About this property

NEW Luxury Countryside Retreat for Family and Friends

Welcome to your home in the East Midlands!

My air-conditioned, underfloor heated, spacious 2 bedroom loft, is a loving conversion of the standalone Victorian red-brick stable building at my family home, Rectory Farm, which is set in rolling countryside close to Market Harborough (1 hour by train to London).

It has literally just been converted for luxury modern living so everything is brand new and sparkling clean. It's filled with custom-made furniture, original art and fun gadgets.

The Loft is a large 135 sq metre / 1450 square foot space which welcomes friends and families or work colleagues travelling together. Ideal for those who want a relaxing and luxurious place to stay which is a world apart from the chain hotels and poor quality accommodation otherwise available.

If you are coming in a bigger group why not consider also booking my other 3 bedroom listing at the same location, The Barn - Its an amazing Indoor/Outdoor Living space with a 10 metre glass wall and its own garden that sleeps 8, or The Cottage, my romantic one bedroom that sleeps 4. Put together the three units offer sleep 18 adults and 4 infants and offer an amazing space for larger reunions and get togethers. Check my profile for more information.

• Amazing Base from which to explore - Rectory farm is conveniently located for Leicester, Market Harborough, Northampton, Rugby, Kettering and Corby.
• 10 minutes drive to Market Harborough for supermarkets, kids soft play, restaurants etc.
• Good dining in village pubs in Clipston, Sibbertoft and more (5 mins).
• 4 mins drive to Kelmarsh Hall if you are coming for an event or a wedding.
• Conveniently located for Kilworth House, Althorp, Towcester Racecourse, Leicester Racecourse, Silverstone and Donnington Park.
• EV Charger for Electric Cars (Charges for power used)

Wonderful home away from home

We had an awesome time at the Loft in Clipston. The house has everything you could possibly need. The grounds are beautiful and being close to Market Harborough is a real plus, as it is a lovely town. The loft has a fantastic kitchen and the bedrooms are comfortable and cozy. If you are looking for a great stay in the East Midlands this is an excellent spot! Thanks for having us, Susan!

The Beautiful Rectory Farm / Loft

We had a wonderful stay at the Rectory Farm for the Christmas Holidays. We stayed in the two bedroom loft which was perfect for our family. We saw some fantastic wildlife including a badger, ducks, birds and loved the rolling green English countryside.

More than just a luxury accommodation

My second stay at the loft, and again it delivered on all fronts. Everything has been considered here from the tranquil decor and use of light, to the modern conveniences and technology. Travelling a lot for work I have not found a better location for balancing a living space with the need to spend time working at the laptop. All of the amenities, fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard, and what really sets this location apart from others I have stayed at is the value Susan and her team put on service and support for your stay. I wont hesitate in booking again the next time I am headed that way.

Absolutely amazing stay!!!!

I recently stayed at The Loft for one weekend - it was amazing! There is nothing I can fault about this accommodation. I loved it so much that I stayed at the owners second property on the farm (the cottage) one month later. Both properties are beautifully decorated with amazing interior, spacious and include a number of extras including an Amazon Echo, Popcorn maker, milk, bread, jam and cereals provided. The owner is very helpful, friendly and easily contactable via WhatsApp - there is also someone who greets you upon arrival, which is extremely helpful as they show you how to use all facilities and answer any questions you may have. I found that the owner was happy to answer all questions and tries her best to accommodate for additional requests (ie. late checkout). Wifi worked well, the tv is already logged into a Netflix account and the owner allows you to walk in her acres of land. I would highly recommend this property and the cottage. Lovely host and I will definitely be booking a third stay soon!!!!

Picturesque location

The property is stunning! If you are looking for a retreat to the countryside, this is it. The Loft is beautifully appointed with gorgeous views, comfortable spaces and all the sweet touches that surprise you. A fresh loaf of locally baked bread, butter, milk and plenty of other treats to indulge in. Explore the farm with a pair of Hunter boots left for your use during your stay. We absolutely loved everything about The Loft, farm, host and comforts of the countryside retreat. Susan gave us many recommendations for pubs, parks, sites, etc. It really was a superb experience. We cannot wait to return.

Total Tranquility!

From the moment we arrived at The Loft we knew we'd discovered a real hidden gem! The Loft; originally an old stable block has been lovingly renovated to such a high standard. The property is located approx. a kilometre off the quiet country road, and set within acres of rural farmland. Designed as an Eco house the interiors have been tastefully decorated in neutral tones with all the living accommodation located on the upper level - taking maximum advantage of the stunning views across uninterrupted countryside. The two bedroom loft has two modern and spacious en-suite bathrooms, both come with luxury Ritual toiletries. If media entertainment is your thing … .fear not music and games are also on tap, the attention to detail in this place is just superb! An open plan kitchen / diner / living space makes cooking a sociable affair and either dinning on the terrace or inside, the views across the open farm land all add to the tranquility of this special place. Walks around the grounds are to be encouraged various ponds host numerous wildlife, we got quite attached to the gaggle of geese frequenting the gardens and ponds they even had goslings during our stay! Communication with the hosts was always extremely prompt, always on hand should we need anything, offers of food shopping or amenities were endless and we even received a lovely bottle of wine for our wedding anniversary which we celebrated whilst we were there. Every effort was made to make our stay both memorable and truly magical! This really is such a special retreat and we can't wait to return! Thank you to Tom, Susan & Dom for all your care and attention it was very much appreciated!!

Beautiful modern property in a beautiful setting

We really enjoyed our stay at The Loft. The owners were very welcoming & informative. The property is in a beautiful setting & has all the modern conveniences that a family could want. We particularly appreciated the very comfortable beds, the ample workspace with fast WiFi, the smart TV & access time Amazon speakers, the x-box & easy control of the lighting & air conditioning on well placed wall panels. Eating out on the balcony on a sunny day is a real treat, looking out on the duck pond. We would be happy to stay at this property again & any other properties owned by the same owners as, by the pictures, they all look as though the quality of the surroundings are important & they pay attention to the details. I highly recommend The Loft as a place to stay if you are planning to explore the Midlands or even further away.

Secluded luxury barn conversion with amazing balcony and views; with top level comfort

This barn conversion truly is an amazing experience, overlooking beautiful fields and rolling hills. A top notch, luxury 2 bed property that is spacious and in a very quiet location at the end of a very long, winding lane ensuring that peace and quiet are guaranteed. The highlight is a balcony overlooking a pond, where you can sit and watch the world go by. A well stocked kitchen ensures you can stay home and cook food from the excellent local farm shop, or there are a couple of good pub/hotels serving food 5m down the road. Overall a truly top level accommodation; if you book you won't be disappointed.

Where to start! What a place. My self and my partner really enjoyed this magical loft. we set out for a place that were we could re charge bond and silence the noise city life brings and this environment did just that. the staff on arrival were so welcoming, the place was clean and warm with enough tech to give you all the connivence you need whilst simultaneously creating a homely mood. The grounds are beautiful to walk around and the shops aren’t that far away for your basic needs. We are planing on visiting again in the summer.

Luxury accommodation in the countryside

We loved our stay at The Loft for 2 nights - the actual accommodation is done up to such a high standard. We felt like it was home away from home. Susan has done up the property herself and the little touches she has made can really be noticed -eg. Alexa, Rituals products, Wellington boots I felt like the property has everything you could need during your stay and if there is something missing then Susan is on hand to sort straight away. The rural setting of where the property lies just made the whole stay and experience that little bit more special- getting away from the city. We would love to stay at The Loft or one of the other properties again in the future!

A wonderful country retreat

We stayed in the loft for a week and it was perfect. The house itself is beautiful, having being carefully designed to ensure maximum comfort and style. We loved the huge windows and views from which we watched hares, pheasants, ducks, geese and even the landing of a hot air balloon. The loft was very baby friendly for our 18 month old with a stair gate installed for us, cot, high chair and black out blinds. Other features we loved were the showers, beds, the collection of hunter wellies, fully stocked coffee machine, great travel books and laundry. We loved walking on the property and visiting nearby places such as Foxton Locks, Mini Meadows farm and Kelmarsh gardens. Some great farm shops nearby and we cooked lots - but there are also great pubs to eat at in nearby villages. All communication with Susan was super efficient. Can’t wait to return

Fabulous holiday staycation

Having previously stayed at The Barn which is truly amazing, my husband and I decided to try The Loft. Again another truly stunning property. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. The added touches such as the fresh bread and jams were so welcoming and the wine went down a treat. Like all the other properties on the site, the Loft is “very smart” and has all the fancy gadgets that make them stand out. The heating, blinds and lights are all integrated and it even has couple of Alexas to make us feel at home. The beds and bathrooms are so luxurious, so much so that they would easily be deserving of 6 stars! Our host Susan has been great at the communication side of things. Nothing has been too much trouble. We have had a super time, and with such a stunning location and views to die for, we would highly recommend it so don’t hesitate to book such a fabulous place. You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back to try out one of the new properties once they are complete. Can’t wait! Thank you.

Luxurious and modern in bucolic surroundings

In an area hard to find accomodation the Loft was a real gem. We loved the quality of the amenities, and the modern design. We especially liked the study area as it allowed our student children to work in peace. The smart home setup (Amazon echo, smart lights, AC) is really neat. Looking forward to our next visit

About the host

Hosted by Espais Roca

Host profile image
Travel is life ! I love to meet people and help them discover the amazing places that I am lucky enough to call home.

When travelling, I believe that paying to stay in a place is a real treat, and when you do so the very least that you should expect is for it to be as comfortable and clean as your own home, or hopefully even better. For me, that means spaces that not only look amazing, but also cover the basics that are so often missing in holiday properties such as huge beds with fine linens and 100% blackout for a great nights sleep, plus Air Conditioning and Luxury amenities.

It's these simple luxuries that I make sure to provide for my guests when I am hosting too.

Why they chose this property

The Cottage is the place to come to reconnect with one another, to relax, recharge and enjoy the tranquility of our beautiful little slice of heaven just 1 hour by train from London St Pancras Station. Walk to the Village and enjoy home cooked food at the village pub and explore all the walks, canals, and excitement that the countryside has to offer. Go home relaxed, recharged and rekindled with the one you love.

What makes this property unique

The most beautiful location.

The most luxurious accommodation

An Victorian DoveCote restored for luxury modern living with its own dining deck and gas BBQ overlooking rolling fields as far as the eye can see.

Easily accessible from A14, M1 and M6 within 10-15 minutes.

55 minutes to London on the train from Market Harborough

Our wonderful local Market Town full of interesting shops and resturants and the hub of the local countryside.
