Nibelheim

Everything you need for a larger group is already here. Nibelheim comes with bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and electricity included. The kitchen has an electric cooker, range, microwave and coffee machine, so you can prepare meals from scratch or keep things simple. There's a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a living room with a wood burner for cooler evenings. One dog can stay free of charge.

Six bedrooms across two floors give space for 11 people: five doubles and a single, with five bathrooms between them. Most of the doubles have their own ensuite, and there's a separate shower room on the ground floor. The property is detached with parking for two cars on site. The back garden has a pond and sitting-out area with furniture; note that the pond is unfenced. Smoking is not permitted.

Desford is a quiet village 8 miles from Leicester city centre, with bus connections into town for theatres, shops and restaurants. Walking routes start from the doorstep across Leicestershire countryside. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
