The Walled Garden Bed & Breakfast is a self-contained cottage situated on a south facing private garden, in open countryside, 300 metres from the banks of Rutland Water. Barnsdale is 3 miles from the market town of Oakham and 7 miles from the historic town of Stamford. Both Oakham and Stamford offer excellent shopping opportunities, cafes, restaurants and bars.

The cottage has been tastefully refurbished and decorated to offer a really comfortable and relaxing stay. It offers a large double bedroom with king-size bed, kitchen, dining area, sofa and newly fitted bathroom. There’s also a flat-screen tv that you can watch from the sofa or from the comfort of your bed.

The Walled Garden is inside the internationally renowned Rutland Water Nature Reserve and is an ideal location for:

• Cycle Hire (we are on the Rutland Water cycle route)
• Fly Fishing
• Walking
• Bird Watching

The Walled Garden Bed & Breakfast is a short walk from Barnsdale Lodge Hotel, which has a superb restaurant and bar, and borders Barnsdale Hall Hotel and Country Club which offers swimming, fitness and health spa, bars, restaurants, golf and tennis. This is a great place to stay if you are attending a wedding or event in Barnsdale.

The Walled Garden is truly a unique place. Not many Bed and Breakfasts allow you total privacy during your stay. At The Walled Garden you have you own cottage containing everything you need.

Your homemade breakfast is prepared in advance so that you can help yourself when it suits you. There’s plenty of tea and coffee. You also have access to a small, well supplied kitchen plus dining area so you can enjoy your breakfast in your own time. There’s a comfy sofa and tv and lots of room to relax. On sunny days you can step outside and enjoy the view of a beautiful, tranquil garden and immerse yourself in the English countryside.

This is just a flavour of the Walled Garden. Come and experience it for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you.
