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.

A Wonderfull Place To Stay

This was the very 1st place that I found on VERBO/Homeaway that I felt would give me everything I would want for a stay in the UK. It was quiet, clean, very comfortable and had all the amenities one could want. I do understand why this spot got s gold award for the past 3 years. I will tell all that I know about the experience that I have had staying at the "1 The Green" in Mutton and it will all be great.

A bliss for soul

The cottage is situated in a beautiful peaceful village. There is lot of places of interest within 30mins drive or countless walks available. House is very well equipped, clean and the interior is very well designed. Utterly worth it.

Enjoyed our stay

Just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us hire your property. The house is beautiful, beds comfortable and in a very relaxing area. Certainly a home from home feel. The weather was kind to us too! I will definitely recommend it to my friends. Hopefully we will come again but for much longer. The Jeffers Family (Preston)

Beat property we have stayed in.

The cottage is situated in a peaceful rural environment yet just a minute or two's drive from the A52 with easy access to Grantham, Nottingham and beyond. The cottage itself is spacious and homely with every facility you could wish for. We loved it. Lynn has thought of everything and likes to communicate personally to ensure her guests are fully briefed about the cottage, its history and the local area. Fabulous!

A perfect place for all ages

This is a lovely property. It was very well appointed, comfortable and set in a beautiful and peaceful village. Perfect for a family of 6 (four adults and two children aged 5 and 8). The children enjoyed the front yard as well as the great playground (2 minutes away from the house). The area is rich in history (Belvoir, Grantham ...) and there are so many beautiful walks along the canals. From a practical point of view, it was very easy to get groceries in the nearby villages. I would highly recommend it to any family, providing the children are not unruly as the house has many antiques. Our grandchildren are used to that type of environment, so we had no problem. Even doing dishes by hand was not so bad! It was a time to catch up with our son. I am very glad I found this property as it allowed us to discover a beautiful part of the Midlands.
