Short Break

We booked for just two nights as we wanted to be in the area following a 65th Birthday party after which son, girlfriend and dog were joining us. The location and property was ideal for our needs. Spacious and good outdoor space for the dog with walks nearby. Whilst close to the A1 for travelling, you were not aware it was so close as no road noise. Excellent restaurant also very close. We would certainly go again and thank you to Gill for her help and friendliness.

Lovely property

Beautifully clean , excelently equipped, beds very comfortable, nice welcome tray and milk in the fridge very thoughtful.. Our arrival was delayed because of a road traffic accident and sadly I didn't have telephone contact details for our host so I couldn't let her know but she was very inderstanding when we arrived.

Quite week

Very close to Rutland water. Loads to do at Rutland. Rural location only accessable by car. The owner kindly let us charge the car at the house (we worked out and paid for the electricity used). I was pleased to find there is a freezer in the kitchen. There were lots of kitchen utensils which made cooking easy.

Cosy & spotless

The property is easy to find just off the A1 ideally placed for visiting Rutland Water, Burghley House, Oakham etc. We arrived around 6pm, the heating was on, the cottage was immaculately clean and had all you needed for a very comfortable stay. Gill the host checked we were Ok and was available if we had any issues, we didnt. The cottage is also next door to the Jackson Stops Inn who do very good food. I thoroughly recommend Pantiles Cottage and would stay again

Perfect for our needs

We picked the cottage for location, accommodation and price. We had a two night break either side of a funeral. Would certainly consider again in happier circumstances. We were unfortunately not able to sample the menu at pub next door due to timing, perhaps next time! Thank you Gill.

Perfect for Rutland water

We stayed as two couples, the place provided plenty of space for us, and the two en-suites were great to have our own privacy. Large kitchen and social areas. We greatly enjoyed the games that are there to use, nice touch. Great stay.

A return visit, as good as the last time.

A lovely property with everything we could need. Great hosts and welcoming. The location is excellent for our requirements with a great dog walking/ nature field just a couple of hundred metres away. Will definitely return next year if available.

Easter cycling break

This was an ideal location for meeting up with friends staying at Rutland Caravan Park for the Tandem Club Rally. The roads were very quite for cycling and the countryside was beautiful.

Pantiles Cottage with our friends from Wales

Pantiles Cottage was the perfect 'half-way house' to spend a lovely weekend with our friends from Wales. Everything about the cottage was exactly as we expected, and with a fantastic peaceful location right next door to a great Pub, we could not have been happier. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for the cottage and to Gill the owner for providing a wonderful holiday retreat. We are already planning on a return visit next year.

Great house in excellent location

A warm welcome from Gill kicked off our little break. The property is well described in the listing, everything we needed ( and more) was provided. The welcome pack is bursting with ideas for places to visit, walks to do as well as usual information about the house and the areas which are within easy reach. We were super comfortable, spending days out exploring and evenings in relaxing. We leave content and refreshed. Many thanks to Gill, a great host who left us to get on with it but was reassuringly to hand should we need anything...we didn't because she had thought of everything!

Perfect short break with dog !

The cottage was better than we had hoped , certainly roomy and as clean as reviews had said. Very handy from the A1 We drive in to Cambridge for a great days exploring but hadn’t time to see more local sights on this occasion. Very helpful owners. Very useful tap and hose outside which was great for the very muddy dog and our boots. Milk was handy too

About the host

Hosted by Gill Harker

Host profile image
Greg and I have lived in Stretton for almost 5 years. It's a small, friendly village with a 12th century church and a well respected and popular Country Inn.
After 40 years of moving around with the RAF, it is a relief to finally be able to settle down and relax!

Why they chose this property

Our house and Cottage were originally a farm which was converted into dwellings in the 1980s.
It's in a prime position, being close to the A1, in between the market towns of Oakam and Stamford, and only 5 miles from Rutland Water.
About 400 meters away is George Henry Wood, a large enclosed area ideal for dog walking, and Stretton Lakes with it's coarse fishing half a mile away.

What makes this property unique

We live on site, and are available to help whenever needed. Excellent broadband signal and free Wifi.
