“Comfortable and Cosy Cottage in a lovely location” My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights on a cycling/walking visit to Rutland. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and superbly equipped with everything you could need plus nice touches such as wine, fruit, coffee tea and milk to get you started. The owner was very accommodating and helpful and was happy to squeeze us in at short notice.
The cottage is located in a lovely village close by Rutland Water and was ideal for us as it was just a short hop on our bikes to view and enjoy this picturesque area. With the towns of Stamford and Oakham closeby it is in an ideal location to explore this delightful part of the country.
“Brilliant get-away” Absolutely amazing time away from hectic city life. The property was formerly a railway station so it is quite special when you think of the history behind the layout of the house, e.g. the original station stairs and entrance doors.
Well proportioned, with spacious living room featuring three 2/3 person sofas (two of which are double sofa beds), and modern TV & DVD player. The kitchen contains everything you could possibly need for your time away, including a microwave, and a breakfast table for 6.
All three bedrooms (two are upstairs and the other is downstairs) are large doubles, all comfortably hosting double beds as well as fitted wardrobes, still with plenty of floor space to spare (we were able to easily place two travel cots in the master suite, and still have quite a lot of room to move around).
There are two bathrooms: downstairs there is a wet room with power shower, and upstairs there is a bath tub and shower cubicle - both were practical and clean, with very high water pressure. The boiler was also very good, we had no problems with the water getting cold, especially in the mornings when everyone had a shower (and there were 8 of us).
The owners live next door, and were incredibly friendly and accommodating.
Overall I would definitely recommend this cottage to others who may be interested, and having been on many other cottage breaks - I can definitely say that this was by far one of the better ones we've been to, both in terms of facilities, picturesque location (with views of fields and sheep from every angle), and value for money.
“Relaxing” Having stayed at Two Chapel Lane with a friend in May, I would certainly make a return trip. The cottage itself is a very restful place with lovely, quality decor and very good facilities - I particularly liked the varied range of DVD's on offer and the real fire. It's proximity to Stamford and Burghley House was also very handy. Communication with the owner of the cottage was always friendly and helpful - I would thoroughly recommend staying at Two Chapel Lane and hope to do so again.
“Lovely accommodation to a get together for new year” This property is immaculate. We arrived to fresh bread,eggs and milk and not forgetting The home baked mince pies. The beds were comfortable the showers were powerful. Very spacious in all the rooms. The garden is a fabulous size unfortunately we didn't make much use of it due to it being December and there was snow there on our arrival. There is a shop over the road and a chip shop within walking distance. We went to the Sun inn for Sunday lunch.... beautiful home cooked quality food. The best roast I have had in a while and very reasonably priced. The village itself is lovely and quiet with beautiful properties to have a nosy around. Would defintley return here. Thank you Katie.
“Excellent facilities, delightful and charming old cottage with all the mod cons to make you comfortable.” Sharon (Owner) has taken thought and care with the decor of her beautiful cottage to maintain its character and charm but also ensured it is clean and provides all the fascitiies to help you make the most of your stay. Lovely and well equipped kitchen. Having a dishwasher and washing machine is very helpful when you're away from home. Two of the bedrooms have a kingsize/double bed and the third a single bed and ideal for a child with books and it's cheerful decor.
There are plenty of extras in the kitchen, not always provided in self catering, such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, salt pepper, tea coffee, herbs, spices etc. I always take my own anyway when staying away as you cannot expect that all places will have so much available but it's worth sending Sharon an email to ask about anything you're not sure of to about bringing as she always replies promptly.
Upstairs bathroom has a deep bath which was very comfortable it also has an overhead shower but we did not use that.
Hambleton itself is lovely and quiet and very easy distance of Rutland Water which is great to cycle, walk or run round.
The bed was much softer than we are used to but very comfortable and we slept well.
Heating and hot water controls, easy to understand and use.
Would recommend this to friends and family and happy to stay here again if we were visiting this area.
The smallest county in England, this East Midlands delight is predominantly rural, and therefore incredibly scenic. With the enormous Rutland Water lake in the centre of the county, and plenty of activities on offer, isn’t it time you booked your next holiday rental in Rutland?
About Rutland
But there's lots of excitement to be had, both on and off the lake, and some incredible routes for walking, cycling, or just generally exploring.
What to Do
Uncover local history at the Rutland County Museum, and get a feel for what it would be like to live in such a rural area. Oakham Castle is a charming place to look around, with an unusual horseshoe collection that's well worth checking out.
Get out on the lake. Whether you prefer sailing or fishing, it's a beautiful place to spend some time. Or head for Aqua Park Rutland, an adrenaline-packed inflatable obstacle experience on the water that the adventurous will love.

Rutland view
Great place
We are five middle aged men who spend a long weekend away in January every year, and this year we decided to go to Oakham and chose Rutland View as our base for the weekend, and we're so glad we did. From the start of the booking process through to leaving on the Monday morning everything went smoothly. Communication was great and provided all of the information that we needed when we needed it and the house was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. A great place and really well positioned for exploring not only Oakham, but the surrounding area. …

Barrowden and Wakerley Station
Quirky converted station for lovely midweek stay
We really enjoyed our stay in this converted station. The large rooms and high ceilings were great with a tall family. Lots of parking, private gardens good for our small children. We brought our own travel cot - plenty of room for this in any bedroom.
Huge staircase was fun.
Nice and warm.
Good location to explore the area and for us, to break a journey south.
The owner was really helpful and quick to respond to queries - thank you for a super stay. …
