Beautiful, relaxing forest hideaway: warming log fires prepared for you, homemade bread, jams, honey from Tim & Linda's bees & their own hens eggs too in a very well equipped self contained luxury B&B. …

I stayed at the cottage as a self-contained B&B and was delighted with it. The place is utterly charming, spotless and I felt very safe staying alone with the gated entrance. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable too. …

Excellent hospitality and rooms. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room to stretch out and play cards in the drawing room. Breakfast was delicious and really enjoyed our walk in the gardens. Appreciated how close it was to the park and certainly enjoyed the deer. Thanks again!

Hands down one of the most memorable stays for us - ever. The owners, Linda and Tim, were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. They made sure everyone was well taken care of. The BnB has a unique charm to it and the rooms were very very lovely. The cottage is located next to the Bradgate park, a wonderful place to take a stroll. The cottage also has a cute garden attached to it - amazing place to have a meal. If you’re looking for a city getaway or am visiting the area, I would highly, highly recommend staying here. Our only regret is only spending one night here!
