Living around Rutland water
Discussion
For many years have been coming up to Oakham and Stamford and really fancy moving here in the near future from Herts. Couple of places I've seen are Edith Weston and Manton right near the water but are there any other places worthy of thinking about preferably close to Rutland water? We don't need to be near schools or train links to London so no probs there just want a slower quieter pace of life with some decent views
Hi, we have lived in Stamford for nearly 30 years now and can certainly recommend the area. Empingham is our favorite around the water. North and South Luffenham may also be worth a look although not directly on the water, Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham are also all great small towns with a distinctly slow pace of life. If your budget runs to £1m plus then Hambleton is the place to be.

on paper it should be brilliant but it's got the worst service of any restaurant I've ever been in anywhere in the world and i'm not alone. Fox & Hounds in Knossington is the place to go.
Will have to give F&H a try. I have to say I have never experienced bad service, but then again it's not normally very busy when we go.Horse and Jockey PH up for sale if you fancy a career change (no views though)

To be fair anything with lakeside views is a little pricey - have you thought about the surrounding villages. Wing/North Luffenham, Preston, Langham
A little further afield you could look at harringworth/seaton with amazing welland valley views

(yes I know you may not be looking at pubs)
Not sure if the houses have been completed at Gunthorpe (small hamlet)

Pretty views in Hambleton - the Finches is dire though
You've always got Hambleton Hall ;-) And there is the resident petrol head with the "holy trinity"
