  • We came back! It didn’t disappoint. Being considerably less mobile than when we stayed last yaer we have very much appreciated the comfort of the cottage itself, as well as enjoying the short walks and drives to lovely places of interest. This cottage is a gem. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

  • A beautiful place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality, and the wonderful welcome pack. Unfortunately it was too hot to visit some of the lovely places round here, but it gives us a perfect reason to come back again and see them next time.

    Ann and Ron - July 2026

  • The New Stables surpassed my expections! Your designers touch made for a most enjoyable stay. The arrangements were perfect for visiting Donington Racetrack and the surrounding area. Thank you!

    Doris and Bob - June 2026

  • Very comfortable and well equipped cottage on the outskirts of Melbourne. The place was spotless and had a lovely welcome pack when we arrived. The owner was very friendly. Nice farm shop two minutes walk away and short drive to lots of supermarkets. Lots to do in the area, though in the middle of a heatwave we were unable to visit some of them. Hopefully we will be able to return when it’s not quite so hot, be very happy to stay in this cottage again.

  • We had a lovely stay at your lovely cottage. Thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality; your cottage has everything you need and more, you have done an amazing job renovating, great location too.

    Gillian, Sarah and David - May 2026

  • An absolutely beautiful cottage - the best we’ve ever stayed in. Perfect for our weekend stay for the British Superbikes at Donington. The cottage is cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Thank you Jayne for the welcome gifts of delicious cakes and bottle of prosecco. We will definitely be back.

    Carmel and David - May 2026

  • What a superb cottage, even better than anticipated! Perfectly placed for our weekend visit to watch motorsport at Donington Park. Even managed to fit in a 3 mile walk suggested in the brochure ‘Melbourne to Broadstone Lane’, perfect circular walk. So much to see around here, really intend to visit again. Thank you.
