The Details
The Longhouse is a remarkable adult-only retreat that sits on the edge of a pristine and tranquil pond. Made up of four beautifully hand-crafted cabins, this relaxing retreat offers groups of up to four guests a remarkable stay in rural Rutland.
As you approach The Longhouse, you wander down a tree-lined corridor that opens up into a private slice of woodland. The pond is as striking as it is beautiful, with a wooden walkway that winds around its entire perimeter. Then, when you approach the cabins themselves, you’ll spot the amazing outdoor area, where there’s some waterfront seating, a pair of alfresco baths and a woodland sauna for added luxury.
Inside, the interior design combines rustic charm with modern comforts. Reclaimed wood panelling connects you to the woodland outside, whilst bespoke artwork adds a touch of class. Unwind on the carefully chosen furnishings inside, or step out onto the deck and enjoy an afternoon drink by the edge of the pond.
When tummies rumble, the cabin has a fully fitted kitchen that has all of the conveniences of home. Whip up a delicious feast for your loved ones, which you can enjoy inside at the ornate dining table or out on the deck in the fresh country air whilst basking in the sunshine.
Despite the rustic charm on display, The Longhouse has lots of superb, modern amenities on offer, including a Smart TV and WiFi, so you can stay connected.
After a day out exploring the local area, head to the bathhouse that sits at the other end of the pond. Grab a bathrobe and wander around the water’s edge and enjoy a nice hot bath with a view. Then, cool off with a bracing outdoor shower and head to the sauna for another touch of luxury.
When eyes grow weary, The Longhouse has two king size bedrooms on offer. Each of these bedrooms has been lovingly furnished and designed, and they both have their own ensuite bathroom with showers for added privacy. And, with central heating from October to April, you’re bound to stay toasty and warm whatever the weather outside.
Rutland is home to a wealth of independent businesses offering award-winning food and drink, from artisan bakers and butchers to coffee roasters, microbreweries and Michelin-starred restaurants meaning there’s something for every taste.
And if you want to head out and explore, there’s loads to do in the local area including opportunities for walking, cycling, watersports on Rutland Water, golfing and fishing, plus nature reserves for birdwatching. Nearby towns - Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Melton Mowbray - boast boutique shopping, art galleries and award-winning food.
Uppingham is famed for antiques and a weekly market; Oakham offers heritage and its own brewery; Stamford is ideal for food lovers and hidden shopping gems; and Melton Mowbray delights with farmers markets and traditional local produce like pork pies and Stilton cheese.
