We had a wonderful time… I made an error just before staying and Sally was so patient about it… I would definitely recommend Carrot Cottage.

A perfect little gem
This place is what all b & b's should be like, really nice attentive staff, even a resident dog, the famous teddy, who came to see us every day. Parking for the car, very quiet apartment, we had the 'carrot' and it was superb.

About the host
Hosted by Host
We a small team at Broccoli Bottom......myself (Sally Udale), the housekeeper Amanda Reid, our domestic helper Carolyn, my mother in law Mary who helps out and of course our lovely dog Teddy. He is a cockerdor but we call him cockeradorable! He is very child friendly and just loves to potter about!
Everyone asks where the name Broccoli Bottom comes from......it’s very simple.....we are very silly people!! We just want to offer clean comfortable accommodation in pretty surroundings at a competitive price. We are very flexible and do all we can to make your stay an enjoyable one.
We welcome many family get togethers, fishing, rambling, cycling and sailing clubs. We offer privacy for guests whilst being together all on one site. Whilst close to amenities and situated in the heart of Rutland, Broccoli Bottom is very private and offers peace and quiet.
