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.

Communication with the host is very good. Clear instructions for the property. The house is very comfortable to holiday in. We have stayed a few times and always enjoyed our time there. It does accommodate various age groups and we had a one year old with us. Although we had to shield the glass cupboard. A lovely property with a childrens play park within walking distance. If you have a dog, there are so lovely places to go all walkable from the property. A lovely farm shop selling fresh eggs. Its a great place for a relaxing holiday.

Great house in lovely village

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.

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

We really enjoyed our long weekend stay at 1, The Green. The cottage is full of character and exceptionally well equipped – it even had hair tongs! It felt homely and comfortable, and was the perfect place to return to after some picturesque walks along the old Grantham Canal and a visit to Belvoir Castle. Lynn was a fantastic host – communication was excellent throughout. When we encountered a minor issue with the boiler on arrival, she swiftly arranged an emergency callout on the Friday evening, which we really appreciated.
