The Folly Greetham

The Folly is in Greetham, right in the middle of the village. It's a Grade II listed building, built by the local stonemason ages ago. You can see all the stonework he did, inside and out.

It sleeps six, but that's in two proper bedrooms and then a sofa bed in the living room. Each of the two bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom. There's also a separate shower room downstairs.

The kitchen has handmade units. Outside, there's a seating area at the front where you can sit and have a meal. You can see the building from there.

It's rated 4 Star. It's a nice place. There are two pubs in the village, both do food. Everything is on one level, so it's suitable if you have mobility issues or use a wheelchair.

Rutland Water is a few minutes away by car. You can do all sorts there, like sailing, cycling, or walking. There's a birdwatching centre there too. Rutland Water has all the details.

Barnsdale Gardens is nearby and nice for a visit. For towns, Oakham, Uppingham, and Stamford are close. They've got shops and places to eat.

Facilities include a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, and parking on site. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and highchair if you need them. No pets.

It can connect to the cottage next door if you're a bigger group. Useful link for the area: National Trust Rutland.
