Bakers Retreat is a traditional thatched cottage in the delightful village of Exton in Rutland, and is surprisingly spacious and full of character. With beams and exposed stonework throughout and bedroom fireplaces, you’ll certainly be wowed by this mid 17th-century cottage. Step straight into the large kitchen/breakfast room where you can prepare your leisurely brunch whilst deciding what to do with your day. The spacious living room is focused on the stunning, stone inglenook fireplace with open fire where you can retreat on a chilly day. The large dining room provides the setting for a special dinner and another area to relax on the large sofas.

Or for the more sedate, there are many walks, great places for fishing or spotting the local birds from the bird watching centre at the nature reserves. Cycling is also very popular in the surrounding area.
The market towns of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford are close by and they all have a range of shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants. Do you love history and grand houses?

Other places to visit include Belton House, 20 miles, Belvoir Castle, 24 miles, Rockingham Castle, 16 miles, Grimsthorpe Castle, 19 miles, and Elton Hall, 19 miles away. A little further afield is Althorp House, Princess Diana’s final resting place, as well as Boughton House and Cottesbrooke Hall.
