Area guide
A cottage gathering on the National Forest fringe
This collection is for a countryside stay around Ashby, rather than a Leicester city-centre weekend. Upper Rectory Farm Cottages' listing describes converted farm buildings arranged as a cottage group. That can give separate households privacy, with the shared meal providing the point where the whole party comes together.
Compare the accommodation arrangements
Ask which cottages your quote includes, where guests will sleep and how the shared Refectory may be used. Confirm that the dining arrangement suits your actual headcount, and ask about access between buildings for anyone who would find steps or outdoor transfers difficult. Allocate rooms before guests travel, including anyone needing an earlier or quieter evening.
Start with the listed houses
- Upper Rectory Farm Cottages: read the current listing and ask the owner for a quote for your dates and guest numbers.
Plan the journey before booking
Use Appleby Magna or the full property address for arrival planning. Agree food delivery and visiting-caterer access with the owner before booking suppliers. An Ashby meal or National Forest outing can then be arranged around the cottage check-in and checkout times, with transport and tickets confirmed separately.
