Family-friendly vacation 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.

Really nice cottage. Quite new so everything is fresh. The hot tub was fab, hot and ready to jump into as we arrived. plenty of space to park. Would stay again.

Amazing place amazing animals and amazing people . Will be coming back every chance we get 😍

We had a lovely weekend at Gillian's house. Great peaceful location and fab facilities and hot tub. Gillian was very helpful and responded quickly to our queries. The house was excellent value for money and very clean. Thank you Gillian.

Great stay at Stretton Lakes. The other cabins seemed to be utilised by people making use of the fishing lake, but our children loved the hot tub, tennis courts and the odd game of football on the grass. Stretton Lakes was a great base for the area - the local (gastro) pub, kayaking on Rutland Water, villages/ towns like Stamford and even a theme park for the kids.

A lovely location. Nice and peaceful for a family or friends to get together. Lots of space for everyone and a great hot tub with lovely views. Lovely and warm even on cold February days. Highly recommended.

The property was in a great location, easy to walk to town, the area is gorgeous , right near the castle. Dimitri was a great host, communicative, and he was really accommodating. The home was spacious, well decorated, spotlessly clean. The beds were comfy, we all slept very well. I agree with the other comments that it's a little tired and there are some things that could do with a fix (like the fridge door). But I think they've priced it accordingly so it's 5 stars from me, I would definitely stay again.

A delightful cottage nestling behind the high street of Kimbolton. Tastefully decorated befitting its historical Listed Building Status and both warm and comfortable. I stayed for many weeks and was sad to leave. I would highly recommend both the cottage and its host Rebecca who made my stay so enjoyable.

Very roomy and well equipped caravan. Great for dog lovers. Bread, eggs, milk and cereal all provided. it was a good base for us while visiting relatives in the local area.

Fantastic place to stay but really made perfect by the incredibly helpful, responsive and accommodating host. They really went over and above to make our stay brilliant even though we were only there one night. Will book again without hesitation.

A lovely overnight stay at Daphne’s Cottage which is comfortable, cosy, clean and very well equipped. The kitchen especially has everything you need with plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The dishwasher came in very useful after dinner. Plenty of tea, coffee and sugar with a fresh pint of milk waiting in the fridge. Also special mention must be made of the shower cubicle with a very powerful shower. Elizabeth greeted us on arrival and made sure we could get in then came to see us off ensuring we had enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Although it was only an overnight stay this time wouldn’t hesitate to stay longer if in the area 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!

We loved our stay at Caroline and Roger's- situated in beautiful, peaceful grounds with amazing views of the surrounding countryside, and the property was very clean, cosy, spacious and well-equipped. We felt very welcome, they are really friendly hosts. A great base for walking, as well as the Foxton Locks and Naseby Civil War battlefield and memorials. Market Harborough is a lovely town and not far by car, as are other historic houses and gardens, but unfortunately at this time of year they were all closed. We would happily go back and stay at the property again in the Spring/Summer to explore. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for just one night for my partners birthday and took our two dogs and had the best time! The photos do not do the place justice, everything is hand crafted and there was everything you could need. There is a kitchen with loads of bits and bobs available to use and a river that you can actually go for a dip in. The bed was super warm and cosy even for a cold February evening. We loved sitting by the fireplace and the dogs loved roaming around the grounds. Could not recommend this place enough and we really hope to return with more of our family in the future. Thanks John for being a wonderful and friendly host!

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.
