Easter Bug Hunting and Crafts

If we see any events or activities who our guests may find interesting, we do try and share these on Social media. Keep an eye out our Facebook and Instagram pages and stories.

Of course, although there are so many organised activities, there are so many things to do in the area without spending money! You can enjoy the walking and cycle paths around Rutland Water free of charge, as well as enjoying the birds and wildlife on the reservoir easily accessible from the cottages. The fields around Rutland are full of gorgeous Spring lambs and daffodils and many local walks will take in this  view.

We do have some limited availability at both Puddle and Snowdrop Cottage in April and May and we keep the availability up to date here
