We’re Steve and Hanri, proud hosts of Bee Cottage Rutland, a lovingly restored holiday cottage in the heart of the countryside. Since 2018, we’ve welcomed guests looking for a peaceful escape with a personal touch.

Steve, a former teacher, now crafts handmade furniture from reclaimed wood—his work adds character throughout the cottage. Hanri is a local yoga teacher and runs an online sewing pattern business, adding creative, personal touches to the space.

We got married in Italy last year and share our love of simple living with guests, along with local tips and experiences. You’ll find our top 5 things to do in Rutland on the blog page – perfect if you’re planning a walking holiday, romantic break, or just a relaxing week away.

We love exploring the area with our rescue dog, Arnie, and we’re always happy to recommend walks, cafes, or hidden gems.

Book your stay at Bee Cottage Rutland and discover comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality.
