The Experience

Generations of Cholmeleys have managed the Easton Estate since 1561; today it’s Sir Fred who meets you at the door to the schoolmaster’s house. Burton-le-Coggles is the quaintest village on a traditional rural estate: just a church, a farm shop, a butchery and a pub with good food.

The cottage sits on the corner of the road in a garden scented by lavender, alliums, roses, lupins, sweet peas and apple trees, and a veg patch you are welcome to pick from. The light-filled kitchen overlooks the garden, the dining room has hundreds of books and the sitting room is cosy on winter days.

You’ll love the walking round here with plenty of OS routes to join, including a walk into Rutland and around the lake, or hire cycles for some gentle pedals. You have free access to Easton Walled Gardens, which are just up the road; you can have afternoon tea in the café, and sign up to various courses – from willow weaving to chocolate making. Visit Woolsthorpe Manor and Burghley House – both have cafes too.

Konstanze, München

One of the best holiday cottages we have been too. Nicely furnished, very clean, friendly welcome with fresh flowers and local produce. Location is great, too. We will certainly come back again.

This was our 3rd visit to the School House and once again we were delighted with the cottage. It’s very well furnished with all the extras you could hope for. The Cholmeley Arms, a few minutes away, serves really good, and large portions of, food and a good selection of beers and gins. Access to the Easton Estate gardens outside of “open hours” is a real bonus as you can explore to your hearts content. It’s definitely on our list of properties to visit again.

Janet, Shebbear

We booked a stay in The Schoolhouse as were visiting Lincolnshire for a wedding on 13th August. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully furnished as if someone had just stepped out for a moment. Everything was there we could wish for, including bread, cake, wine and sloe gin! The fitting out of the kitchen was particularly good and we even went and bought some of the Sophie Allport china to bring home! The bed was extremely comfortable, and to have a separate dining room made a small one bedroomed cottage appear very spacious. A gem!

Lovely accomodation, enjoyed location, local pub over the week. Daughters and friends came for a couple of nights and stayed at the pub. Nice chat to neighbours in old Post Office. Went to Wheatsheaf Inn one night - excellent. Also open air theatre nr Stamford, plus Belton Hall and grounds, plus Lincoln.

Barbara, Stone

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The School House. It is the best cottage we have stayed in. Every detail had been thought of. The cottage was perfect in every way. Convenient parking outside the gate. Enclosed and safe garden for our dog. Beautiful village with a superb pub within strolling distance with amazing food. Very friendly locals. Congratulations on the restoration of Easton Walled gardens they are beautiful and an added bonus that we could visit after hours with our dog. We cant speak highly enough of the cottage and will certainly return for another holiday. Thank you.

Location

The neighbourhood

This area of Lincolnshire is largely unspoilt, as is the village of Burton-le-Coggles: just a church, a farm shop and a cosy dining pub. For ‘proper’ shops there’s Corby Glen, a five-minute drive. You can follow nature trails through woods and vales, visit Grimsthorpe Castle and Belton House, enjoy numerous film, food and game fairs, and take advantage of free access to the estate’s walled gardens, a 20-minute cycle ride.

Local points of interest from Sir Fred Cholmeley

  • The School House was once the home of the School Master or Mistress, who taught at the village school. It was built in around 1830.
  • The School House is on the Easton Estate, owned by the Cholmeley Family since 1561. The Estate's pub, the Cholmeley Arms, is about 5 minutes walk away, and serves the most delicious food.
  • Easton Walled Gardens, the gardens of the former Easton Hall which have been lovingly brought back to life by the Cholmeley family are a short drive away. Guests at The School House have free, unlimited access to the Gardens during their stay with us.
  • The lovely market towns of Stamford and Oakham are within easy driving distance, as is Rutland Water. See Our Local Guide on our website for more things to do and see when staying with us.
  • There are many historic houses in the area, from Belvoir Castle to Belton House, and from Grimsthorpe Castle to Burghley House.
  • Lincolnshire is one of England's largest counties, and has hundreds of historic Churches within its borders.
