Thatched cottage, remote getaway

A lovely cottage, rustic but comfortable. A quiet small village but I like that. Sheep for neighbours, but the lovely Rutland Water 5 miles drive away, with bird watching and cycling and walking trails. 17 miles round the water and 2 bird reserves.
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023
