An amazing property with a wonderful location close to Rutland Water. Every inch of space is put to good use. Beautifully decorated throughout and everything you may need is provided and all of a good quality. It is small, particularly upstairs, but I’m 5 foot so not an issue for me! The additional downstairs shower room is a bonus. The under floor heating was very efficient. Thank you Alison (who popped by to check everything was ok), a great stay.

The property was perfectly kept and situated for a nice peaceful break. Everything was provided and of excellent quality. Alison, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property.

Our stay was very relaxing in a very clean and well maintained property we don’t have any negatives about the property. We would highly recommend it if anybody asks

Very last minute booking on our behalf but Alison was prompt with a reply and was able to accommodate us with less than 24 hours notice so that we could get away for the weekend. Very well designed and immaculate accommodation that was more than comfortable for 2 adults and both a 9 and 13 year old. Open plan compact design of kitchen, diner and couch area with bi-folds doors to enjoy the open space. 2 bathrooms was a bonus and well equipped for what we needed for our short break. Well located for a short drive to Rutland water and the footpath beside the accommodation allowed us to enjoy approx. 15 minute walk across the fields to the reservoir which was bonus. Great cooked breakfast at the Harbor Café and walking distance to the White Horse pub was a great find for dinner - the pizzas were amazing. Bike hire easy from Rutland Cycles (although perhaps a little steep at £101 for 4 bikes - that needed maintenance) and the boat ride across the reservoir was enjoyable too. 10 minute drive into Stamford is great for shopping and food outlets and 45 minute drive to Leicester was a bonus to enjoy the National Space Centre on our last day. Would definitely return and recommend for all, great little find.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at Pibbles Nook. Alison was doing some gardening when we arrived and gave us a very warm welcome. It is clear from the cottage and the surrounding gardens that Alison and her husband take great pride in what they do. The cottage was beautiful; spotlessly clean and very well equipped with good quality furniture and fittings. I would certainly recommend the property to others and stay there again myself if I get the chance. Very well situated for Rutland water and other attractions.

What a find! A wonderful peaceful setting which is a short walk from Rutland water. The cottage is stylishly furnished with quality furnishings, beautiful cotton bedding and fresh flowers from the hosts' garden. A second armchair would have been nice but there are plenty of wooden chairs for sitting at the dining table and a couple more at the breakfast island. Alison and Kenneth gave us a warm welcome and said that should we need anything that we should just let them know. We stayed for a long weekend but all said that we wished we could have had a few more days.

Pibbles Nook had everything we needed for a very restful birthday get away.

Excellent location for access to Rutland Water and surrounding area. Lovely accommodation - comfortable and stylish and a much appreciated welcome with local eggs, rolls, jam and fruit . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Easy and efficient progress would definitely book again.

We enjoyed our stay, great location, nice and clean with everything you need.

Very charming cottage, in a quaint village. It was quite welcoming, and the owners were available if any concerns.

Really quiet situation in owners’ grounds with easy access to Rutland Water on foot or bike. Small but beautiful with comfort, excellent equipment and facilities obviously considered in detail by the owners. A welcome package of bread, fruit and eggs was provided on arrival and with addition of flowers, which was much appreciated. Thank you to Alison and Ken for sharing their lovely property and helping our stay be a memorable one.

Excellent experience well appointed and in a great position. Will definitely come back when in Rutland again.

Very clean and well-equipped - everything of good quality. Cosy and comfortable. Good location within walking distance of Rutland Water. Very friendly hosts. Would highly recommend.

Top quality near Rutland waters and lovely towns Stamford and Oakham.

Stayed as a family of 4. Cosy. Very well appointed but those over 6ft may find the upstairs short on headroom thanks to the eaves! Spotlessly clean with some stylish features. Overall v comfortable and warm. Disappointed the advertised welcome pack wasn’t provided due to Covid but owners were quick to respond when queried.

The property was well kitted out and provided us with a luxurious break as we explored the local villages and towns over the autumn break. The hosts were both friendly and made sure we settled in okay. There was a local Bridal path right along side the house and plenty of things to do around Rutland.

A perfect location for our first trip to Rutland Water and surroundings villages. A top quality rental throughout with very accommodating owners. Would be very happy to return.

Stayed at Pibbles Nook for a weekend fishing on Rutland Water with an old friend. The cottage was perfect for us: very modern and clean, great kitchen facilities, modern bathrooms, comfy beds, easy parking, very friendly owners next door and a pub 200 yards up the road. An additional armchair in the lounge would be my only suggestion for improvement, otherwise perfect! It was great value for money too.

A small but perfectly formed property and great for myself and my step father. A well designed conversion with good quality fixtures and fittings. The two shower rooms were important for us and were spotless with plenty of hot water and good sized towels. The property is in a good spot for exploring Rutland and the surrounding area. There are walks nearby but also a short drive to the water and the surrounding towns with access to a number of places to visit. Alison was very welcoming and helpful and all the essentials for your stay are provided, you don’t need to worry about washing up liquid and bin bags ! The fresh flowers in the vase were a lovely bonus. Thank you Alison.

Lovely property prepared to a very high standard. All furniture and fixtures are very nice and the property itself is a lovely place to stay - it has everything you need. It's a15min walk to Rutland Water and the property is only 20 mins drive from either Oakham and Stamford. We really loved the property and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again next time we are in the area.

Very clean and well equipped small cottage ideally placed for visiting Burghley House, Barnsdale Gardens, Stamford and Oakham and walking distance to Rutland Water. Very friendly and helpful hosts, ideal for a short stay in Rutland.
