Very nice spacious annexe suitable for a couple. Super comfortable large bed. Nice powerful shower. Great views from the property windows over rural Rutland/Leicestershire. Many lovely and quaint villages and towns in the vicinity, in many ways resembling the Cotswolds without the traffic and expense. Also well located for visitors of country houses/estates. In addition, I enjoyed cycling through the local lanes. Other than a short supply of cutlery in the kitchen, difficult to fault
