Under Willows Great Glen

Under Willows is a shepherd's hut in Great Glen, just outside Leicester. It's one of two places on the same site, but you get your own space.

It's basically a nice, small wooden cabin. Sleeps two. One bedroom, and a separate shower room. It's got the 4 Star rating, which means it's well finished and everything works. People seem to like it.

The inside is open plan, kitchen and living area together. Outside there's a patio area with a hot tub. There's also a chiminea for warmth and a hammock. It's set in a big garden.

You're not far from things. The A6 is close by, so getting to Leicester is straightforward, about eight miles. Market Harborough is the other way, similar distance. There's a pub and a restaurant about a quarter of a mile walk away.

For things to do, Foxton Locks on the canal is about eight miles. Good for a walk. The National Space Centre in Leicester is about ten miles. If you drive for twenty, twenty-five minutes, you get to Rutland Water. You can cycle or walk the track around it.

A few National Trust places are within half an hour, like Lyveden or Stoneywell. Links for those: National Trust Lyveden and National Trust Stoneywell.

What's here: bedding and towels are included. There's WiFi and a TV. Parking is on site. There's a BBQ. No pets. It can be booked with the other cottage next door if you're a bigger group.
