    The Cow Shed was cosy, very comfortable and it had everything we needed to make the most of our stay. We loved the quiet, countryside location and enjoyed being able to take our little dog for a walk on the field right by the property. The bed...

Discover the tranquil serenity of The Cow Shed, a beautifully well appointed luxury barn conversion nestled in the lush countryside that borders the charming county of Rutland. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the rural landscape, and visit nearby attractions such as the charming town of Stamford & the picturesque Rutland Water, both just a short 15-minute drive away. This idyllic rural retreat is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and take a much-need break.
Hi, I am Rachel, a warm and welcoming host with a passion for providing exceptional experiences for my guests. Together with my partner, we live in the beautiful countryside of Lincolnshire with our daughter and two lively Spaniels. Having lived and worked in the area for many years, I have a deep appreciation for the peace and tranquility of the countryside. I understand the importance of having a comfortable and relaxing space to unwind, which is why I was thrilled to have the opportunity to convert a derelict cow shed into a luxury, self-contained living space. In 2022, I proudly introduced The Cow Shed as a place for friends, family and guests to stay and experience the beauty of the surrounding countryside. With my background in a people-centered role, I am always eager to connect with new people and make their stay as enjoyable as possible. Whether you are looking for a cozy place to relax, great food from the choice of many local eateries, or recommendations for local walks, I am here to make your stay memorable. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to make your time here better. Many thanks, Rachel
The Cow Shed is delightfully situated in the heart of the countryside between the Lincolnshire villages of Castle Bytham and Little Bytham, which borders the smallest county in the UK, Rutland. Ideally situated if you are looking to explore the surrounding countryside and the charming market towns of Stamford and Oakham. We are also very fortunate to have a number of historic stately homes on our doorstep: Burghley House, Belvoir Castle, Belton House and Grimsthorpe Castle Park & Gardens. There are two pubs in the local village as well as a community village shop run by local volunteers. There are ample country pubs to choose from in the surrounding area to pop into for a drink or bite to eat. The Cow Shed is also conveniently situated a short distance from the A1 so it's an ideal stop-off point if you are travelling further afield and you're looking for somewhere cozy and quiet to rest your head.
