The BEST organised place I’ve ever stayed at!

Every detail of this house is perfect! From the details sent before our arrival, to the greeting, to the basket in the bathroom (just in case you’ve forgotten anything). Every little detail has been carefully thought through. This made our stay feel like home from home. Loved it!

A really excellent find

This is probably one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in, Jennifer has thought of everything you could need as a family, especially small children, to have a really relaxing stay. There is a fantastic kitchen with access onto a secure garden, loads of crockery and cooking equipment. The bedrooms are large and airy with very comfortable beds and the downstairs bathroom is modern and spacious. We had lots of family over to visit and all the children had a wonderful time playing with the outdoor sit on toy tractors and the garden has ample seating for adults. We also took our dog and found the utility room handy for all the walking boots etc, the child gate was especially useful for securing our dog when there was too much food around. We didn't stay long enough to really enjoy the countryside but Stamford and Oakham are wonderful towns so the location is really great. Apart from our noisy family it was really peaceful. We found having Jennifer nearby very helpful and would love to stay again.

First class accomodation, location and hosts

Moo Cow Cottage is such a wonderful place to stay. The cottage is located on a working farm which means a lovely, tranquil setting. It is beautifully appointed with everything and more than we could have asked for. All of the facilities are listed so little point in running through them again but one of the big things for us was the secure garden which was fabulous for out two dogs. Considering that the cottage is on a working farm, there was surprisingly very little noise or anything else to disturb your stay. The hosts are extremely friendly and are on the end of a phone or text message if you need anything, otherwise you’re afforded plenty of peace and privacy. An excellent road network means that you can use the cottage as a base for visiting local attractions with e.g. Peterborough about half an hour by car away and a visit to Tesco in Oakham took us about twenty minutes each way. Morkery Wood is next door to the farm and provides safe and quiet dog walking or a place for a gentle stroll. We loved this place and would return without hesitation and cannot praise it enough.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

I live on Stocken Hall Farm with my husband and 3 teenage sons. I was born and raised on a farm in Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, we moved to Rutland in 2008.
In addition to running the holiday cottage I manage the office on the farm and help on the farm when needed so I'm often seen in a pair of wellies.

Why they chose this property

This cottage will provide a home from home setting. The cottage is set back from the road on a private driveway so despite it's convenient proximity to the A1 there is no issue of being disturbed by passing traffic.
The interior décor, pictures and furniture have been carefully chosen and the 'look' is cozy, homely & country farm cottage. Guests will be made to feel welcome when they arrive with a hamper including tea, coffee and cake/biscuits.
I regret this property would not be suitable for a wheel chair.

What makes this property unique

Large fenced garden, beautiful countryside with plenty of walking areas.
Open fire in lounge is lovely in the winter months and the patio and barbecue is a bonus in the summer for outside dining.
