Glebe House Muston

Country house hospitality

You arrive along an avenue of ancient chestnut trees to a warm welcome at Glebe House. This was the Rectory in Georgian times but for over forty years it has been Carole and Andrew’s family home. They, and Barker the dog, will greet you with tea and cakes (home baking is a true speciality here) in the Music Room with its grand fireplace, and soon you’ll feel at home. You can then unwind and relax in the sumptuous luxury of your bedroom.

Taking inspiration from the house’s Georgian heritage the guest rooms are spacious, light and beautifully decorated with period furnishings. The finishing touches, appreciated by Wolsey Lodge guests: fresh flowers, tea and coffee with some home baked treats, luxury linens, toiletries, slippers and bathrobes – they’re all there in every room. There are three guest bedrooms usually offered on a bed and breakfast basis, two ensuite and one with a private bathroom. For larger groups or families there are another couple of bedrooms that can be bought into use but these will be sharing the private bathroom.

Glebe House Muston B&B suggests

Outside are sixteen acres of grounds and walks to explore. There are orchards, ornamental ponds, a rose garden, paddocks, a kitchen garden and a wildflower meadow walk. For the contemplative there are magnificent views of Belvoir Castle and the Vale of Belvoir; for the vicious there’s a croquet lawn! Guests are encouraged to hang around all day if they wish, though many strike out to visit various National Trust properties and other places of interest in this beautiful corner of the East Midlands. It is unspoilt but you will be spoilt for choice, so spoil yourself and be spoilt at Glebe House Muston!

Location

There are wonderful villages, churches and National Trust Properties to discover in this unspoilt part of rural England.  Carole and Andrew are full of knowledge about the many local attractions that can be enjoyed. For walkers and cyclists there is the Viking Way and Rutland Water.
