Halliday’s Cottages are in the centre of the pretty village of Greetham in Rutland and are perfectly situated to enjoy village life, country walks from the doorstep and experiencing everything Rutland has to offer. There are two pubs in the village (one rated in the top 50 gastropubs in the UK), both serving great food (booking is recommended).
The Cottage is a beautiful open plan studio with a cosy nook for the bedroom, well equipped handmade kitchen and dining space and a living area to relax in. It also enjoys an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of something after a day’s exploring. The Folly (UK40486) is a Grade II listed property previously owned and built by the local stonemason. You can see all his handiwork both inside and outside of the property! The Folly boasts 2 bedrooms both with their own en-suite facilities, separate living room with sofa bed and downstairs shower room and kitchen diner with handmade units. With an outdoor seating area in front of the property, you can admire the building whilst eating a sumptuous meal together. Both properties can interconnect.
A few minutes’ drive will take you to Rutland Water and is a great day out for everyone. For the adrenaline seekers, have a go at sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, golf, mini golf, cycling and rock climbing, or for the more sedate, there are many walks, great places for fishing, or spotting the local birds from the bird watching centre. Hambleton Bakery is close by and definitely worth a visit, as in Barnsdale Gardens which is just beautiful. The market towns of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford are close by and they all have a range of shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants. There is so much more to discover with lots of castles and stately homes in the area, including Burghley House, which is famous for its international horse trials, 14 miles away. Belton House 16 miles, Belvoir Castle 20 miles, Rockingham Castle 18 miles, Grimsthorpe Castle 15 miles and Elton Hall 20 miles all within driving distance.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 8 guests.
