The open-plan living space feels warm and welcoming, with leather sofas, a gas fire, and a 40-inch TV with DVD player – ideal for quiet evenings in. The dining area seats four, and the fully fitted kitchen includes a dishwasher, washer/dryer, kettle, toaster and all the crockery and utensils you’ll need for an easy self-catering stay. A bottle of chilled wine and fresh milk await your arrival.

The master double bedroom features a wooden four-poster bed and en-suite shower room, while the twin bedroom and family bathroom provide comfortable space for friends or family. Throughout, the décor combines natural wood and warm tones for a relaxed, homely feel.

Step onto your private fenced decking, designed so dogs can roam freely while you unwind in the outdoor hot tub or enjoy an evening BBQ. Rattan furniture makes it easy to sit back with a glass of wine and take in the quiet countryside views.

Eye Kettleby Lakes is surrounded by scenic walks – from gentle loops around the park to longer trails leading to Great Dalby (30 minutes) or Melton Mowbray (45-60 minutes). And when you’re ready to eat, the Lakes Bar & Tearoom has a dedicated dog-friendly section where guests can relax with breakfast, lunch or an evening drink alongside their companion.
