• "A beautifully appointed cottage with a wonderful host."

  Beautifully clean and I enjoyed a delightfully relaxing week here. Would definitely book again. The cottage is in a quiet area but with excellent local amenities within a very short distance.

• "My wife and I had a great weeks holiday at Manor Farm Cottage."

  It was an ideal hub for our exploration of this lovely, and historic part of England. The cottage was clean, warm and very comfortable, and had everything needed to make our stay a home from home. We would also like to thank our hosts for the generous welcome basket, it was very much appreciated. As always the question is, would we stay at Manor Farm Cottage again ? Most definitely and without hesitation, YES !

• "Lovely cottage, immaculate, comfortable and well-equipped."

  Great location, lots of beautiful and varied countryside to explore. The owners (and their cat) were very nice. They were communicative, helpful, not at all intrusive and went above and beyond. The welcome basket was very generous and the information pack provided us with an excellent local fish and chip shop! Would definitely book again when and if I return to the area.

  The information provided by Helen before we came away was excellent and made it easy to settle in. The welcome basket was a very thoughtful extra. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we hope to return very soon.

• "A really lovely cottage with excellent level of comfort, facilities and provisions."

  Helen, hostess, was superb offering many extra implements when I had a dinner party; she went the extra mile and was lovely. Publicity should warn that due to age of building stairs are very steep,bath sides high and ceilings low- a challenge to old, tall folk with arthritis. But well worth the challenge!

  It was lovely to meet you both and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We do just need to say however, for future guests looking to book, that the staircase in the cottage is the standard depth and height that one would find in any home, and the bath was only purchased 4 years ago from a reputable bathroom store; it's sides are no higher than regular baths. The doorway and ceiling of the sitting room is lower than average and that is due to the age of the property. We usually find our taller guests (I'm 5ft 9in and don't have to duck) understand, and even expect, to find a lower ceiling in a stone cottage of it's age. We've never had feedback regarding any of these issues before. Property Owner

• "As we promised 2 years ago, we came back and stayed at this most wonderful cottage for a second time."

  And it was just as perfect as it was the first time! Lovely hosts, immaculately presented, equipped to a very high standard- all that we could ask for and more!

• "Despite the traffic noise (which we got used to after 3/4 days) this was an excellent cottage and we had a very good holiday."

  The owners were charming and there was an excellent welcome pack. No problems at all and the Wi-Fi (very important to us Geocachers) was excellent.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback and it was so nice to meet you both. Unfortunately there was a slightly higher traffic volume during your visit, as local roadworks had diverted traffic through our little village that week. But, it is great to hear that it didn’t change your holiday experience in any way at all and that you had a lovely stay. Please come back anytime. xx Property Owner

  The cottage was clean comfortable and welcoming. We were able to visit family and friends and have days out in the interesting towns of Uppingham and Market Harborough as well as enjoying walks in the local area.

• "The cottage is beautifully appointed, feels cosy, yet light and airy and a relaxing and restful feel to it."

  It is luxuriously and tastefully decorated with many thoughtful touches from the owner such as the welcome basket of food, flowers and magazines. It was a total pleasure to stay there and really made our week memorable. Beautiful walks nearby to the river Nene and is very centrally placed for visiting different areas.

• "Should mention not suitable for disabled ,,,,,,owners made every effort to accomodate disabled needs."

  ....

  Sadly we were not informed of any disabilities / access needs in advance of arrival by these guests, even though we had chatted to them many times prior to arrival day. If we had been told, then we would have definitely advised against booking with us as our property is a lovely, turn-of-the-century, 2 bed stone cottage with a staircase. However, we did our very best to accommodate and welcome all 4 guests who stayed for the full week. Property Owner

  We spent a few days at the cottage during christmas holidays, the cottage & grounds had superb festive decorations. Helen, our host, went beyond what is expected to make our stay as comfortable as possible. There are lovely walks on the doorstep, we also did some day trips To Warwick & Cambridge which were enjoyable. Overall, fantastic cottage stay with an amazing host!

• "Manor Farm House Cottage had everything we needed for an excellent holiday in a part of the country that was new to us."

  The cottage was very comfortable with some nice little touches and the welcome from Helen, the owner, was very friendly. We were intending to do some walking and actually ended up walking every day. Most of those days we walked from the cottage without having to drive which was a real bonus. The area is just so interesting for walking with lots of little lakes and mainly well marked footpaths. Defintely recommend both the area and the cottage. We'll be back!

• "We very much enjoyed are stay at Manor Farm Cottage."

  Helen, the owner, contacted me prior to our arrival date to welcome us and to ensure we had her telephone number for if we needed anything. Upon our arrival the cottage was warm and welcoming. It has everything you need and is very comfortable and well planned out. The kitchen is well equipped and all the crockery and cutlery are very clean and tidy, so we felt safe in these covid times. We especially liked the lovely hand washes and room sprays, they were divine. Helen was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is well situated and there are plenty of places to visit within 20 to 30 mins drive such as Oundle, Rutland Water, St Neots and for anyone wanting some retail therapy try Rushden Lakes shopping park.

• "Helen went the extra mile to make sure that we felt welcome, even putting in some toys for the kids to play with."

  The welcome basket was a lovely surprise too. It’s a lovely cottage, really nicely decorated and feels very homely. Lots to explore in the local area. In terms of improvement areas, we didn’t find the sofa that comfortable, but I guess that’s because it’s a sofa-bed. Also, a doormat would be really helpful for muddy shoes! Would stay again! Thanks

  Thank you for your feedback and comments. There is now a brand new three piece suite (no longer a sofa bed) in the cottage, and we’ve added a doormat!! Property Owner

• "The Guest information pack was very useful and a great idea."

  The cottage was clean, comfortable, modern décor and warm with good control over the heating. Extra little touches and the welcome pack were greatly appreciated - this is the first cottage (self catered for over 30 years) that provided extra toiletries if you needed them and paid to a honesty box, another brilliant idea in case you forget or need something at short notice. We stayed at the cottage to meet up with friends in the area so we will without doubt stay here again and recommend to others.

• "The cottage has been furnished to a high standard and was perfect for us as a small family of 3."

  The only slight disappointment was the lack of a proper shower (only an attachment to the bath taps), however due to the apex of the bathroom roof I can completely appreciate why there isn't one! Beds were both very comfortable, the kitchen was more than adequately equipped and other furnishings were good quality too. Helen was a lovely host and even provided a very helpful guide with local things to do in advance for us to plan our stay as well as placed some toys for our 3 year old son to enjoy within the cottage. You can also appreciate a number of thoughtful touches that she has made to the property with the soft linens, room fresheners and premium hand soaps etc too. The cottage is in a great location for exploring the numerous country parks in the area. All that we visited were lovely (Barnwell, Irchester, Rushden Lakes (with shopping village) and Stanwick Lakes) and within a short drive. Woburn Safari is also reasonably close and Wicksteed Park is a fun day out too. Whilst the cottage us in a quiet village location, the small towns of Raunds and Thrapston are both within a 5 minute drive in either direction and each have a number of good dining options, takeaways and supermarkets that are easily accessible. We would definitely recommend it and would consider staying again too.

• "The cottage and its location are lovely."

  Whilst it is well-equipped and comfortable, it only has a very small external seating area outside the front door, due to its proximity to the driveway approach. It would definitely benefit from a larger terrace (perhaps cut into the bank on the opposing flank of the cottage) for family meals and barbecues. That said, Nataliya visiting from Russia, loved her stay, enjoying the nearby country walks and exploring the surrounding historic villages and towns.

  Thank you for your comments. Since your last visit we have invested in building a new seating/patio area behind the cottage for our guests to enjoy. Property Owner
