Family-friendly vacation 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)

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.

Such a magical weekend, thank you for having us! It was so peaceful and the animals were all so beautiful (even if the alpacas were a bit cheeky) The hottub made a fabulous finish to each evening under the stars. We will definitely be coming again!

We (2 adults and 2 children) really enjoyed our stay. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage is very peaceful. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The host was very friendly. He gave us great recommendations and let our kids onto the farm to see the lambs. Fully recommend :)

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.

From beginning to the end - great communication. There was a small issue with the hot tub on arrival, but they were already on it. It really was a lovely place and relaxing; well equipped. Pub was an 18 minute walk, but nice following the reservoir. Watch out for the pub opening times and when they serve food! For coffee and a snack try Dusty's in a neighbouring village.

This is our second time staying here and just like before everything was perfect. Our son really enjoyed seeing all the sheep from the lodge and it's a short drive into Barrow for everything you need during your stay

Very nice house. We've enjoyed our stay.

This was our first Air B&B experience. If Hugh and his Emma are anything to go by as hosts we will always choose this option over any hotel. They helped us out of the way to make us feel at home. We were in-between selling a house thus required a month long place to reside. With the amount of baggage and luggage we could not have stayed anywhere else. The family let us use their shed space and took the burden off us. The entire property is just "wow". Endless green fields with local habitat, horses in barns, pet chickens and beautifully landscaped gardens around the whole palace like estate. A month is a lot of time but the family was very proactive to any queries or requirements. The dwelling itself has a lot of character, Endless paintings and views to die for. Not to mention the collection of multitude of books. The host had provided detailed information pack about anything and everything. We wish them prosperity and happiness in all future endeavours. Hugh do take a break!

Olga’s place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I really appreciated how responsive and flexible Olga was! Thanks for having us

I stayed at The Hayloft whilst looking for a place to rent of my own, the house became like my home and I truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the countryside and how private it felt. The house was pristine and they had a newly renovated bathroom and kitchen, it was amazing to get a chance to use their place as a stepping stone. I would’ve loved to have stayed on. The hosts were extremely nice and responded to all my queries, I’ll definitely be back and would recommend them to everyone I know and don’t know!

It was a privilege to be able to stay in such a beautiful setting. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The cottage was very homely and we really appreciated the provisions provided. Personally, I was in horse heaven! Thank you so much, Caroline, Roger and Lucy. We definitely would want to come back.

I had a wonderful stay here — the house is cozy, quiet, and full of warmth. It reminded me of my university days in Nottingham, and for a few nights, it felt like I had traveled back to that time. Thank you for creating such a comforting space. I’d definitely love to come back again!

So close to town and anything you need to do in Nottingham. Near to local transport and places to eat out. A nice and quiet location close to the middle of town... perfect.

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.

Location was brilliant and host was great. Loved the flexible auto-check in, and apartment was well-furnished. Price was also reasonable especially considering the quality of the apartment. Will be more than happy to come back next time.

Lyla and Stephen have crafted a beautiful little holiday home separate from their house, but on the same property and they are perfect hosts. My son and I loved our stay which was walking distance from the City Cricket Academy where my son did a half term camp

Chris was a wonderfully helpful ,and friendly host that made our stay in an already enchanting landscape a truly magical experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend the cabins to anyone who is wanting to run off to the countryside for a while to unwind and explore the natural beauty of the English landscape.

Lovely house, clean and clear communication.

Very clear instructions for finding and getting in the appartment. The area was very cozy and really beautiful to walk around in. The appartment had everything I needed and a lot of useful instructions. Would come here again when visiting Nottingham!

We had a fabulous stay. Ruth made everything effortless, even offered us early check in and a later check out which we all really appreciated A beautiful place to stay, the house was immaculate. We felt so relaxed and at home as soon as we arrived. We all really enjoyed every minute. We will be back ! Thank you

Great house great garden , clean and tidy . Ideal location for local amenities. Would definitely stay here again
