This is a really lovely property, lots of space with an excellent, very well equiped, kitchen leading on to a big secure garden. we were a three generation family with a dog and the space worked brilliantly. We entertained family and had lots of children visit, the garden toys and sit on tractors where a huge success. I can honestly say we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
Jennifer is so helpful and made us feel completely at home, the cottage has lots of nice touches and the bedrooms are all spacious and airy.
The location is great for visiting Stamford and Oakham, but wonderfully quite and peaceful, the children loved seeing the cows in the field opposite and there are very nice walks near by.

Every detail of this house is perfect! From the details sent before our arrival, to the greeting, to the basket in the bathroom (just in case you’ve forgotten anything). Every little detail has been carefully thought through. This made our stay feel like home from home. Loved it!

This is probably one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in, Jennifer has thought of everything you could need as a family, especially small children, to have a really relaxing stay. There is a fantastic kitchen with access onto a secure garden, loads of crockery and cooking equipment. The bedrooms are large and airy with very comfortable beds and the downstairs bathroom is modern and spacious. We had lots of family over to visit and all the children had a wonderful time playing with the outdoor sit on toy tractors and the garden has ample seating for adults. We also took our dog and found the utility room handy for all the walking boots etc, the child gate was especially useful for securing our dog when there was too much food around.
We didn't stay long enough to really enjoy the countryside but Stamford and Oakham are wonderful towns so the location is really great. Apart from our noisy family it was really peaceful. We found having Jennifer nearby very helpful and would love to stay again.

Moo Cow Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The cottage is located on a working farm which means a lovely, tranquil setting. It is beautifully appointed with everything and more than we could have asked for. All of the facilities are listed so little point in running through them again but one of the big things for us was the secure garden which was fabulous for out two dogs.
Considering that the cottage is on a working farm, there was surprisingly very little noise or anything else to disturb your stay. The hosts are extremely friendly and are on the end of a phone or text message if you need anything, otherwise you’re afforded plenty of peace and privacy.
An excellent road network means that you can use the cottage as a base for visiting local attractions with e.g. Peterborough about half an hour by car away and a visit to Tesco in Oakham took us about twenty minutes each way. Morkery Wood is next door to the farm and provides safe and quiet dog walking or a place for a gentle stroll.
We loved this place and would return without hesitation and cannot praise it enough.

Lovely short break at Moo Cow Cottage
Jennifer was a great host. Helped with any questions we had and made us feel very welcome.
The cottage is perfect for a young family, like ours. Toys, plastic cutlery, plastic plates & bowls, step for bathroom, travel cot and outside toys in a secure garden.
Visited Twin lakes, Sacrewell farm and Ferneley’s and had a brilliant time, so plenty to keep little ones happy near by.

Home away from home
So many details thought of and provided by Jennifer. She was a fantastic host and provided us not only with a beautiful home but also a whole heap of activity ideas for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to be back again soon!

Wonderful family stay
Cottage is beautiful and private on a lovely farm. Children loved the added extras of the inside and outside toys and visiting the animals each day to say hello to the cows and ducks. Everything we needed was provided for us and we had a wonderful time. Jennifer is a fantastic host and even baked us a delicious chocolate cake for our stay!! Can’t recommend highly enough we shall definitely hope to visit again in the future.

Wonderfully clean, spacious and attractive accommodation - great location and host.
Moo Cow Cottage is a perfect holiday let. Beautiful location with views overlooking farmland and expansive woodland. Very quiet apart from countryside animals and the occasional tractor - really idyllic setting. Jennifer was extremely welcoming and left us a chocolate cake on arrival. Nothing too much trouble and the cottage was immaculately clean and fresh. Huge beds with fresh crisp linen and a massive kitchen with everything you need if you fancy cooking from scratch. Would highly recommend a stay and we will be back!

RUTLAND'S RURAL RETREAT
Moo Cow Cottage proved ideal for our short autumn stay during which we were able to visit relatives nearby without interrupting their routines, enjoy a return to the countryside I remember from my youth and give our daughters and grandchildren a wonderful day on the Nene Valley Railway - one of several possible outings available from here. Everything was ready for us when we arrived including the delicious home-made chocolate cake. Thank you Jennifer for your warm welcome and readiness to answer any questions. We wholeheartedly recommend the "MCC" as a great place from which to explore Rutland and Lincolnshire.
