About this cottage rental
Built in 1840 as the village chapel, Candlelight Cottage was converted in 2010 to provide 2 bedroom accommodation for up to 4 guests. .
Located in one of the driest regions in the country, the cottage is a pet friendly 2-bedroom self catering stone chapel set in the grounds of the owners property in a quiet Nene valley village. Ideally located for visiting the historic stone market towns of Stamford (10 mins), Oakham (20 mins) and Oundle (10 mins), Burghley House (10 mins), Rutland Water (15 mins), East of England showground (10 mins).
Accomodation consists of 6mx4.3 m (20'x14') double height open plan living/dining/oak kitchen area with widescreen TV/Freesat/DVD, downstairs twin bedroom with full-size single beds, bathroom with 5' wide electric shower, upstairs bedroom with king-size bed, fenced patio area with patio table set and BBQ. There is a dog friendly country pub serving food just down the road along with the village playing field and playground.
The local area is popular for walking and cycling, fishing on the River Nene or at Rutland Water/Grafham Water/Eyebrook. Why not watch the Ospreys raise their young at Rutland Water or keep an eye open for Red Kites and Buzzards soaring over the garden? The pretty north Norfolk coast, London, Cambridge or Lincoln can all be reached in around an hour. There are many walks from the village along the river or through nearby woods and rolling hills. The local area is blessed with several historic stately homes, pretty stone villages and market towns along with a wide choice of places to eat and raise the odd glass or two! You can keep the children entertained at the nearby farm visitor centre or steam railway (both within 10 mins) or why not try canoing/wind-surfing/sailing/rock-wall/hiring a bike or having a boat trip on the Rutland Belle at Rutland Water?
7.4KW EV charging point available at additional cost. Substantial discount available for long stays.
Please note that the cottage is accessed via a 30m long level gravel path.

A very cosy and peaceful cottage, located in rural, scenic countryside yet within a few miles of the A1. We enjoyed many local walks through the Nene Valley and along forest trails. We both felt very relaxed after our ten day holiday in the cottage and were somewhat reluctant to leave!!

Candle light cottage was the perfect location and fabulous area to stay in for working at a Burghley. Many thanks Nicky.

On opening the door we were greeted by a light bright living area and a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The handle on the toilet cistern came off in your hand and the flush temperamental.
We enjoyed the location of this property and the variety of walks from the door and surrounding area. We did feel that it was in need of some tlc to update the freezer and frying pans and addition of a heated towel rail to air and dry the towels
