This beautiful converted barn is the perfect choice for a relaxing break in the English countryside. Surrounded by rolling hills, woods, and a stream, and boasting views of the garden and the private pond, this is a restful retreat. We love the outside space, where you can enjoy sunny afternoons and cosy up around the log burner after dark. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and dining space is the heart of the home, ideal for family gatherings. From here, you can visit Rutland Water and the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham.

About United Kingdom
Away from the bright lights and bustling marketplaces of London, the English countryside is home to chocolate box villages, stately homes straight out of period dramas and wild hinterland in the North where travel is by vintage steam train or in hiking boots.
