About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A rural retreat. Great for family holidays and get-togethers.

1 The Green is a delightful 4 bed-roomed holiday cottage in the village of Muston in the Vale of Belvoir (pronounced “Beever”).

This house is a favourite with dog walkers, families and for family reunions and weddings. It is cosy in the winter and peaceful in the summer. Many guests are returners.

The house is actually two farm cottages joined together to make a family house of four bedrooms with gas central heating. The house is newly restored in a sympathetic style using natural ecological paint, and is furnished with antique pieces to suit the house. There is an ample supply of glassware, china and linen. There is a large kitchen with electric stove, microwave oven, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble drier; a large sitting- room with television and open fire and an elegant separate dining- room/study.

There are two double bedrooms with double beds and two single bedrooms. There is a bathroom, shower room and a downstairs cloakroom. Outside there is a large front lawn, and at the rear a patio garden. A small conservatory serves as a store for bicycles, walking gear and garden furniture.

Lyn’s directions were clear and concise. The property is indeed very suitable for a family gathering (we hosted 10 for lunch). Lovely garden area! Several top notch pubs in the area. The house is well-equipped, but we found the towels a bit dated (easy fix for the owner). For older guests, the stairs are a narrow and a bit steep, need to use caution. We were unable to find extra toilet rolls; fortunately we had just enough!

I want to leave an honest balanced review. The house is in a lovely area for walks and to drive to some nice villages / attractions.The owner let us check in an hour earlier so we could drop off some groceries which was much appreciated. The cleaners were not there so it was ready for us anyway. The house itself is quite dated and still has a lot of things/ ornaments there belonging to its owners (current owner’s late parents) which we are asked to not touch. The furniture is a bit wobbly. Some things need fixing like loose door/ cupboard handles. Kitchen is well stocked but we had to wash everything before using. The shower was blocked and as the owner lives a long way away and it was a BH weekend so plumber not available, my husband had to spend time cleaning it after fashioning a plunger with whatever was available! The owner had told us there was another shower over the bath which we could just use - true but we specifically booked a house with 2 showers as there were 6 of us. The cleaner did come over the next day with some drain cleaner to use and some towels (as not enough there for us all when we arrived). We left behind a charger which the owner very generously said she’d have posted to us but unfortunately it never arrived. We did have a lovely weekend but not because of the house.

The house was a great location for a family birthday. We particularly loved that there was a pub 15 minutes walk away which served all you can eat breakfast which was a great birthday treat without needing to cook.

We stayed at this property in November 2025. The house was warm and welcoming for our family reunion. The kitchen was about the best equipped of any holiday property I have used and makes such a difference. The lounge was comfortable, as were the bedrooms. As we brought our dog we were pleased that the gardens were secure. All in all, it was the perfect place for us and we would consider using it again.

Communication with the host is very good. Clear instructions for the property. The house is very comfortable to holiday in. We have stayed a few times and always enjoyed our time there. It does accommodate various age groups and we had a one year old with us. Although we had to shield the glass cupboard. A lovely property with a childrens play park within walking distance. If you have a dog, there are so lovely places to go all walkable from the property. A lovely farm shop selling fresh eggs. Its a great place for a relaxing holiday.

We really enjoyed our long weekend stay at 1, The Green. The cottage is full of character and exceptionally well equipped – it even had hair tongs! It felt homely and comfortable, and was the perfect place to return to after some picturesque walks along the old Grantham Canal and a visit to Belvoir Castle. Lynn was a fantastic host – communication was excellent throughout. When we encountered a minor issue with the boiler on arrival, she swiftly arranged an emergency callout on the Friday evening, which we really appreciated.
