St John's Cottage

St John's Cottage, Church Street, Ryhall, Rutland, England

Swans sunbathe by the River Gwash, Ryhall bustles with village life and, facing a magnificent ancient church, a lovely stone cottage peeps from an abundant English garden complete with climbing roses, apple trees and a working well. Inside, Janette has worked magic with matching colours, well-chosen ornaments, soft lighting and scented candles to create an authentic period feel. In the sitting room find a rocking chair, original bread oven, wooden chest and log fireplace already roaring for your arrival. A second sitting room (just as gorgeous) leads to a large farmhouse kitchen drenched in shades of pink, with a double oven and long dining table for all the family. Upstairs, fall back on Victorian-style iron beds; the master bedroom elegant with stripy cushions and candles, the family room pretty with a double and single bed draped in heart-motif quilts; both have views of village and church. The compact bathroom comes with a roll-top bath and Victorian basin and a ground floor single room suits those who can't manage stairs. Barbecue on the terrace, visit historic Stamford or Rutland Water for water sports, birdwatching, walking and more.

Off-road parking available.
