House vacation rentals in Loughborough

A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Wonderful location, the kids loved having a pool and playground (or 2 if you count the pub playground) at their doorstep. The views were lovely too. Also a testament to the layout was how easily pur kids ended up making friends with other kids there over such a short period. The only 2 things I would change - beds were too hard for me (but that is personal preference) and the showers weren't the best - though showers in the pool area were perfect. Clearly not something that would change my 5 star rating. A couple of other points - being so close to Carsington Water (1 minute drive) was superb. Ashbourne and Matlock also close and lovely locations - very much enjoyed our little excursions there and to The Heights of Abraham. Thanks, a lovely stay.

We had a great stay - the house is peaceful, quiet, clean, and especially cosy with the woodburner on! Richard and Jo were excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating, and offered great advice on places to visit nearby with our two small children. We all slept amazingly well (very unusual with a 1 and 3 year old); the beds were comfy and it was so quiet. The house is well set up for visiting with toddlers - there are toys, books, stair gates etc. and the large garden is great to let them run around in. We would absolutely return, especially in the summer to really make use of the beautiful garden.

Great for family - pool and games room really made the stay fun even if weather wasn’t perfect

We had a wonderful stay at Knockerdown cottages. It was everything we hoped for and more. The children enjoyed the facilities (swimming pool and field for playing games) and we had some lovely walks in the surrounding area. Thank you very much! We look forward to revisiting soon!

This place is GORGEOUS!! The pictures really don't do it justice. The open plan kitchen/dining/lounge was perfect for a girly weekend. I love that each double room had its own ensuite.

great cottage in a fantastic location with Carsington Water in walking distance and a lovely country pub too! Cottage had everything we could have asked for and our host was really helpful when we needed them. Highly recommend :)

I stayed with my family at the cottages on a trip to Alton Towers. I would recommend it to anyone very spacious, clean and great communication with the staff. Lots on site to keep the kids entertained. Would definitely stay again

We had a lovely stay at Knockerdown Cottages! The room was very clean, well-maintained, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless without any manual intervention, which made everything so easy. The property is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The only minor issue we faced was that shampoo and shower gel were not provided by the owners, so it would be good to carry your own toiletries. Overall, a wonderful experience — would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

A group of 14 of us stayed here for the weekend and loved the place. Location was great, with it being nice and secluded but easy to get into town for food, pubs and other touristy bits. The location instructions made it very easy to find the place. The Airbnb was well equipped with everything you need. The place is great for large groups and big enough for everyone to have their own space when needed.

Adorable home perfect for our overnight stay. Extremely clean & tidy. Both bedrooms were large & nicely furnished. So lovely and quiet at night, very restful sleep. Kaine was a perfect host and the property was easy to find and get into. Nice & decent size Co-op on the main road B6016, about 5 minutes walk. Also, a few takeaways, pubs around there and on Somercotes Road. We had a relaxing, very comfortable stay, thank you Kaine

Had a fantastic stay at Rest and Refresh’s place in Leicester. The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The team at Rest and Refresh were super responsive and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. Would definitely stay here again!

We booked the house for a family weekend visiting in Derby. Great central location. Fantastic house with high ceilings and original period architecture, tastefully decorated. Loads of space to relax in and was a perfect stay. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our daughters 21st birthday celebrations with family. She is a stately home fan and this house was like a mini one! We all had a lovely weekend and Penny was very helpful if we needed anything. Thank you for use of your beautiful house!

We had a lovely stay the night before our wedding with my bridesmaids, the hosts were great with anything needed, everywhere was extremely clean and the amenities were great for what we needed and more!

Really lovely house with plenty of room for us all, 6 adults and 4 children. Very clean and everything we needed was there plus toys for the garden and the pool table etc in the garage. We all had a really great time and it was a good base for visiting local attractions.

Thank you for a great stay, our team were very pleased with the property, perfect located for where we needed to be. the property was a top standard and we slept really well. the host Rob was always on hand when needed. thanks again

The property met our requirements which was within walking distance to my daughter's. A very comfortable property with the space that we needed. Alison was a great host and would certainly stay here again.

Very comfortable house with excellent sleeping facilities and close to village centre and amenities

A really nice place for me and my family. Very clean and feels like home. My two young kids loved it. Close driving distance to Leicester centre and surrounding suburbs. Debra communicated well and was very responsive. Highly recommended!

Home from home. Ideal base for the Midlands. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful private garden. We highly recommend staying there.

Katie’s place was great and finished to a high level. We really enjoyed the space as a family, it was like home from home and we have recommended it to our local family (as we stayed fir a family occasion). She intends to recommend to anyone who needs somewhere to stay in the area 😀

We had a good few days at Matthew's place, which was easy to find, and very convenient for what we wanted to do locally. Matthew is a very responsive host, and easy to get hold of. We appreciated the little touches, like a bottle of wine in the fridge after a long journey and chocolates on the pillows. Our son didn't want to leave when we left 🤣.

Delightful little home to stay in, everything you could need. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the local area. Quick communication from the host throughout including sorting a late check out. Perfect location for a Midlands meetup for geographically seperated working professionals

Lovely place in very quiet and peaceful surroundings. Fantastic for our dogs - the garden was fully enclosed with good dog walks close by. Would recommend and stay again. Thank you.
