Family-friendly holiday rentals in Leicestershire

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)

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 :)

Had a lovely stay in the lodge. Beds comfy, place was clean and luxurious, great to have robes for when utilising the hot tub. Temp of hot tub did unfortunately vary and was cold on first night but soon sorted through instructions from host. Overall a very lovely stay with beautiful views and secluded quiet environment.WiFi a bonus! Lovely touches including bottle of wine, welcome note and folder providing info on local area and places to eat. We enjoyed visiting the foxton locks, the local tearoom and the local market for some lovely fresh produce.

Spacious and beautiful apartment and great hospitality from Leslie

Well what can we say It’s absolutely stunning and the grounds were beautiful. Peaceful location and so relaxing. We took full advantage of the hot tub and the barbecue. Well equipped kitchen and with a nice little touch of a bottle of bubbly in the fridge on our arrival. Dave is a great host and Sammy the dog kept us entertained. Visited the local farm with the Grandson who loved it and had a pub meal at the local pub which was stunning. All in all we’ve had a great stay and would recommend Dave’s place to everyone. We will definitely revisit we loved it that much. Thank You for having us See you soon 😊

We loved our stay at this beautiful lodge! The pictures really don’t do it justice, it’s just on the edge of the property so no one is overlooking you and it felt totally secluded and private. We also enjoyed a few good walks and yummy carvery Sunday lunch at the Foxton Locks pub.

Just got home from a lovely, relaxing stay here. Met up with 5 friends who now live all over the country and this was a great, central location. Tom met us as we arrived and showed us how everything worked. House was clean with some quirky lamps, each bedroom had an en-suite plus kettle and cups. The hot tub was a perfect addition. Lost many an hour chatting away while sat in it. Would definitely stay again.

The photos do not do this property justice! The location is stunning and peaceful - Sylvia provided very detailed instructions so it was easy to locate and access. The property itself is beautiful (we thought it was much bigger than it looked on the photos which ia a nice suprise!), its very clean, finished to a very high standard and has all the facilities you could need for a few days away. We have already recommended to friends and family, and looking to return ourselves! As a host Sylvia was very responsive to messages and very helpful. You will not regret booking your stay here 😀

We really loved our stay at Ryecroft Lodge, we were visiting Download festival nearby in Donnington and it was wonderful to have somewhere like this to decompress and relax between the festival days. The house is beautiful, very thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and wheelchair accessible too. Caroline is a great host, giving great, clear instructions and checked in with us at the beginning and end. Thank you, we hope to return again!

Lovely home ,spacious,tastefully decorated ... great terrace to sit out on overlooking a pretty park..quiet peaceful area. Kitchen had everything you would need including milk/cereal etc which was an added bonus .. felt very safe..host was very informative and helpful .Perfect for our ladies day racing weekend .. would come back Thank you

Absolutely perfect for us whilst we worked nearby at Belvoir Castle. Being from quiet Cornwall, we were worried about it's proximity to the A46. But we heard nothing. So peaceful. Very well equipped with all sorts of utensils and cookware. 10 minute drive to Bingham with Aldi, Lidl and Little Waitrose. Comfy and warm, so glad we chose to stay here!

this was are 2nd trip to manton lodge, very calm relaxing experience, walking distance to the water, on a bus route. great place to visit and hugh and family are great hosts

While there was a slight issue with our accomodation Olga was an extremely responsive host and sorted the issue out within the hour (even though the issue arose during the night) I dident expect how quick she was to react and that was amazing to see from a host. The house was clean and tidy, beds were extremely comfortable and it was very quiet and peaceful inside. Would definitely recommend to others and i would definitely stay again

Utterly wonderful place to stay - beautiful location , spotlessly clean , excellent welcome basket of goodies , comfy sofas, comfy bed , big bath towels ,so many thoughtful touches. Better than the photos . Really responsive and welcoming host . Have already rebooked . A real find .

Really enjoyed our stay, great people around us making us feel right at home beautiful area and lovely hosts

This booking was for my uncle to stay while visiting us (we live locally). He found it very comfortable and Lindsay very helpful and pleasant. He had his car parked there and all was very safe and secure. Would recommend.

We stayed June 1st to 7th. Strawberry Lodge is located on a working farm and has fabulous views across the countryside. The sheep come right up to the house and are fun to watch. The kitchen is extremely well appointed and we made good use of the space. The local area is very rural but close to Rutland Water and we visited Barnsdale Gardens, Burghley House and the Workhouse in Southwell. All are recommended for visits. Finally, our hosts left a very generous welcome hamper which we very much appreciated.

What a great place to stay much much better the pictures. The bathroom was unreal. Would definitely recommend staying here. Supper clean. Has everything you need.

Excellent location -safe neighbourhood within easy walking distance of the train station and town centre and lovely local park. Off street parking, accommodation facilities as listed, comfy double bed. Great value for money.

We had a great stay. Everything was as described on the website and in the photo's. Lovely quiet location, ideal area for quiet walks and exploring the local market towns. The house had good facilities, plenty of crockery, towels etc and a nice homely feel. Having two sitting rooms was a bonus. We went in winter and enjoyed the open fires too. Definitely recommend.

Decent price for 8 people and 1 kid. Much more cheaper that any hotel. My family was happy.

I was arriving late and Chris met me at the main road so I could follow him to the place. He was great, he showed me the access and details of the place and left me to it. He brought logs over for the fireplace which was great as I hasd't bought any. The place is small but you have what you need. Room was warm and cosy and the setting is just amazing. if you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of daily life...this is the place to come. There is another Lodge across the other side of the lake but not close enough to disturb your privacy or in view of each other. I went to Market Harborough which is the nearest town..they have some fantastic restaurants and cafes and bars...plus a waitrose,.aldi etc just 10 to 12 mins drive away. You are very secluded at the Lodge..you are immersed in the countryside so great walks and views plus you see lots of wildlife around you. I will definitely be visiting again

The host family was very warm and welcoming, always talking to me and making me feel at ease. I really appreciated the snacks, seasonings, and daily necessities they provided. There are supermarkets and cafés within walking distance, and if you go a bit further, you can reach the city center. If you’re staying in Leicester, this is the perfect place to be.

Greenman Cottage was perfect for a short break for us. Cosy but comfortable and had all the facilities we needed. Martha was a great host and easy to communicate with!
