The historic market town of MELTON MOWBRAY has a train station (built in 1846). Trains connect the town directly to destinations such as Birmingham New Street, Leicester, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport. There is a limited number of direct services to London each day. In Melton Mowbray town centre, guests will find a range of shops / amenities / places to eat. Anne of Cleves pub / restaurant is one of the oldest buildings in Melton Mowbray, first built in 1384. See the 'Discover Melton' web site for more information. The property is also located about 8 miles from the historic market town of Oakham and 11 miles from Rutland Water - where Hambleton Peninsula is a favourite area to walk and eat with a water's edge view. Hambleton Hall is highly recommended for fine dining, while the Finch's Arms serves more pub-like food, but there are numerous other options. It's worth doing a deep dive into this area and its many water / nature activities, etc. See the 'Discover Rutland' web site for more information.
