About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A rural retreat. Great for family holidays and get-togethers.

1 The Green is a delightful 4 bed-roomed holiday cottage in the village of Muston in the Vale of Belvoir (pronounced “Beever”).

This house is a favourite with dog walkers, families and for family reunions and weddings. It is cosy in the winter and peaceful in the summer. Many guests are returners.

The house is actually two farm cottages joined together to make a family house of four bedrooms with gas central heating. The house is newly restored in a sympathetic style using natural ecological paint, and is furnished with antique pieces to suit the house. There is an ample supply of glassware, china and linen. There is a large kitchen with electric stove, microwave oven, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble drier; a large sitting- room with television and open fire and an elegant separate dining- room/study.

There are two double bedrooms with double beds and two single bedrooms. There is a bathroom, shower room and a downstairs cloakroom. Outside there is a large front lawn, and at the rear a patio garden. A small conservatory serves as a store for bicycles, walking gear and garden furniture.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beat property we have stayed in.
The cottage is situated in a peaceful rural environment yet just a minute or two's drive from the A52 with easy access to Grantham, Nottingham and beyond. The cottage itself is spacious and homely with every facility you could wish for. We loved it. Lynn has thought of everything and likes to communicate personally to ensure her guests are fully briefed about the cottage, its history and the local area. Fabulous!

Great start to the new year
We booked the cottage to bring in the new year,how glad we were to book with Lynn,from the first booking enquiry to leaving the property everything was superb,everything you need for your stay is in the cottage. There are plenty of walks to go on,local pub(restaurant )is 10/15 mins walk,just make sure you have the bulk of your food/drink when you go in,there are no big supermarkets nearby(nearest is about 5 miles).Wouldn't hesitate to book with Lynn again.

Good stay
We are 3 seniors we stayed for one week. Everything was as it should be except the shower cubicle. We did not use it because the sliding doors were not safe and appeared to be falling off. This was not a problem for us as we had a hand held shower over the bath. This is only a small problem and didn’t affect our enjoyment of the stay overall. Thank you for an opportunity to stay in your comfortable home

A fab property in a great little village. Brilliant kids park round the corner. Very clean. A few items needed repair but was really well equipped, particularly the kitchen which in some rentals we have had we have found key items missing. Will definitely stay again.

Mixed experience
The cottage is easy to find and well positioned but could do with a little maintenance and a couple of upgrades. The shower isn't great and doesn't drain well. My stepfather in law pulled the plug out to find it matted with black hair. Likewise the dining and kitchen furniture is very rickety and wobbly and could probably do with replacing with something more comfortable. It is also described a 2 x Twin / Single rooms but they are definitely single rooms in each, there is no second bed.

Lovely home in a picturesque village.
This is our favorite "home away from home" when spending time in the UK. Perfect for our family group of 6. US visitors need to remember that personal washcloths are rarely provided in the UK, and you will need electric converters that are appropriate for phoned and computers (usually available at UK airports). This house has all the room you will need, including bathroom facilities. Village restaurant does pizza and carvery (very reasonable) Church in neighboring Bottesford is a beautiful and friendly church. Coop in neighboring Bottesford has most food and miscellaneous if you don't feel like travelling to Grantham.

Can't fault it - perfect
Beautiful property in a lovely location. Immaculately decorated and furnishedand equipped with ith everything, and more, we needed for our group of friends for a few days away. The village was very peaceful and quiet with not a sound to be heard during the night and we all said the beds were some of the most comfortable beds we had ever slept in. Lynn was very pleasant and easy to deal with and couldn't do enough for us. We even met the neighbours who were all very welcoming and friendly. We are already thinking about a return visit in the summer so we can make good use of the lovely garden. A very pleasant stay in a beautiful house in a lovely location.
