The photos in the site donât actually do it justice, itâs even better. Our favourite feature was the log fire which kept us warm and cosy. Though our stay was during rain and cold weather we were never cold in the cottage - there are powerful heaters and extra plug ins but once the fire is roaring it heats the whole house. The downstairs was large for our family of three and had plenty of seating for any visitors. There are shelves of books and games to entertain and a good TV with Netflix too. We were working whilst staying at Kings and the WiFi connection was good in every room. The kitchen has everything you need and everything works well. The garden is gorgeous with a little stream at the bottom but it was a little too cold for us to enjoy. The village of a Fulbeck and the surrounding areas are welcoming and quaint. There are plenty of good walks and gorgeous pubs and artisan shops. I recommend many of the National Trust houses in the area - especially Belton. The information book lacked info on bin collections and what to put where and the cottage lacked a clothes horse ,there was one on the garden but it kept raining!) That is the only, very small, negative. We will definitely rent this cottage again. Thank you so much for a great stay.
