Cottage holiday rentals in Oakham

Me and my girlfriend had such an amazing time at this place. We’ve had something similar in the past but this one takes the cake. Very private and has an amazing view. Close to the road so sometimes you’ll hear people walking past and cars. But at night you can sit in the hot tub and enjoy looking at the stars. In our case we saw a shooting star while sat in the hot tub. I would 100% suggest this to friends and come again.!!!! Thank you

Lovely place very peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

Check in was really simple and directions to find the place were spot on. Communication was excellent and we felt that we could contact the owners if we needed to. We had a lovely stay and would definitely consider stopping again if visiting the area in the future. The house smelt freshly cleaned when we arrived and was in a peaceful location. It was great to have a small selection of toiletries as well as coffee/tea provided - thank you. Bed linen and towels were clean and smelt lovely.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cottage retreat. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed. The setting is beautifully private—perfect for escaping the noise. We were greeted with a welcome package including snacks, a bottle of fizz, and clear instructions. It instantly made us feel at home. One highlight was the Jacuzzi—incredible! It was spotless and ready to go, with soft towels provided. We appreciated the natural shower products, which made the experience feel more luxurious. Communication with the hosts was easy. We were given a direct line and they responded quickly to any questions. The overall vibe of the place was calm and rejuvenating, a true hidden gem. It’s only about a 15-minute drive to nice local shops and restaurants, so you're not far from anything. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about our return. Highly recommend this cozy escape—we’ll definitely be back someday.

Very cosy, stylish and relaxing place to stay - lovely views, great pub 5 mins walk away and lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home and very hospitable hosts!

Excellent host very responsive and friendly. Beautifully clean property looked just like the photos. Very friendly animals! Would definitely recommend.

Karen & her husband were fantastic hosts. Both were really friendly & were able to recommend really nice places to visit & to eat. The Green Man which was recommended was fab & we got 10% off the meals with a card that was in the place that we stopped. The Hot Tub was fantastic & enclosed so was very private. The place was really clean, comfortable & lovely to stop in for our weekend away. Lincoln was only a short drive away. North Hykeham had a Co-op for grabbing essentials which was a 3 min drive. Karen gave precise & clear instructions for finding their lovely little place prior to coming & check in was super easy. Key code was provided & we was in. When we arrived, there was a lemon cake waiting for us, milk, coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, ceareals for a day, a loaf of fresh bread, butter & jam. Such a lovely surprise & wasn't expected. Thank you for a really lovely weekend.

Fantastic stay in the wood shed, it’s so peaceful and the barn was exceptional. I will definitely stay again when back in the area.

We've just returned from a very relaxing few days at the Hideaway. It's a lovely location with amazing views, sitting on the balcony of a morning just listeing to the birds, seeinf the frogs in the pond & a visit from the cat next door. Corrie was on hand if we had any questions and recommended some amazing walks and areas to visit. Our dog even had her own towel and bowls, all provided by Corrie.

Fabulous and exactly as shown and described! Views were amazing and a gorgeous small pub next door where the staff were super friendly and helpful. Fantastic walks! Especially the arduous Bank Road into town!! Good for ones heart and legs! Great area to be and our home for the weekend was amazing! Loved it and would stay there again

We wanted somewhere to stay to show an old friend the Peak District. A lovely spot hidden away, almost totally silent apart from birdsong. Immaculately clean, well equipped and comfortable. Even friendly neighbours!

We had a lovely 2 nights stay! The property was so lovely, very quiet location. The owners are so kind and friendly! The dogs were also friendly. There wasn’t much around so we did have to drive but only about 10 minutes or so to find somewhere to eat! We both throughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi there, We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cottage and wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts and feedback. Firstly, I must say that the location is perfect for investigating the stunning beauty of the Peak District ! The picturesque views and serene surroundings made for a truly relaxing getaway. The cottage itself was cosy and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the decor really added to the charm and made it feel like a home away from home. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend your cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Thank you for providing such a lovely space for us to enjoy. I look forward to the possibility of returning in the future. Best regards, Steve & Tracy Clark

The character cottage had everything that we could have wished for, and Katrien was a wonderful responsive host. It's location & the town are absolutely beautiful, and it's only a few minutes walk into a town centre that takes you back in time, with its wide range of proper traditional shops & restaurants. 10/10!!

Great little find. Pub directly across the (quiet) road. I defy you to eat three courses! Amazing portions and good beer. The Airbnb is cosy and comfortable. The bed has a good mattress topper, so it's squishy but does tend to get very warm. The effective electric heating soon took the chill off when we arrived. The outside space is shaded for a lot of the day, but it is private with a table and chairs. All in all, a fair price for this Airbnb.

Somehow the little cottage is even better than the pictures! We LOVED our stay and plan on returning. Very quiet, peaceful, and cozy.

Beautiful apartment. Clean, tidy and spacious and I loved the little touch of the biscuits that were left for me. Would happily visit again

We would have loved to stay longer in this elegant, historic but fully modernized rural retreat. By some quirk of Airbnb booking we got it for one night only but it was like coming home. The garden alone made our short stay enchanting. It could not have been better.

We (family of 4) had a wonderful stay at the property. The house is absolutely amazing, it has absolutely anything one might need and some extra. The location extremely convenient in Oakham. The hosts are extremely nice!

Very walkable location! We stayed here because of chatsworth house and kept saying how much we love the area! The kitchen was stocked with essentials. The stairs were a little steep but nothing we couldn’t handle with a little bit of caution and the railing. Absolutely lovely stay! Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at Marianna and Jon’s place! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Marianna was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout. The check-in process was smooth, and the location was perfect for what we needed. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

John is a very good host with useful tips and good company together with Judiith. The cottage is lovely and the garden is absolutely stunning. Well-situated in the Peak District.

Honestly the best airbnb i’ve stayed in. We felt right at home, had a fabulous time, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The bed is really comfy, the bathroom is a bit awkward for taller people but it just adds to the charm of the cottage. We will definitely be staying there again.
