Recently converted from bed and breakfast, Gable Cottage offers excellent self catering accommodation in the privacy of the cottage annexe. Two bedrooms offering flexible accommodation for a booking of up to 4 people. Both rooms have views overlooking the garden and the thatched cottage next door. The bathroom has both a bath and shower, with soap and shower gel provided. There is a kitchenette (air fryer, microwave, toaster, kettle) in the dining room where you can do simple cooking (breakfast welcome pack with homemade bread included), and a cute sitting room on the gallery overlooking it. There are TVs in the bedrooms and living room (gallery). The top garden has seating to enjoy, and there’s a bench overlooking the pond. The pub in the village is excellent, and there are plenty of places to eat in Oakham or get a takeaway.
Fiona and Richard are trying their best to be more environmentally aware, so among other changes they now use a more eco friendly way of washing bedding etc., don’t use plastic sponges, are moving to using alternatives for plastic bin liners. They are also leaving some of their lawn to grow long, hopefully encouraging insects into the garden. There is also a Pod Point electric vehicle charger that guests can use, a small cost is involved.
Quietly nestling in the quiet English countryside, Braunston is to be found in England’s smallest county which has much to offer you; not least, stunning Rutland Water, an array of unspoilt villages, and the attractive market towns of Oakham, Uppinhgam and Stamford that are packed with charm. Rutland Water is just a ten minute drive away,and is England’s largest manmade reservoir. Popular for cycling, walking, water sports, fishing and bird watching.
Braunston is a small, picturesque village in a rural location 2 miles from Oakham. Gable Cottage offers fabulous accommodation with attention to detail. Situated in a secluded spot reached via a private lane and there is ample parking. The village pub is just a few minutes walk away and serves excellent food. Children over 10 are welcome. No pets, sorry.
Our impact on the environment is extremely important to us and two of the things we’re trying to do is use less plastic, especially single use, and create a garden that encourages insects, birds and animals to visit.”
