Broccoli Bottom

Stayed here for the weekend & enjoyed it immensely.The setting is idyllic,within walking distance to the local pub & around Rutland Water. Very friendly owner & nothing was too much trouble.Facilities in the cottage we’re great & we had everything we needed.The beds & bedding were lovely,comfortable & warm.We spent a lovely day in Stamford,had a cruise on the water & explored the farm shop & garden centre just up the road from Broccoli Bottom.Much needed rest & relaxation.

My husband and I took a last minute three day break to celebrate our 58th wedding anniversary staying in Lettuce Lodge studio. We couldn’t have chosen better. A beautiful clean, spacious cottage with a well equipped kitchen, massive very comfortable bed, good bathroom with an excellent shower and our own secluded west facing patio where we took in a few evening rays. Very convenient car parking outside the front door, adjacent to a couple of self catering apartments. Pots of well looked after plants and flowers added to our already happy vibes. A reasonably walkable trek to the nearest pub for a bite to eat, although we took the car as easy parking. Perfect place to visit the stunningly beautiful area with Rutland Water easily walkable. Plenty of excellent eateries. Super garden centre nearby serving great food.

We had a wonderful time at Broccoli Bottom. We stayed in Fennel Folly for a few nights, and it was a lovely home from home. The lambs and sheep were friendly neighbours in the adjacent fields, and the owners were accommodating and cheery. (The owner and her co-worker made a terrific double act!) We cycled round Rutland Water, not knowing what to expect. It’s not as flat (or as consistently paved) as you might expect, and it was rather muddy in places, but the views are attractive, and it’s an enjoyable and challenging (but not too arduous) day out. For food, the local pub in Manton is good, and Uppingham is great for the bakery and for fish and chips.
