It is convenient being near family and friends. We found this one the most comfortable and generally clean and tidy. It has a comfortable sofa and an armchair for my husband. There are plenty of eating places to go to nearby. We'd recommend Hambleton Bakery, Harbour cafe at Rutland water and Barnsdale Gardens. If you need all your accommodation on ground level, as we do, these lodges are perfect. It's nice and quiet and surrounded by shrubs and trees. Lots of birds around the property, Nuthatch, house and tree sparrows and rabbits.

the booking was easy, the instructions were clear, the entry was easy. The concerns we had was the amount of food that was left in a cupboard and a drawer from previous people. Also the dust generally that was floating around on the wooden floor and the bedside cabinets were also dusty on the top. This really is unacceptable. Having said this the property was nice and cosy and had a lovely comfy bed.

Brooke lodge was very clean and spacious for us and our dogs, although we had to put them on a lead every time we took them out as the site is open-plan. We were though warned about this so not a surprise. Access to Rutland water is great, a ten minute walk. Oakham is about 3 miles away with shops and takeaways. Throughly recommended.
