Rectory Cottage was absolutely delightful as were our hosts, Joanna and Piers. The very generous Welcome Pack set the tone for our hugely enjoyable stay in such a comfortable and well appointed cottage - we especially lovely the colour schemes, furniture and fittings. We hope to return in the future. Many thanks to Joanna and Piers.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad that you have enjoyed your stay at Rectory Cottage.
The cottage was lovely, very comfortable and central to where we wanted to visit.
The cottage was lovely, set in the owners grounds, you are still afforded the utmost privacy with its small courtyard and garden. The house is decorated beautifully, and the gift basket was a most welcome addition. Its location is perfect, easy access to Stamford and the A1. Is somewhere we would gladly visit again.
This is a delightful cottage in a wonderful location. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully furnished, and the arrival hamper was excellent. The local scenery is lovely, and there is so much to see and do; from the lovely town of Stamford only a few minutes away, to the impressive Burghley House and Gardens, to the spectacular Rutland Water and Barnsdale Gardens. All in all a special place for a couple.
A beautifully decorated and furnished cottage with its own parking in a very convenient village on the outskirts of Stamford. Very comfortable bed! As we were late in the season we didn’t eat outside - but we could see that would be another plus in summer. The only downside was that - for our elderly eyes - the lighting in the sitting area wasn’t bright enough (it was fine in the kitchen and bedroom). But having found the same elsewhere we now bring our own rechargeable little lamps, so no great problem.
We adored this stupendously stylish, comfortable and very well equipped cottage - lots to attention to detail. One of the best we've stayed in and highly recommended in this lovely part of the country.
Our 2nd stay at the cottage, had a great time, the cottage is so well designed and thought out. Can't wait to come back next year.
Beautiful cottage fitted to a very high standard. There are 2 patio areas so you can chase the sun or shade. Welcome hamper included some local produce which is always a nice touch. We went during the much publicised heatwave but if you close all of the sturdy shutter doors and windows when you are out it is very effective at keeping the cottage at a reasonable temperature. Our second visit and we will be back but will try a different time of year for a change. Located close to Stamford, a small town with bags of character. Rutland Water within easy reach and numerous historic houses and gardens are also within a short driving distance.
Beautiful, stylish property. Maybe a little tight for space here and there, but nevertheless a very enjoyable stay for us.
Beautiful cottage in a great location. Joanna was a wonderful host!
Excellent accommodation. 5 star.
Rectory Cottage is a real hidden gem. Decorated to an extremely high standard and also extremely well equipped. The cottage is top quality throughout and everything you could want for a stay of most durations. Car parking is next to the entrance and convenient. The cottage itself is not overlooked and is very private. Situated just off the A1 its location is perfect for exploring the local area and its many attractions. You will struggle to find anything this good elsewhere. I would highly recommend staying here.
Lovely small 'cottage' (actually a converted stable, we think. Two pleasant private small 'gardens', a delightful bedroom and state of the art tech. Also a more than adequate kitchen and very pleasant dining room. All in a beautiful neglected area of England, with charming helpful hosts.
A beautiful cosy cottage. It was well equipped and perfectly appointed. We were toasty warm and the Christmas decorations were a lovely surprise.
Rectory cottage deserves 5 stars as it is a real gem located in a beautiful area close to Stamford and Rutland waters. The comfort and wonderfully cosy atmosphere offered is a credit to the friendly owner who knows how to pay attention to detail. This is our 3rd stay and won’t be our last.
Great place, very clean and comfortable. Very nicely decorated and tasteful furnishings.
Superb cottage and conveniently placed for trips to Stamford and Rutland Water. Lovely owners, very helpful.
A really excellent experience. Great hosts in a luxurious cottage. I would award it 6 stars.
