1 Bed in Exton (oc-e42799) | Cottage in Exton

Experience a romantic retreat in Rutland, staying in this unusual gatehouse at the entrance to a rural estate. Quirky but also comfortable, it’s got everything a couple needs to have a memorable break in this pretty part of the world. Starting with Rutland Water (4 miles), a lake built as a reservoir in the 1970s. St Matthew’s Church, Normanton, still sits right at the water’s edge. The lake is now home to lots of birdlife, with walks, cycling, angling and water sports. The Georgian centre of Stamford is worth a visit, with lots of eateries and shops, plus splendid architecture of honey-coloured stone. Stroll across the Meadows – a series of fields by the bucolic river. On the outskirts of the town is 16th-century Burghley House, still a family home but open to the public, along with its Capability Brown-designed grounds.
Start your gatehouse stay with a sense of grandeur as you drive down a picturesque track. You’ll spot this stone building, not least thanks to the proud stag on a plinth beside it. Admire the quaint architecture of this cosy bolthole before entering the hallway. To the right of this compact space is your comfortable lounge. Sink into the cosy sofa to watch the Smart TV, or admire the skyline view from the impressive, shuttered windows. Use the clever kitchenette that’s tucked away behind doors for light self-catering duties; you can eat outside in the garden or at the breakfast bar-style table. The bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath for soaking aching muscles, is conveniently located on the ground floor. At day’s end, head upstairs for the glorious double bedroom, complete with a Smart TV if you need to wind down.
As well as being surrounded by the greenery of the wider estate, you’ll have your own private garden with this characterful property. It’s fully enclosed, which is reassuring if you are travelling with a dog. In front of the property, there’s room for parking two cars, making loading and unloading and day trips a breeze.
