A couples’ retreat at The Cottage. Built around the idea of relax, reconnect and refresh. The most intimate of the three boutique stays on the 14 Acres estate, designed for couples wanting a slow-paced countryside escape with hotel-level finishes and the freedom of a private home. No spa product on-site, no group rooms, no shared spaces. Just the two of you, the Cottage, and the rolling-hills view.

What couples do at The Cottage
Walk the estate before the slow breakfast on the dining deck. Day-trip Market Harborough for the bookshops, the Friday market, the swimming pool, the cafes. Drive to Foxton Locks for the canal-side lunch (twenty minutes). Drive to Burghley House and gardens for the cultural afternoon (forty-five minutes). Eat dinner on the deck with the gas BBQ, or walk to The Bull’s Head in Clipston village for the proper pub dinner. London an hour by train if you want a city-day add-on.
Honest about what it isn’t
The Cottage isn’t a spa. No spa product on-site, no in-room treatment service, no hot tub. The couples’ retreat angle here is the Hypnos bed, the dining deck, the privacy, the walks, the slow-paced countryside, not a spa product. Massage and treatment options can be arranged off-site in Market Harborough on request.

No. None of the three properties on the 14 Acres estate have one.
How many nights do most couples book?
