesday book. The mill, just 200 yards from the hall, was part of the Tolethorpe estate until 1967

Early nineteenth century country poet, John Clare, is said to have walked with his girlfriend from Great Casterton to Ryhall along the banks of the river on summer evenings after a day working at the lime kilns in Pickworth.

The grounds of Tolethorpe Hall were landscaped in their present form in 1867 and remain much the same except that they where completely overgrown when the property was acquired by the Stamford Shakespeare Company in 1977.

A picnic on the lawns, a stroll around the lawn, pond and flowerbeds and shrubberies all add to the magic of a visit to Rutland Open Air Theatre

“A perfect retreat!” Myself and 10 friends stayed in this beautiful cottage for my friend's hen weekend. The owners greeted us on arrival and were very helpful and friendly and provided everything we needed. We had asked for the hot tub which was fabulous! The decor in the cottage was classic and beautiful and most of us described it as our dream home! The village was lovely and quiet and a stones throw away from some nice pubs and a taxi in to Stamford was only £6/£7 if you wanted to go to the bars and clubs. This really was a perfect retreat for a girly weekend away and exactly as advertised on the website, we couldn't have been more pleased.

“A Real Gem” We are a group of 9 friends who visited this wonderful cottage on 30th Nov 2012. We were met by the lovely owners who showed us round. The Cottage is spacious and very clean with welcoming touches... more

“Idylic” We stayed at the cottage just over a year ago and decided to return with family & friends for a second stay. We were not dissapointed. The cottage still retains it's lovely period charm and we loved our visits into Stamford and the surrounding villages. The accomodation was immaculate and the owners were very welcoming. The massive Inglenook was a welcoming site in the evenings as we chated in front of the burning log fire. Overall an excellent break and will be back next year.

“A Perfect English Cottage” We travelled with a group of 5 with the oldest being 89. We had a wonderful time. The accommodation was wonderful, the owners were extremely helpful and the smell of the roses outside the door heavenly. I would recommend staying here to anyone. it is situated close to many places of interest. Great restaurants in the village, and a wonderful local shop. A quaint English cottage but with every modern convenience. We stayed for 7 nights and hope to stay again. The country kitchen with the large harvest table was great for meals and sitting around to socialize. Thanks for a great start to our holiday!! Response: Thankyou for such a great review. You were all such a pleasure and its really heartwarming that you enjoyed the cottages ambience along with all its quirks so much you would like to like to return.

“Fabulous, cozy cottage ideal half way point for London and Yorkshire friends to meet up.” We had a super stay at the cottage and annexe. It was a lovely surprise to come back and find fresh fire wood delivered to the door. The location is delightful and the cottage warm, clean and very cosy. Great location for Stamford and Rutland Waters. Looking forward to a return visit next year.

“Idyllic country cottage with roaring fire, surrounded by great family and friends.” We stayed here for my sister's 30th and hired St. John's cottage and Hollyhock cottage. Pure country chic and tasteful decoration it really is a home from home. It's an idyllic country cottage full of charm and beauty and the inglenook fire is wonderful to snuggle up to on a cold winter's night. The outside hot tub was a real treat and added to the fun of the birthday celebrations. Set in a good location and close to the beautiful Georgian town of Stamford and surrounded by countryside it really is a great place to escape to and unwind. Thank you to the owner for being so helpful and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Delighted. All of one can expect of an English country cottage.” Rustic, homely, quiet. Freindly owners. I would recommend all to spend their first experience of a country cottage in this lovely place. Plenty of space for all of the family and the dogs. The surroundings are ideal and the nearby church is well worth a visit.

“Gorgeous Cottage in Lovely Location” Stayed in the cottage whilst visiting the area and International Antiques Fair. Ideally located with lovely villages within easy reach. The cottage was very spacious and clean with off road parking in an Idilic Village with friendly Pubs & Local Shop. The November weather was'nt great, but it was lovely and cosy with the Inglenook open log fire. Thanks to the owners who we found very friendly and hope to be back next year. Response: It means alot to us when guests take the time out to review our cottage in this way. We give a warm welcome to all our guests but are particularly heartened when someone has enjoyed it so much they want to come back.
