Luxury countryside cottage near Market Harborough from £129 per night, sleeping up to 6 adults, with a lake-view dining balcony on the 14 Acres estate.

How nightly pricing works
£129 is the everyday starting rate. The final price you see on the booking page adjusts for the season, the length of your stay, and event weeks (British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Burghley Horse Trials, Christmas, Easter). Most families and friends booking a longer break end up with a per-person, per-night cost well below a comparable Market Harborough hotel room. Everything is shown clearly before you confirm, no surprise fees once you’re on the page.
Meet Susan, your host
I’m Susan, the founder of Espais Roca and the person behind The Loft. The 14 Acres estate is where this brand started, a private chunk of countryside on the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire border that I lovingly restored with three boutique stays on it: The Loft (this one), The Cottage and The Barn. I designed every property myself, with families and friends in mind, because too many guests had told me they were fed up with sacrificing the luxuries they enjoyed as a couple once they started travelling as a family. We knew both were possible.
When you book The Loft, you’re staying somewhere I personally curate, not a faceless rental. I answer messages myself, I know which Market Harborough restaurants are worth the drive, and I’ll make sure your stay is exactly what you needed it to be.
What’s not in the price (so you can plan ahead)
- Cleaning fee is included in the nightly rate, not added on later
- Free parking on the estate, no permit, no surprise charge
- A refundable security deposit is held during the stay and returned in full when you check out without issue
- Local-area attractions (Silverstone, Burghley, Foxton Locks, Kilworth House Theatre, Market Harborough restaurants) are pay-as-you-go
