Location
Tell us more about the Bee Cottage Rutland.
The Bee Cottage Rutland is a historic 16th-century thatched cottage located in Cottesmore village, near Rutland Water. With original exposed beams, a wood-burning stove, and ample living space, it can accommodate up to five guests. Originally a doctor’s house, it offers a charming and picturesque stay.
Despite its quaint appearance, the cottage has a generously sized living space. Featuring a separate seating area around close to a wood burner, a cozy reading corner, and a tranquil conservatory perfect for enjoying a cup of tea, this property is ideal for relaxation. The bright dining room, located between the kitchen, lounge, and conservatory, provides ample space for leisurely breakfasts or dinner for up to six guests.
Upstairs, two exquisitely appointed bedrooms await, complete with crisp linens and plush towels. The third bedroom is conveniently located on the ground floor and offers direct access to the garden. Take a look at these photos to see how our Gardener Paul has taken care of the garden
