NEW Luxury Countryside Retreat for Family and Friends
Welcome to your home in the East Midlands!
My air-conditioned, underfloor heated, spacious 2 bedroom loft, is a loving conversion of the standalone Victorian red-brick stable building at my family home, Rectory Farm, which is set in rolling countryside close to Market Harborough (1 hour by train to London).
It has literally just been converted for luxury modern living so everything is brand new and sparkling clean. It's filled with custom-made furniture, original art and fun gadgets.
The Loft is a large 135 sq metre / 1450 square foot space which welcomes friends and families or work colleagues travelling together. Ideal for those who want a relaxing and luxurious place to stay which is a world apart from the chain hotels and poor quality accommodation otherwise available.
If you are coming in a bigger group why not consider also booking my other 3 bedroom listing at the same location, The Barn - Its an amazing Indoor/Outdoor Living space with a 10 metre glass wall and its own garden that sleeps 8, or The Cottage, my romantic one bedroom that sleeps 4. Put together the three units offer sleep 18 adults and 4 infants and offer an amazing space for larger reunions and get togethers. Check my profile for more information.

Picturesque location
The property is stunning! If you are looking for a retreat to the countryside, this is it. The Loft is beautifully appointed with gorgeous views, comfortable spaces and all the sweet touches that surprise you. A fresh loaf of locally baked bread, butter, milk and plenty of other treats to indulge in. Explore the farm with a pair of Hunter boots left for your use during your stay. We absolutely loved everything about The Loft, farm, host and comforts of the countryside retreat. Susan gave us many recommendations for pubs, parks, sites, etc. It really was a superb experience. We cannot wait to return.

A relaxing break
Booked the Loft to meet with friends, somewhere different from the usual hotel. Property was clean, excellent facilities, the quality of fixtures and fittings surprised us. Information provided and communication with the property manager was excellent. There are plenty of things to do nearby, or like us, you can relax with friends in relative luxury, would definitely visit again.

Absolutely Perfect
This trip was a short few days to catch up with friends and family and attend a wedding.
The property was our base to do so and was absolutely fantastic, I cant rate it highly enough. From booking through check in and our stay to check out everything was dealt with extremely professionally. Susan and the team looked after us superbly. It was spotless, very high spec and there was nothing we didn't have. Will definately be back as our new base when we are visiting the area.

Beautiful holiday house in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful stay at this property. From the start we had a very kind, Covid-19 aware welcome. All the information that we needed with regard to using the appliances in the house were conveniently located on a small tablet. The owners kept in touch frequently, but via email or SMS, so as not to be intrusive. The information received was very helpful. The property itself is a beautifully updated stable loft. It was very clean & very tastefully decorated throughout with high quality fittings. The beds were very comfortable & air conditioning units ensured that we could get the perfect temperature no matter the weather. The kitchen had all that would be needed to cater for yourself on a short break. Eating outdoors on a sunny day on the balcony gave us a treat looking out on the beautiful surroundings. We still needed the odd time to keep in touch with work so really appreciated the good WiFi connections & workspace. Our boys loved the x-box & use of The smart TV & amazon Echo speakers. Knowing what we know now I would be happy to stay at this property or any of the owner’s other properties again. I would stay longer though!!

Great property in the countryside for a family break with our 2 kids. Lots to do locally eg play farms and in Leicester (space museum and indoor climbing). Nice and quiet and very nicely decorated and equipped with all mod cons

All Our Christmas Wishes Came True
The Loft was the ideal location for our festive family stay in England. From the Christmas tree to the popcorn machine, the carefully chosen furniture to Alexa on hand to play Christmas tunes, every little detail was perfectly thought out. Susan, our host, has created a truly special rural hideaway. We look forward to staying at The Loft again.

Fantastic property
We stayed for two nights at The Loft. We were a group of friends catching up and the property was perfect. It’s been recently renovated to a very high standard with all mod cons. It’s in a lovely setting with great privacy which was great for us.
There were some great finishing touches such as fresh bread on arrival. Anne who met us to check in was very helpful and the information provided by Susan before arriving was comprehensive.
It was a short taxi ride into Market Harborough which had plenty of pubs and restaurants.
Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a luxurious base in the area!

Amazing house in the middle of nowhere, in a stunning location
We really enjoyed our stay at the house, everything was perfect! It's a freshly renovated loft and everything has been thought of to make our stay smooth and enjoyable! Fresh bread, jams, butter, milk, teas ready for us on arrival, a cot, bath and toys for the baby, everything in the house was spotless and stylish, we enjoyed playing monopoly, using the smart speaker to listen to music, the blackout blinds were great for napping with our little one, it was great to have lunch on the balcony overlooking our own little pond with cute waterhens chicks and rabbits to keep us company. The owners Susan and Dom were super friendly and accommodating and went above our expectations, and can give you all the information you need about the house and the area. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed walking around the main pond and enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. It's not too far a drive from Market Harborough to go grocery shopping, and it took us less than 2 hrs to get there from London. Would definitely stay again when we're in the area, and would recommend to anyone who wants a luxury stay in a very quiet location to get away from the busy city life.
