Guest Reviews

• Russell (10/5): Really comfortable. Clean . Modern utilities. -
• John (10/5): -
• Charlotte (10/5): Fab convenient cosy clean accommodation - Spotless, warm, comfortable A bit dark going up external steps
• Dean (8/5): Great place to stay. - Very friendly lady looking after the property. Washing facilities if needed. Nice outside area to sit out. We Used Uber in and out of town as where there for some celebrations. Can do with a ceiling fan or any other sort of fan. We happened to be there on a very hot weekend.
• Aditi Mukherjee (10/5): - Sally our host has always been amazing. The cottage is comfortable and setup really nicely Not applicable2
• Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely settings in a great area Simple clean peaceful nice people onsite helpful
• Sheila (10/5): Warm, cosy accommodation and ideally located for Rutland Water. - The location was ideal for our cycle trip around Rutland Water. We only stayed for two nights, but found everything to be very satisfactory to enable us to do all that we wanted. On recommendation we enjoyed excellent meals at the nearby Horse and Jockey. The accommodation was warm; the big bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the lovely hot shower. Tom was helpful in downloading a map for us for the cycle route. As we left Parsnip Place, we planned a visit to Stamford, which was a huge mistake because there was a big fair taking over the town and it was impossible to park. However, we returned to Rutland Water and visited Barnsdale Gardens - stunning - don't miss it ! Although we had had a coffee and snack earlier in the tea rooms there, after our garden tour, we took our picnic along the shore at Whitwell and we were fortunate to have warm enough weather to enjoy an hour there before our journey home. We packed a lot into our short stay and found Parsnip Place an ideal location - it met all our needs. Nothing.
• Anne (10/5): Fantastic stay! Idyllic location, wonderful cottage and great staff. -
• Matthew (9/5): Superb -
• Judy (10/5): Gorgeous apartment with lovely views - The terrace was lovely to watch the wildlife from. Lovely decor. Comfy beds. Friendly family onsite. Lovely dog too 😍 Perfect location to see all Rutland water has to offer. So quiet in the evenings! The Fox pub was just a short drive away served AMAZING food and were so friendly and helpful. Gorgeous pub! Patchy WiFi BUT we were in a remote location so expected this but had a needy teenager with us!!
• Alice (10/5): Exceptional! - Lettuce Lodge was exceptional, modern, clean, cosy with a fully fitted kitchen, comfy beds, beautiful bathroom and cosy private terrace. Perfection! We didn't want to leave!
• Caitlin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicola (5/5): Passable - Location Cleanliness, uncomfortable bed, no welcome basket, not good value for money
• Tanya (9/5): convenient location for Rutland Bird Fair. Nice pub nearby. - super king size bed pleasant sitting out garden with table n chairs dish washing materials provided
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable clean and cosy
• David (9/5): Perfect location to do some writing - Location and peace - perfect for us to write Nothing
• Nicholas (6/5): Stiff back, loud neighbors and hot temperatures. - The general environment and setting was very pleasant:-) 1. The heating was on everywhere at 27C and couldn't be turned down or off!! I imagine it was attached to the owner's house, but seriously we were baking and had to keep all the windows open to stay cool. Please fix this issue. 2. The single mattresses need to be looked at/replaced. Two of them were of definite concern, one of us had to sleep in the living room (!). The creaky bed was so creaky it kept awaking people in the room, and that mattress was well used - it needs replacing. 3. The walls between adjoining houses are so thin, the TV could be heard from next door easily - and it was on literally all the time(!). Late at nt and through to the morning... Recommend quiet hrs be implemented from 10am onwards as a first step forward.
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Joe (9/5): Brilliant place to stay and see Rutland Water - Great place to stay and see Rutland water and surrounding area.
• Anonymous (4/5): too expensive for the trouble - it was ideally situated, it was clean and enough space for our group there was no direct link to which holiday let we had, another person who worked local had to go find out where ourselves and other guests were staying. we initially had no heating or hot water and for a fair time was unable to contact anyone, this was sorted for the Friday, which was confirmed by a text message but when we woke Saturday again there was no heating or hot water, 2 of our guests had to go and knock on the door, where someone in the kitchen ignored them until they knocked on the window, again it was sorted but it was not great. also the toilet flush kept breaking and we had to keep putting it back on. for the cost of 2 nights we were not particularly happy or satisfied. shame as otherwise it was lovely.
• Rachel (9/5): Hard to find a fault. - Rural location, well equipped, warm and comfortable. It sleeps 6 but would be a little tight. We are family of 5 and it works.
• Tina (8/5): Very good -
• Diane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Scott (9/5): Superb - No lights up the long drive way on the night, take a torch !
• Anthony (8/5): Very good -
• Louise (8/5): Very good -
• Adele (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tracy (10/5): Fabulous stay at Broccoli Bottom - Lovely accommodation with a private terrace to take advantage of the lovely countryside. Warm welcome and friendly service. Excellent breakfast.
• Darren (8/5): Nice and comfortable - Fantastic location
• Ann (6/5): Lovely area - The Couple who ran Broccoli Bottom were very friendly and helpful the place is lovely and the area is beautiful The accommodation is not luxurious. Uncomfortable 2 seater sofa and very small tv was not good if you wanted to stay in in the evening. No free toiletries as stated were provided as we were self catering but for the price you would expect more than 1 small bar of soap. The Horse and Jockey within walking distance did good meals overall a nice stay in a lovely area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely b&b, friendly service, tasty breakfast in tranquil location. Good base for cycling adventures around Rutland water!
• Rebecca (8/5): Lovely accommodation close to Rutland Water - We stayed in Mangetout Maison , which was ideal for a family of 4. It was perfectly located close to the sailing club in the next village. We arrived on a cold dark night and the apartment was warm and welcoming. Comfortable beds. Good kitchen /eating area. We hope to visit again.
• Teresa (10/5): Holiday Weekend in Rutland - My friend and I had a lovely stay at Broccoli Bottom, ideal situation for touring the surrounding countryside , in a lovely quiet setting .We were made very welcome by our hosts. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfasts great.Would recommend without hesitation. We had B&B but Self Catering also available, would love to go back
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great B&B! Beautiful house and grounds. - Had to check in early as we were attending a wedding. Happily let us drop out bags and change quickly. House is very well presented. Had a late breakfast next morning. Great food and service. Would highly recommend.
• Jonathan (6/5): - The place does rather over sell itself. The bed was solid and creaked badly but it was the timing of breakfast that really irritated. On day one it was only available at 9.00, which happily was OK. On day 2 it was only available at 9.30. I explained that I had a plane to catch and had to leave by 9.30 at the latest but was told that there was no way they could help because "it takes half an hour to cook". Maybe it was just because the owner was away for the week-end but it isn't my definition of hospitality.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Average B&B - Lovely house, bathroom out on the landing. breakfast fine. Was adequate for 1 night. I am sure the self catering part is extremely good.
• krystle (10/5): Fantastic b&b in beautiful surroundings - We recieved a lovely welcome from Colin who was gardening, he then gave us a tour of the b&b's fascilities. Beautifully decorated&quite grand without being OTT and showy(P.S I loved Sally's taste, her character is dotted about in the furnishing's)Our room was lovely and spacious with added extra's(robes/tv/kettle/biscuit's, tea and coffee/wifi)I esp appreciated the ornate mirror and vanity table w/chair. Came in useful while I was getting ready for my friend's wedding being held at nearby Normanton church. The room boasted the lush view down the drive and across a field of sheep grazing. Very idyllic and peaceful. Our bathroom wasn't joined to our room but just a door away and again didn't disappoint. Colin took our breakfast order and were told we could pick a time for it to be served which suited us...perfect! Knowing we would be at the wedding reception until quite late there was no pressure put on us to be back early and were given a key to let ourselves in. What more could you want? We also had to call and delay the time of our breakfast being served which Colin and Sally kindly accomodated. There was so much choice for breakfast. I went with boiled egg and soldier's and got an added extra. Loved it! Sally was attentive throughout. All warm food was fresh and delicious. Most importantly we weren't made to feel rushed to finish up. Sally even cracked out her tablet to show pic's of weddings they had on their land. Bottom line Brocolli bottom is a home from home.

• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful Location and Wonderful Hospitality - We very much enjoyed our visit to Broccoli Bottom. I can't imagine a more delightful locale in a lush country with rolling hills, birds in the morning and grazing sheep. The owners were so friendly, interested and hospitable. I can't say enough about our experience. I would give a strong recommendation for Broccoli Bottom!
• Martyn (10/5): High quality accommodation - There is nothing to fault about this B&B, everything is worthy of praise. Clean throughout, comfortable, good breakfasts, friendly and welcoming staff. High standard of tasteful furnishing and decor. Note: self catering accommodation also available here.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice stay. Workers next door who made a bit of noise from 6am before they left for work. Rooms very cold so appreciated the extra heaters we were given.
• Linda f (10/5): Best at broccoli bottom - A lovely house, an old farm, in a village close to Rutland water. Comfortable room and large bathroom. Breakfast was lovely and sociable with other guests and the hosts. Highly recommended
• Kate (10/5): Great hospitality - We rang to see if we could get there earlier than planned and the owners put themselves out to get back and let us in. They are an extremely hospitable couple. Although the twin room was not ensuite, we were given towelling robes and the large nearby bathroom was for our own use, both the bedroom and bathroom were well equipped. The setting is tranquil and rural, a great night's sleep on comfortable beds. House is down a long private drive, parking outside the house is very easy. I will try to get round to sending them a jar of dijon mustard.....!
• mel (10/5): Lovely hosts, beautiful room - A lovely time, beautiful room, great hosts, a very pleasurable stay.
• julian (10/5): - Very welcoming and a beautiful place. Superb hosts.
• Gabor (10/5): Lovely B&B close to Rutland Water - Lovely accommodation in idyllic setting, beautifully maintained and relaxed informal atmosphere. Sally and Colin were very welcoming and helpful hosts, even rang the local pub to book a table for us for dinner. Fabulous breakfast!
• Steven (10/5): Fabulous country retreat - We spent just the one night at Broccoli Bottom but loved it. We were made so welcome and looked after beautifully. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. More importantly, they were very accommodating of our large vintage Rolls-Royce which they allowed us to park in the stable yard so I could set about cleaning it in the morning without disturbing other guests. In a lovely location and not far from Stamford. It was £25 each way in a taxi to Stamford in the evening.
