Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kettering

Location was excellent for our purposes (in the center of the city, few minutes walking distance from the University, the market and the railway station) The host was a bit slow in responding before arrival in the UK, but issues regarding were resolved upon arrival at the airport. Overall the apartment was in good to excellent condition apart from some issues which were considered minor due to the relative short stay of 8 days. (One window was very tricky to open and close, the freezer needed some defrosting, one of the faucets had a broken drainer, no towels or sheets were changed during the length of our stay)

We booked three barns and the hut for 7 people. It was a work event for two nights and we were able to work outside, enjoy the bbq and enjoy cooking and playing games together. One of the best work trips we had. Thank you.

Wow! Our group of 9 ladies have had the most amazing weekend at this lovely property. We loved the warm welcome from the hosts & very much appreciated the goodies left out for us & helpful instructions. We were lucky to have beautiful sunshine, enabling us to make the most of the wonderful garden. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and making s’mores in the hobbit hut, as well as yoga on the lawn & watercolour painting under the apple tree - a truly blissful girls’ weekend! The bunnies & Welly the pig were gorgeous! The house was clean & there was plenty of room for the 9 of us, we barely used the lounge and dining room! We also hired the games barn & it was like having our own little pub & a great evening’s entertainment. We would have loved to have stayed longer & tried out the pizza oven. We enjoyed a long walk including the spooky railway tunnel & a great meal over the road at the pub. We couldn’t have asked for more and would love to return! Thank you Hannah & Noel :)

Celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was absolutely lovely, we are definitely going back! Lynden was so lovely and gave clear instructions that made finding eveything so easy, love our tour of the farm and feeding all the animals that were so friendly! The room was really nice and decorated so beautifully & really appreciated the complimentary snacks. We loved the hot tub, lighting the fire for our marshmallows, and how close the animals got to us! Was a lovely place to stay felt so at home and welcomed, would define my recommend :)

lovely accommodation great communication with host :)

Our stay was perfect - we loved it. The views our amazing; it is very peaceful and the hot tub and fire were a bonus.

I loved it so much I have booked to go again, disappointed that the prices are higher. However it was the perfect break that I needed.

Absolutely amazing space to get together with friends and family. We stayed for a weekend as a group of 14, 9 adults and 5 kids and we had plenty room for all of us. The place is beautiful, exactly as shown on pictures and the bedrooms/huts are all spacious, clean, warm and comfy. The kitchen is spotless and big and the different areas available to chill in, is a huge plus for this place. Communication was easy and Fred and Charlotte were prompt and friendly in responses. We would all recommend this place and we wish we had longer here, the kids were as gutted as the adults to leave. The hot tub was amazing! 5 stars without doubt and would love to stay again.

Had a really nice stay, perfect area and it was nice to have the sheep and donkeys so close. Lovely and quiet. Will definitely be back Thank you for having us

It was a lovely stay at a beautiful cottage. The cottage was everything we hoped for a little two day get away. We spent time on local walking footpaths and getting to know the local pubs. Our recommendations are; The Falcon, Ye Olde Reine Deer Inn and The Blinking Owl over the road. The owners of the Blinking Owl were lovely hosts, really traditional English pub and great food from Sylvia! We spent our New Years Eve there and it was a lovely evening. Couldnt have asked for a better stay. Mary was super helpful and responsive on the run up to the stay. We hope to visit again soon.

Elizabeth gave us a warm welcome just after we arrived. The house is beautiful wish we had been there longer,there is everything you require. What else can I say apart from I fell in love with it,we will be back.

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again. Thank you.

The Herb Garden is incredibly quiet, no road noise and very private. The friendly pub is just one mile away for a drink or food. The accommodation is interesting as it used to be a cafe, so the kitchen is very well equipped with 2 double sinks! Everything spotless except the oven which could do with a scrub. We were very pleased to be supplied with 6 eggs, bread, butter, milk, jam, biscuits as well as tea and instant coffee! No cafetiere. I believe the listing says self check in, but we were met by Vanessa's partner and given keys. Exceptionally quick, smooth and friendly. This is not luxury, but it is good value and would really suit couples with a dog as the large garden is very secure. Thank you for our stay.

We had a fab weekend in this place. Pam was so accommodating in every way, she was really helpful with telling us local walks and supplying a map so we found beautiful footpaths and village pubs to enjoy. We took our dogs who definitely approved of the location! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, and would happily return here because there was nothing negative whatsoever!

This is quite a quirky and well-modified ancient haybarn, tucked in behind an old timbered/thatched house. It's quaint, quirky, inglenooked, low-beamed, a bit creaky in places, fully equipped with everything you'd need except (my own little obsession) razor-sharp cooking knives. I know I know . . H&S. But if you're an aficionado of these things, bring your own knife. That's my ONLY tongue-in-cheek gripe. If you want to go to Peterborough . . STAY HERE!!

Beautiful peaceful area, lots of lovely touches in the accomodation. Thanks Katy

My boys and I had a wonderful stay at Barley Cottage. Stephen and Philip are amazing hosts, super friendly, very knowledgeable of the area and great conversation. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower was great. Water Newton is an idyllic little village just a stones throw from Peterborough, but a world away! We loved every minute of our time there.

From 1st contact, Patricia was quick to reply & friendly. Her lodge was spotless and equipped with everything u cld want. Welcome pack of bread / milk etc such a lovely thought. Flowers and plants around the lodge are absolutely beautiful! The park itself is so peaceful. Would definately recommend

We were greeted well upon arrival. They showed and explained everything. We were also lucky to see beautiful peacocks on the territory. The house corresponds to the description and photos. There is a good sauna, a large pool and there is a passage from a small goubina to a large one. The jacuzzi is also large. Everything is clean and neat, we liked it, the child is delighted, we will definitely come again.🙃

Stephen is amazing, personable, responsive, ready with helpful actionable suggestions if you need them . The place itself is on a beautiful , riverside property, with beautifully maintained garden, swimming pool. It is 10 minutes drive from Peterborough and 25 minutes form Stomford, and has many trails and walks around that you can explore.

Beautiful peaceful spot in the Cotswold countryside. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with great walks straight from the door. The pool was such a fantastic asset and really added to our holiday.

Lovely home, felt very comfortable there- we had 4 children between 4 adults, and it felt like a lived in house- therefore we were not panicked about the children just being children!! The pool was a lovely temperature and our children enjoyed it thoroughly. House nice and warm, kitchen and lounge area which overlooks the swimming pool were a real hub of the home- a very nice space. All in all a great find for when we need to be in Hertfordshire! We would stay again.

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The hosts are fantastic and the lovely warm pool is great to play in with the kids. You can even go fishing at the end of their garden ( which I took full advantage of!!) or just relax with a glass of wine and sit looking over the river. We look forward to returning next year.

Sharon’s property is nothing short of exceptional. It was perfect to accommodate our (quiet) hen party, with plenty of comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen and many other rooms to enjoy. The pool area was super clean and very enjoyable in the sunny weather we had. Sharon herself was the most welcoming host we could have hoped for. She gave us an excellent tour of the house and grounds open our arrival, and was always on hand next door for any queries or just a chat if we fancied! She was even kind enough to let us have a late checkout so that we could enjoyed the pool for longer. Thank you so much Sharon x
