Home Farm Heart of England
A rural escape for a restful and restorative break
With a calming sense of space and light, Home Farm in the verdant Leicestershire countryside is a haven for family gatherings and corporate getaways. Here, you can escape from the world, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee in the sun-filled lounge, relaxing with a book in the day room, or watching a movie in the wood-panelled snug. If the reception rooms offer peace and solitude, the kitchen is for socialising. Warmed by the Aga, it is equipped with everything from an instant hot water tap to dedicated drinks fridges. It opens into the orangery, with dining for up to 16 (or 20 at a squeeze), and a further dining table for more guests. Other luxuries include an indoor swimming pool, exquisite bathrooms with roll top baths and walk-in showers, and manicured gardens wrapping around most of the house, so you can follow the sun as the children play.
There’s space for ten guests in five luxurious bedrooms and, for larger parties, there are up to twelve further rooms in the converted stable block that you can book in addition. Home Farm sits in the grounds of an equestrian centre and is well-situated to explore, with Market Harborough and Rutland Water both nearby.
