Oakham
Set in the heart of Rutland, your surroundings offer a perfect blend of natural beauty and quintessential English charm. You are just moments away from the vast expanse of Rutland Water, one of Europe’s largest man-made reservoirs. This stunning area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering everything from peaceful birdwatching at the nature reserve to more high-energy pursuits like sailing, windsurfing, and cycling along the scenic 23-mile perimeter track.
For a taste of local history, the nearby market town of Oakham is well worth a visit.
