Take your beloved canine companion to this charming traditional stone cottage in the pretty village of Ketton, ideal for a couple looking for a relaxing holiday. Explore nearby Rutland Water, just five miles away, an attractive reservoir surrounded by woodlands, and perfect for four paws to lead the way on leisurely walks or run alongside on adventurous bike rides. There are plenty of walking routes from the village to set tails wagging; try a section of the Hereward Way or the Macmillan Way.

Follow your pup into this delightful two-storey property with the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, packed with character, exposed beams and a traditional fireplace with a wood burner. The kitchen area offers everything you need to rustle up a romantic meal, and a comfortable sofa in the lounge invites you to put your feet up and snuggle up after a day exploring the area. Your hound can snore gently at your feet or find a place out through the patio doors in the courtyard outside. Head upstairs, and you’ll find a king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom. There is a rear courtyard with seating and sun loungers; there is a roof shelter to sit underneath so you can be outside, whatever the weather.

Explore the woods and let your pup sniff out adventures at Fineshade Wood (6 miles). Walking with your four-legged friend in the 300-acre Park area at Burghley (6 miles) is a a must and your pup will remind you to use the lead as there are deer to spot. The Garden Cafe at Burghley welcomes dogs in the outdoor area. The ancient forest at Wakerley Wood (6.5 miles) is another great choice if your dog wants to go mutts on a long walk. Plenty of well-maintained walking and biking trails are available, so you should find some peaceful spots to enjoy the trees and wildlife.

Dove Cottage, is very snug and cosy, just right for two people, and surprisingly spacious. The small Patio outside is lovely and just right for a coffee or a glass of wine. The cottage is located close to all the places you want to see in Rutland, and although theres no private parking, theres a lay-by outside the cottage, with a other a few steps Read moreaway. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at Dove Cottage. Perfect for two of us and our dog. Exquisitely decorated and had everything we needed. The shower was great, comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. We were so lucky with the weather for Oct, so mild and blue skies. Managed to eat breakfast on the patio a few mornings and dinner in the evening. Worth visiting RRead moreutland Water, did some walks around local villages. Stamford was beautiful, also Burghley Castle, Oakham & Belvoir Castle. Big Co-op in Uppingham. Hide

I would really recommend this cottage. It is beautifully restored with everything you need for a restful stay. The bathroom is lovely, as is the kitchen. The bed was really comfortable and I slept really well. Stamford is an interesting town with some great restaurants. We also loved exploring Rutland Water and Burleigh House.
