Fabulous, quirky cottage. Everything you could want for a break near Rutland Water, which is in walking distance. The hosts have thought of everything from lots of fluffy towels to a freshly baked loaf of bread to go with the pots of homemade preserves.

We had a wonderful stay at Primrose Hall in November. This is a beautifully restored and very well appointed home in a lovely area of Rutland. Close to all the amenities and beauty that Rutland Water and surrounding villages has to offer, our hosts Dale and Helen put the icing on the cake with their warm welcome and help for our elderly Labrador during our stay. Some lovely touches of bread, milk, eggs, logs for the fire and all essentials to welcome us and we were set for a cosy, relaxing time. Scrupulously clean, lovely comfortable bed and inviting surroundings. We couldn't ask for more! Cannot recommend highly enough- thank you again.

The cottage is very comfortable with all the conveniences anyone could need for a pleasant stay. Lots of lovely period features in this historical building. A very pleasant surprise was the lovely groceries at arrival. Dale and Helen were lovely hosts.

Communication with Dale and Helen was excellent from start to finish. Primrose Hall was even better than the pictures suggested with plenty of room for four adults, a baby and a small dog! It is a beautiful and stylish renovation with countless lovely touches. And to cap it all, we entered to the smell of a freshly baked homemade loaf left for us with other essentials. Really thoughtful. And Empingham itself and the surrounding area is a delight. A perfect few days. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Dale and Helen.

Wow what a lovely holiday cottage a real home from home. The hosts were great and the smell of welcoming bread was lovely.

This is a superbly renovated and maintained cottage that sits close to Rutland Water in a pretty village and beautifully reflects the architecture of the area. The hosts, Dale and Helen, have thought of pretty much every guest's needs and catered to them; from the ready to light wood burner to the welcome pack and copious information about local amenities and facilities. Quite simply, we'll be back and for longer!

The cottage is wonderful restored and was exactly what is promised in the pictures. The hosts were just as nice. Starting from the cottage you find some nice footpaths or reach famous cities like Nottingham, Manchester or York within max 2 hours.

Beautiful cottage with charm and personality. Spotlessly clean, catering for all your needs (and your dog). The warm welcome of smelling of fresh bread on arrival. Lovely country walks from the doorstep.

Had a great time at primrose hall, beautifully finished cottage with wonderful period features.Dale was a great host and the welcome basket was a lovely touch thanks again and see you soon.

This historic cottage is ideal for a visit to Rutland. It is beautifully furnished, comfortable, spotlessly clean and close to Rutland Water. When we arrived there was a freshly baked loaf and other supplies which were much appreciated. I would recommend this cottage ,definitely 5 star!

We had a lovely short break. The village was beautiful and the cottage had everything we needed. The smell of freshly baked bread when we arrived was a lovely touch. Dale was also kind enough to bring us some extra logs for the fire to make our stay even more cosy. Can't fault this property at all, it was a pleasure to stay and Dale made us feel very welcome. Thank you for having us.

This property was perfect in every way and location was on the doorstep of Rutland Water. Dale was a great host, made us feel welcome and was on hand if needed (which we didn’t as everything and more was provided!).

Beautifullly furnished barn conversion - contained everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay

Excellent, clean , lots of extras and good information about surrounding area . Host helpful .

we all thought the cottage was amazing we had everything that we needed and it was all very comfortable and clean. We would like to go back again.

Had a lovely few days away in this well equipped cottage. Great location in the centre of the village. Enjoyed the home made bread and jams, and eggs provided by the owner

The cosy cottage was a delight to stay in. The hosts were attentive and even looked out an old OS map for us! Great walking routes nearby, and conveniently close to Rutland Water. We’ll be staying here again.

No problems at all renting this property

The property is much more spacious than the outside of the building suggests, and like the Tardis, you have a real time travel experience exploring the history of this unique property. It really is a lovely place in a fantastic location.

The perfect bolt hole to write and cycle. Packed with everything you would probably have in your home, and plenty of books, games and TV for fireside evenings . The house is on the village road, so early morning cars were a slight disturbance, but being in the middle of the village an advantage. Very spacious property and friendly owners nearby. Would recommend

Great location for exploring Rutland water and the surrounding country. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay 😊

Charming, well presented, everything provided. A real home from home. No real outside space for dogs, but so many places to walk them. A little gem

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what is a really lovely charming little cottage very close to Rutland Water very well equipped and enjoyed our short stay hope to come again in the not so distant future.
