Lovely large quirky property with a great kitchen-diner for 6. Clean, well furbished, and well-equipped, and very comfy beds. Welcome basket was appreciated. Easy access to a well-enclosed garden which the dog loved. Short drive to Melton Mowbray, through lovely countryside.

The Old Sweet Shop sits in the heart of the picturesque village of Burrough on the Hill. Once a butcher's and sweet shop, the space is now a mosaic of architectural nooks and quirks, complete with luxury amenities, ethically-sourced furnishings, and modern entertainment. Bedrooms are low-beamed and cosy. Living spaces are bright and airy. Outside, a traditional English walled-garden boasts a wood-fired hot tub and dining area. Rural walks and a Michelin-recommended pub are a stone's throw away.
Hi, I love developing holiday home environments that are relaxing and inspiring. Importantly, I enjoy doing this in a way that employs sustainable practices wherever possible, from furnishings to energy provision. We think this produces the peace of mind your staycation deserves.
The Setting. The Old Sweet Shop sits in stunning rural surrounds atop one of the highest peaks in Leicestershire. The village, Burrough on the Hill, hosts a handsome medieval church and the Iron-age hill fort of Burrough Hill. The fort is a stunning natural feature and site of great archeological significance. A short stroll from the house is the Michelin-recommended eatery, The Stag and Hounds, which draws visitors from across the region. Rolling hills extend for miles around, popular for walking and cycling. Nearby, the historic towns of Oakham and Somerby provide a wide range of high-end, independent shops, restaurants and cafes, including the famous Gates Garden Centre for the plant-lovers among us. All together Burrough on the Hill is a somewhat hidden gem that is peaceful, well-catered for; a perfect destination for outdoor activity and rural recuperation.
