Don't forget to look up!
The dark skies over Rutland have been truly stunning the last few weeks. First the Northern Lights, and then the Comet and Hunter's Moon last night ✨
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) over Normanton Church Rutland Water this evening. Not an easy target especially with the full moon, although the moon light does a nice job of lighting up the Church.

Puddle Cottage is a 4 star cottage, within walking distance of Rutland Water including Rutland Sailing Club and Rutland Water Fishing Lodge.
Puddle Cottage is a traditional, character stone cottage built in the 1800’s in the heart of Edith Weston, a popular Rutland village on the south shore of Rutland Water. With one large bedroom which can offer a super king sized bed, or two full size single beds, the cottage can sleep two comfortably. We are proud that the cottage holds a 4 star rating by the Quality in Tourism Board for self-catering accommodation, along with the ‘Walkers Welcome’ & ‘Cyclists Welcome’ awards.
The cottage is just a short walking distance to the shores of Rutland Water, the sailing club and walking distance to Rutland Water Fishing Lodge. Within 8 miles of Puddle Cottage also lie the market towns of Oakham, Stamford and Uppingham, making the cottage the ideal place to explore all that Rutland has to offer. Popular venues such as Normanton Church, Burghley House, Barnsdale Hall Hotel and Barnsdale Lodge as well as Rockingham Castle are nearby.
Puddle Cottage offers the traditional charm of a cottage, maintaining its original stone walls, exposed timberwork and open fire. Yet it offers all the modern facilities you would expect such as a recently renovated bathroom, gas central heating, refurbished breakfast kitchen with new appliances and a granite sink, and a large flat screen TV with Freeview and DVD player. WIFI is also available to our guests free of charge. We happily accommodate well behaved dogs and there are many fantastic walks locally. We want your stay to be as comfortable as possible, so we have filled Puddle Cottage with books and games which you can enjoy in front of the log fire in the winter or the cottage garden in the summer.
Whether you are looking for an action packed break sailing, windsurfing, fishing, walking, cycling, or bird watching, a laid back retreat to enjoy the market towns and fantastic local produce, are visiting for a wedding, or are looking for a cosy, romantic weekend away, then Puddle Cottage is for you.
We look forward to welcoming you to Puddle Cottage
