The Old Stables

Fran is a wonderful host and crammed so many helpful little touches into the Old Stables, from a full set of guides and pamphlets to local activities to a comprehensive welcome package of essentials such as milk, water and cereals. It's nice to find a place to stay that even has sauces and salt and pepper - much overlooked by other property owners. We had a wonderful time, chilling out on the patio watching the sheep grazing and spotting wildlife. The property is perfectly positioned to access the Stag & Hounds pub (about a one minute walk) with its amazing food and warm welcome. A great base for all of the attractions in this beautiful area, including Melton Mowbray and Rutland Water.

Loverly cosy place, clean and tidy accommodation and surroundings, very helpful owner who is very explanatory about the local area, would definitely book there again

An amazing property and a fantastic host.

Lovely little place, the host was super friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended

This is a lovely little getaway place for solo travelers or couples. very cozy with the fire and basic coffee/tea facilities. The hosts were amazing and very friendly with great knowledge of the area to help find things to do and places to eat.

A warm welcome from the owner. Extremely cosy & comfortable.

Friendly welcome, warm comfortable accommodation, and perfectly situated, in High Leicestershire, for our needs. We stayed 2 nights and ate in the Stag & Hounds both nights, a mere 50m away, where the locals and staff were very friendly and the food delicious. We had a small issue with the hot water which our host solved quickly and efficiently. This is a characterful conversion of some old outbuildings, hence the `eco' rating, with plenty of space and good parking.

Gorgeous place to stay, so perfectly cost for a country get-away. Fran had decorated the barn in with little Christmas touches, and we were well supplied with cookies, cupcakes and tea. The electric blankets were a bonus!

The host was very friendly and made check in really easy, even starting the fire in the stove for us. The room was very nicely done up, cozy and comfy, with plenty of warmth from the fire. The kitchen area was compact but well supplied and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again should we be in the area.

very quiet, good nights sleep, not much in the way of options for eating out, went to the next village along to the Stilton and Cheese which was quite nice
