If you are looking for somewhere to stay near Market Harborough that genuinely works for families, you are in the right place. The area has some wonderful options, but many standard hotels just do not offer the space, flexibility, or comfort that families actually need. That is exactly why I designed our properties the way I did, with proper beds, well-equipped kitchens, entertainment for all ages, and the kind of thoughtful details that make the difference between an average stay and a great one.

The whole space has been restored with families in mind, from baby cots and high chairs to Netflix, Xbox, and a fully equipped kitchen.
What makes The Loft special is the combination of genuine luxury and practical family features. Underfloor heating, air conditioning, luxury linens, original art, and a large dining balcony with lake views. But also a laundry room, filtered water, EV charging, and a smart lock for easy check-in. Everything just works.

2. The Barn, Clipston
For larger families or groups, The Barn is the one to look at. Also on the 14 Acres estate, it sleeps up to 8 guests plus 2 infants across three bedrooms. The standout feature is a floor-to-ceiling folding glass wall that opens the living space onto a private terrace and garden with a gas BBQ. It is amazing for summer stays.
A Note from Susan
“Market Harborough is one of those towns that families just love. Great shops, lovely cafes, and Welland Park is fantastic for children. What makes our properties work so well for families visiting the area is that you get all the space and comfort of a luxury home, but you are only 10 minutes from town. Guests often tell me it feels like having the best of both worlds.”
— Susan, Founder of Espais Roca
