Nestled in the picturesque village of Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire, is this charming two-bedroom end-terrace cottage, Periwinkle Cottage. Boasting a wonderful history dating back to the mid-1700s as a former millworkers cottage, and beautiful views overlooking the River Soar, Periwinkle Cottage is a delightful pet-friendly holiday home for a couple or family of three, plus their two canine companions. Step into the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, where you can conjure up a delicious feast for your loved ones, ready to savour at the dining table for three. On warmer days, why not fire up the barbecue in the rear enclosed garden and dine alfresco, as your four-legged friends stretch their legs? After dinner, retire to the sitting room, with underfloor heating, where you can snuggle up on the plush seating and select a much-loved show from the Smart TV, as your pooches curl up in front of the crackling woodburning stove. Climb the stairs up to the first floor where you can indulge in a soothing soak in the bath or freshen up with a shower in the Jack-and-Jill bathroom. As your eyes grow heavy, choose from two well-appointed bedrooms, a king-size with views over the garden, and a single. You won’t have to venture far when you don’t feel like cooking, with the popular Navigation Inn right on your doorstep, offering a tasty menu and local ales, ideally followed by a leisurely stroll along the picturesque canal. The village also offers further dining options, including The Moorings and Soar Bridge Inn which rest along the river, along with a well-stocked convenience store, the Barrow Boating hire service for leisurely rows along the river, and a railway station offering easy links to the surrounding areas. Mountsorrel rests nearby and offers the attractions of the Stonehurst Family Farm and Motor Museum, the Mountsorrel & Rothley Community Heritage Centre and the wildlife rich nature reserves of LRWT Cossington Meadows and Mountsorrel Meadows Nature Reserve. Continue onto Rothley, where you can test out your swing at the Rothley Park Golf Club, hop aboard a vintage steam train at the Great Central Railway, or hook your catch of the day at Willows Farm Fishing. The thriving city of Leicester awaits, with its plethora of museums, including the National Space Centre, the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery and the Newarke Houses Museum, there is also the popular De Montfort Hall and the nearby Tropical Birdland. Your Leicester adventure awaits with a stay at Periwinkle Cottage.
