kitchen

The annexe was homely, but a little tired in places. The owners clearly think of themselves quite highly which wasn’t reflected in their manners! We returned from a wedding and being pregnant I wasn’t drinking, unfortunately for them they’d forgotten to close their kitchen window. They had guests staying & we overheard their snobby & show off comments “can’t have been a very good wedding, their already home”, “he looked like a peaky blinder, without socks” which was incorrect. My fiancé had socks on & I don’t think a linen jacket & suede brogues are quite the peaky blinder look! 

Rude, judgmental & ignorant. Could barely look us in the eye in the morning & had the cheek to ask how our stay was, I replied “I think you owe us an apology”  the husband admitted they did. They sent a grovelling email after we had left. To say this ruined our weekend was an understatement and we would not return or recommend this as a place to stay.

Book with caution!

The accommodation was superb.  Beautifully decorated and sumptuous beds. 
 We enjoyed having breakfast overlooking the garden shared with 2 other accommodations!  However, we went on a very cold weekend  and having travelled 3 hours we were tired and hungry.  When we walked in we felt that the heating was NOT at all adequate.  The owner did try and put on the electric fire, but he couldn't work it, so left us!  We did manage to put it on, but we didn't want to leave the electric fire on while we went out to supper in a very nice pub nearby recommended by the owners.  When we came back we simply couldn't get warm and we both had to wear extra clothes on in bed.  Not fun!  We were very disappointed with breakfast as they had advertised croissants, but we had day old bread in a tin!  The icing sadly on the cake was we were rather taken aback at being given only 1 roll of loo paper!!  We would never go again and I certainly wouldn't recommend it!  A real shame as it is a lovely house with wonderful converted barns, really one  of the reasons we went there.  

Disappointed

We stayed just one night but excellent accommodation - very spacious - 2 rooms plus bathroom. More than enough for 2 people. The owners were very friendly. Bright and welcoming. Well appointed. All you need from a B&B. 

Very goid

We stayed at the Rectory Farm Annexe for three days while we attended the Birdfair at Rutland Water. The owners met us on arrival, were friendly and welcoming  and showed us our accommodation and left us keys. This is an annexe attached to the owner's main house with the front door to the annexe sharing a communal corridor with the owners and their two lovely dogs.It is self-contained and consists of a good sized living room, good sized bedroom and bathroom. The owners provide a very decent breakfast of croissant, bread, yoghurt, fruit, orange juice, milk and jams and marmalade. Some of the pots of jam were however past their best. The food is left each day in the fridge or on a small table in the living room as there is no kitchen. There are plenty of cups, glasses, plates and dishes but washing up has to be carried to the bathroom sink. There was a tea towel provided but we had to provide our own washing up liquid. The towels provided were very good quality but there was nowhere to hang our wet towels so we draped them on the bedroom radiators.

The accommodation was very clean, the comfy bed(s) can be configured as twin or large double and all rooms have lots of windows so are light and bright. The outlook was a little disappointing with views of the owners car just outside one living room window and cars in an adjacent barn from another window. There is no private garden just for the annexe but the french living room doors open out to a lawned area with the barn/garaging beyond. 

Castle Bytham is a really lovely village with two pubs both of which serve good food and are both within a 5-10 minute walk. As other reviews have mentioned this property is tucked away just by the road junction of Glen and Counthorpe roads with a somewhat narrow entrance actually on Counthorpe road.Having been fore-warned that it could be hard to find we researched on the internet and marked our map with the exact location.

We enjoyed our stay here, slept well and thought it was excellent value for money.
Thank you.

Excellent value for money

wow what a lovely place to stay the annex is joined to the stunning farmhouse via a hallway the annex is fitted to a very high standard a nice country feel . the village of castle bytham is 5 minute walk with 2 very nice pubs which serve food , The owners were very welcoming, we had to apologise to them the following day as my wife unknowingly locked them out by putting the latch on the door got a wake up  in the early hours but they were good sports and saw the funny side would highlyrecommend 

1 night stay

Stayed for one night visiting family nearby, with an 18month old, everything was just right, travel cot set up, rooms nice and warm and bed was really very comfortable. Great attention to detail like  having a full bottle of shower gel in the bathroom and some chopped fruit in a little Tupperware box to go with our muesli and yoghurt for breakfast. It really did feel like we were at home.

Spot on

This property is SUPER hard to find. You go through a VERY small, covered driveway (which I passed about four times) near a street corner and comes out in the courtyard. Apparently, this used to be an old farm - there are only the buildings and some apple trees left. The house itself looks ancient, but what I saw of it (my room), was comfortable and was very clean.  It let out to the hall and bathroom (not so clean) and a sitting room (pretty-ish). I never saw another room, but mine was connected to the main house and I had that part all to myself.
The owners seemed sort of "hands off".  They were very nice, but I felt they were somewhat put out that I was there. I could be wrong - but it was kind of uncomfortable.
Very nice bedroom. The sitting room had a fridge, cereal, yogurt and sandwich making - but there was no bread for toast or sandwiches. I would have loved to have a sandwich for both dinner (I got there without eating) and taken one for the road. 
The owner told me to ask if I needed anything, but they seemed to be busy with either a dinner party (?) at night or taking kids to school in the morning. There didn't seem a good time to ask and I didn't feel right busting into their house. 
*Bring your own soap and shampoo! And maybe a wash rag!*
You can barely turn around in the shower. Nasty old hanging bottle of soap (or something) in there.
The sitting room had a TV and all kinds of video games.
I did like the fact that you could lock/unlock both the front door and the one to my part of the house, which sounds silly, but I'm pretty sure this was basically a "mother-in-law" apartment connected to the main house.
When I was ready to leave in the morning, I couldn't find anyone and just left the keys.
All in all, I didn't think it was worth the drive.

Ummm...

The annexe is a self-contained part of this beautiful farmhouse, with everything you could possibly want. The owner is charming and provides the most delicious breakfast ,it arrives the night before and comprises scones, bread, jams, lemon curd, fruit - oh everything I could have wanted !  Plus excellent coffee fresh milk etc. It is not easy to find but it's worth the effort!
