St Johns Cottage, Ryhall, Rutland

Set within the picturesque quaint village of Ryhall in Rutland, this spacious unique and stylish cottage (offering optional hire of the hot tub) presents a relaxed mix of original rustic features and contemporary mod cons, with interior furnishings and fabrics inspired by Mulberry, and Liberty of London. A truly quintessentially English country cottage complete with rambling roses, apple and pear trees and an ancient working well.

Featured in Interiors magazine, this spacious family retreat ideally sleeps up to 12 guests in four bedrooms but can accommodate up to 4 more guests as there are 2 separate living rooms each with a double sofa bed. One of the living rooms is completely private once the door is shut.

With 3 bedrooms in the main cottage and a 1 bed Garden Room complete with en suite wet room, St John's is ideal accommodation for all party celebrations and family get togethers. The Garden Room is ideal for elderly guests or those with mobility issues as this accommodation has only 1 step. Or get together with a group of girlfriends for a relaxing weekend - we also welcome hen parties.

The cottage is packed with original rustic features including a gorgeous 20ft farmhouse kitchen seating 12-16 guests. There is a huge inglenook open fire, oak beams, solid oak flooring and window seats.

The kitchen opens out on to a York stone patio seating up to 16 guests. Here you will find a Jamie Oliver barbecue, and night lanterns ideal for alfresco dining. Beyond is a pretty, private mature garden. There is good off road parking for 5 cars.

The cottage is within easy walking distance of a well stocked village store plus 2 fabulous award winning pubs ranging from pub grub at the Green Dragon to Michelin star quality food at The Wicked Witch. There is also a handy grocery store.

You can enjoy a lovely walk through the village seeing an array of wildlife and animals along the Gwash river. For activities check out Rutland Aqua Park and Grange Farm with its outdoor pursuits.
