About this property
Family and Dog Friendly 3 bedroom holiday Cottage near Oakham & Rutland Water
Moo Cow Cottage is a charming two Story Farm Cottage located in a beautiful countryside location on Stocken Hall Farm, near the village of Stretton.
This delightful cottage has a large secure garden and a secure parking area for multiple vehicles.
The Cottage has lots of extra touches for the whole family with a well equipped kitchen, travel cot, highchair, bathroom stool and stair gate so coming here with a young family is like home from home.
🏡 The cottage is set back from the road on a private driveway so despite its convenient proximity to the A1 which is 5 mins by car there is no issue of being disturbed by passing traffic.
🛏️ This delightful cottage sleeps 6 people over 3 bedrooms, with 2 king sized bedrooms and a bedroom with 2 single beds. There are provisions to put up an extra air bed or provide a travel cot if required.
🧺 The laundry room is in one of the outbuildings and has a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a large clothes line outside.
SUPERFAST Wi-Fi is available throughout the cottage and there is a 42 inch smart T.V in lounge.
📻 Radio available in the kitchen.
🏡 The large garden is completely fenced and secure with a concrete back yard which is ideal for the little ones to pedal the ride on tractors and keep amused whilst adults can relax on the patio or get cooking on the barbecue.
🥅 ⚽️ We have football goals and football in the garden for young and older to have a kick about.
💦 ⛵️ Rutland Water is just 20 mins drive and offers sailing, fishing, walks and cycle hire with the new Aqua Park inflatables for fun activities.
⛳️ Greetham Valley Golf Course driving range and Archery is just 10 mins by car.
📍 Local towns are Oakham, Stamford, Grantham and Melton Mowbray and nearest city is Peterborough which is 40 mins by car.
Other things to note
There is only one bathroom in the property and it is on ground floor.
I regret that the cottage does not have wheelchair access.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
I live on Stocken Hall Farm with my husband and 3 teenage sons. I was born and raised on a farm in Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, we moved to Rutland in 2008.
In addition to running the holiday cottage I manage the office on the farm and help on the farm when needed so I'm often seen in a pair of wellies.

Why they chose this property
This cottage will provide a home from home setting. The cottage is set back from the road on a private driveway so despite it's convenient proximity to the A1 there is no issue of being disturbed by passing traffic.
The interior décor, pictures and furniture have been carefully chosen and the 'look' is cozy, homely & country farm cottage. Guests will be made to feel welcome when they arrive with a hamper including tea, coffee and cake/biscuits.
I regret this property would not be suitable for a wheel chair.

What makes this property unique
Large fenced garden, beautiful countryside with plenty of walking areas.
Open fire in lounge is lovely in the winter months and the patio and barbecue is a bonus in the summer for outside dining.
