A cottage in a conservation village with logs in the burner, sloe gin on the table, and a good dining pub you can walk to

Read guest comments

Generations of Cholmeleys have managed the Easton Estate since 1561; today it’s Sir Fred who meets you at the door to the schoolmaster’s house. Burton-le-Coggles is the quaintest village on a traditional rural estate: just a church, a farm shop, a butchery and a pub with good food.

The cottage sits on the corner of the road in a garden scented by lavender, alliums, roses, lupins, sweet peas and apple trees, and a veg patch you are welcome to pick from. The light-filled kitchen overlooks the garden, the dining room has hundreds of books and the sitting room is cosy on winter days.

You’ll love the walking round here with plenty of OS routes to join, including a walk into Rutland and around the lake, or hire cycles for some gentle pedals. You have free access to Easton Walled Gardens, which are just up the road; you can have afternoon tea in the café, and sign up to various courses - from willow weaving to chocolate making. Visit Woolsthorpe Manor and Burghley House – both have cafes too.

Sir Fred Cholmeley:

The School House was once the home of the School Master or Mistress, who taught at the village school. It was built in around 1830.
The School House is on the Easton Estate, owned by the Cholmeley Family since 1561. The Estate's pub, the Cholmeley Arms, is about 5 minutes walk away, and serves the most delicious food.
Easton Walled Gardens, the gardens of the former Easton Hall which have been lovingly brought back to life by the Cholmeley family are a short drive away. Guests at The School House have free, unlimited access to the Gardens during their stay with us.
The lovely market towns of Stamford and Oakham are within easy driving distance, as is Rutland Water. See Our Local Guide on our website for more things to do and see when staying with us.
There are many historic houses in the area, from Belvoir Castle to Belton House, and from Grimsthorpe Castle to Burghley House.
Lincolnshire is one of England's largest counties, and has hundreds of historic Churches within its borders.

"In the countryside - heart of England...a gorgeous cottage- an ideal village experience exists. Surroundings so peaceful, beautiful, birdsong...scenes like a huge hare chasing a black cat down the lane...if you can imagine! Walk to the pub ( The Cholmeley Arms for fine or casual dining). Close to major routes- visited Sandringham, Grimthorp, British Motor Museum, Cambridge, Norwich, and of course completed the Newton Trail (thrilling, humbling).The Easton Gardens is at the disposal of cottage guests and is a place of beauty and indescrible peace- complete with a tearoom!"
