The Little Bothy has been sympathetically recently converted - each cottage sleeps 4 with all the comforts of home. Located next to the borders of Lincolnshire, Rutland and Cambridgeshire, this delightful holiday property, attached to the owners’ home, offers a peaceful retreat with views across rolling countryside. The historic and picturesque town of Stamford is close by, and was recently dubbed
the ’finest town in England’. It has artisan cafes, shops and restaurants, and has formed the backdrop for television costume dramas including ’Middlemarch’, and the 2005 film ’Pride & Prejudice’. Explore Burghley House, which was built and predominantly designed by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587. The house is a splendid example of Elizabethan architecture and offers beautiful gardens to explore. It is, of course, also home to many events throughout the year, including the prestigious Burghley Horse Trials in September. Surrounded on three sides by the river, it is a beautiful stone built market town, which has served the surrounding valleys since Saxon times. Peterborough, with its beautiful Norman cathedral is just 20 minutes away, and offers great shopping and eateries. The East of England Showground is just outside of Peterborough, home to shows and exhibitions including The Shire Horse Show, National Motor Home Show and many others. A little further afield is the university city of Cambridge where you can be inspired by the many beautiful museums and art galleries. To make your trip easier, there’s a great park and ride system available too. For those looking for peaceful walks and unspoilt scenery, Rutland Water is just a 20-minute drive away and offers great leisure activities including a water side stroll, sailing and windsurfing classes, and bike hire. Sacrewell Farm Park is close by and is fantastic for both children and adults, it has many attractions including its majestic Shire horses and Hamerton Zoo Park. For those seeking faster thrills, Silverstone is also within easy reach. With easy access to the A1, A47 and A14, it is the ideal location to explore everything this beautiful and undiscovered area has to offer. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles. Ground floor: Living room.

We just have to share this latest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from happy guests Andrew and his family who stayed in Rest and be Thankful last weekend…..
5* A beautiful hidden gem!
We have just spent the most idyllic weekend in Old Sulehay Cottage, Rest and be Thankful. What a gem!! Best cottage we have ever stayed in and we will be returning. Kathryn and Jonathon (and their dogs) are the perfect hosts. The beautiful cottage is cosy, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Just perfect, but it is the setting that really steals your heart. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the surrounding garden, orchard and countryside really took our breath away. We enjoyed both sitting out on the patio and in the orchard with a glass of wine! It really is stunning. We loved watching Kathryn's horses in the paddock in the evening and enjoyed seeing so much wildlife and listening to the bird song. We visited Stamford, Burghley and Rutland Water all of which are a must and only a short drive away. To sum up. We were all very rested and very thankful for a wonderful weekend. Thank you Kathryn and Jonathon.
