Family-friendly vacation rentals in Leicestershire

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)

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.

We had an amazing time at the hut - exactly as shown and perfect for a quick getaway The bed is incredibly comfortable and cosy, has windows overlooking the field and has a great projector The hot tub is perfectly positioned to enjoy a view of the horses playing in the field, gets sun all day, it heats up fairly quickly and is easy to set up. Lynden was lovely too! She called once we’d arrived to make sure we settled in well and answered any questions, was incredibly responsive the entire time, she even gave us a tour on our last day of the farm and let us help with and pet the horses which was definitely one of the highlights! We really enjoyed hearing all of her stories about the animals and their history, you can feel how well cared for all of the animals are and if offered the chance to meet them, should absolutely go for it! I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, have already recommended it to some of the animal lovers in my family and would love to stay here again!

Such a beautiful area , Dave was lovely so kind and helpful , was up for a chat at any time and went out of he’s way to help us . The place itself was so cosy and peaceful and the views were amazing . Will definitely be recommending and coming back .

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.

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.

Perfect location for a quiet getaway

Very nice house. We've enjoyed our stay.

This was our first Air B&B experience. If Hugh and his Emma are anything to go by as hosts we will always choose this option over any hotel. They helped us out of the way to make us feel at home. We were in-between selling a house thus required a month long place to reside. With the amount of baggage and luggage we could not have stayed anywhere else. The family let us use their shed space and took the burden off us. The entire property is just "wow". Endless green fields with local habitat, horses in barns, pet chickens and beautifully landscaped gardens around the whole palace like estate. A month is a lot of time but the family was very proactive to any queries or requirements. The dwelling itself has a lot of character, Endless paintings and views to die for. Not to mention the collection of multitude of books. The host had provided detailed information pack about anything and everything. We wish them prosperity and happiness in all future endeavours. Hugh do take a break!

Olga’s place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I really appreciated how responsive and flexible Olga was! Thanks for having us

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!

We had a great stay at Caroline and Roger’s Airbnb. Communication was extremely good. Fiona gave us great directions and gave us lots of recommendations on where to eat and go. Roger was there when we arrived and gave us a really warm welcome and showed us around our accommodation. Beautiful location, we would highly recommend staying here

This is such a lovely house, very clean, with books, a spacious loft room, and a garden to relax in. The location is near to a tram stop; shops, Tesco's, Sainsbury's are about 15 minutes' walk away. The welcome fruit and wine added a thoughtful touch to the welcome extended to us. Thank you, Michael and Heather, for a wonderful stay!

So close to town and anything you need to do in Nottingham. Near to local transport and places to eat out. A nice and quiet location close to the middle of town... perfect.

By far the best lodge we’ve stayed in. The place was spotless the beds are lovely and comfortable and it had everything you could. We had young children with us and they loved it. The views are absolutely incredible and even better when the sun is setting. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. It’s even better than it looks in the photos! We will definitely be back for another visit. The host are lovely people as well. 10/10

I stayed here for 5 weeks and was very comfortable, with everything you could need. The area seems nice and safe, walkable to city centre/train station and a quick bus ride to the university. It's worth being aware that you can clearly hear the people in the upstairs flat (footsteps, phone alerts etc) but I sleep with headphones in so not too much of a problem for me.

Always good to stay on Dan's fla, I highly recommend it . Congratulations Dan for your stay in Derby I loved . Thank you

wonderful house to stay highly recommended

Lyla and Stephen have crafted a beautiful little holiday home separate from their house, but on the same property and they are perfect hosts. My son and I loved our stay which was walking distance from the City Cricket Academy where my son did a half term camp

Host Chris was very welcoming and informative. Lodge was a lovely retreat for two in perfect location, very private and peaceful. Would highly recommend local farm shop Farndon Fields Market Harborough, great local produce and we ate a delicious breakfast there. Market Harborough itself worth a visit too. Local pub Coach & Horses Lubenham is under new management, very friendly and good selection of well kept beers. Would highly recommend, we are already looking to book again. Ian & Gee

Lovely house, clean and clear communication.

A lovely little hideaway in a safe peaceful part of the city centre. The space was cosy and comfortable, had everything I needed for a 4 night stay with clear instructions and easy access. Although there is no parking, there is plenty in walking distance for reasonable charges. Many thanks to the host, I hope to book again!
