Family visit
Loved the cottage and the welcome was truly wonderful! We did have problems with Maisie as there is no safe place to let her out as the cottage opens onto the road, also all the area around Rutland water is dogs on leads only so sadly no proper exercise there. We did find a truly wonderful walk around Empingham along the river through plantations of newly planted trees and the most incredible display of wildflowers, excellent!

Fantastic little house in Empingham
We stayed at this house for the second time, using it as a base for fishing at the nearby by reservoirs of Rutland, Grafham, and Pitsford. It's a great property, very well equipped and comfortable. Communications with the owners were easy and helpful.

Fabulous, quirky cottage. Everything you could want for a break near Rutland Water, which is in walking distance. The hosts have thought of everything from lots of fluffy towels to a freshly baked loaf of bread to go with the pots of homemade preserves.

Wonderful break in a beautiful property
We had a wonderful stay at Primrose Hall in November. This is a beautifully restored and very well appointed home in a lovely area of Rutland. Close to all the amenities and beauty that Rutland Water and surrounding villages has to offer, our hosts Dale and Helen put the icing on the cake with their warm welcome and help for our elderly Labrador during our stay. Some lovely touches of bread, milk, eggs, logs for the fire and all essentials to welcome us and we were set for a cosy, relaxing time. Scrupulously clean, lovely comfortable bed and inviting surroundings. We couldn't ask for more! Cannot recommend highly enough- thank you again.

Communication with Dale and Helen was excellent from start to finish. Primrose Hall was even better than the pictures suggested with plenty of room for four adults, a baby and a small dog! It is a beautiful and stylish renovation with countless lovely touches. And to cap it all, we entered to the smell of a freshly baked homemade loaf left for us with other essentials. Really thoughtful. And Empingham itself and the surrounding area is a delight. A perfect few days. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Dale and Helen.

Idyllic cottage in the heart of Rutland
This is a superbly renovated and maintained cottage that sits close to Rutland Water in a pretty village and beautifully reflects the architecture of the area. The hosts, Dale and Helen, have thought of pretty much every guest's needs and catered to them; from the ready to light wood burner to the welcome pack and copious information about local amenities and facilities. Quite simply, we'll be back and for longer!

We had a lovely short break. The village was beautiful and the cottage had everything we needed. The smell of freshly baked bread when we arrived was a lovely touch. Dale was also kind enough to bring us some extra logs for the fire to make our stay even more cosy. Can't fault this property at all, it was a pleasure to stay and Dale made us feel very welcome.
