This holiday retreat is ideally located to explore one of the finest examples of creative conservation in Great Britain – Rutland Water. Stroll down the bridle path next to Pibbles Nook, climb the stile, make your way across the meadow and pass through the spinney that leads to the edge of the water where you can enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits including water sports, trout fishing, bird watching, cycling and walking.
The kitchen specialises in taste-packed classics, using ingredients from their own paddock as well as the surrounding countryside and local producers and supplies. They skilfully work with flavours that were made to go together as well a few unusual combinations.
