A fantastic stay for the family.
A fantastic stay for the family. We extended our trip to Rutland for a family wedding with a few days at Cook Cottage - the perfect location, set up, and cosy cottage. Everything you could want including a super pub down the road on your doorstep. What a treat to escape the city, and wake up to rabbits and nature from the bedroom window, which our two little ones loved.
