Bird watchers
will find good areas close to the house [we see
Ospreys most years now] and we are very close to
the bird and nature reserve at Egelton. Rutland
Water has S.S.S.I status and is renowned as one
of the best places in the UK for bird watching.
The
British Birdwatching Fair is held annually
at Rutland and we are happy to take bookings for
this prestigious event. The dates for 2009 are
August 20th-30th.
Another prestigious
event,
The
Burghley Horse Trials, takes place on the
3rd-6th Sept 2009. Please note there is a
3 night minimum stay for these events.
For cyclists and walkers the Rutland Water cycle
path [18 or 26 mile circuits] passes our garden.
Water sports are well catered for at Whitwell,
with sailing and windsurfing and there's the
sailing club at Edith Weston on the south shore.
For general holidays, we are in the middle of
one of the most beautiful areas of England, the
ancient county of Rutland is famous for it's
rolling countryside, timeless villages with
thatched cottages, village greens and
traditional pubs. Visit the towns of Oakham and
Uppingham, and the picturesque unspoilt villages
of Hambleton, Wing, Exton, Braunston etc. and
Stamford, a lovely old market town, is only a
few miles away.
There are good places to eat close by:- The
Finches in Hambleton for good food and a
friendly atmosphere is highly recommended as are
the White Horse at Empingham, the Noel Arms at
Whitwell, Barnsdale Lodge Hotel, The Plough at
Braunston and various restaurants and take-aways
in Oakham.

For the fisherman Rutland Water is world famous
for the quality of it's trout fishing and
whether the fish are obliging or infuriating you
will always have a rewarding day from the bank
or boat. You will find a good selection of
angling books etc. and we've decorated one room
with pictures, flies etc. with the angler in
mind [we are all fishers in this house]. Just a
short stroll away from the house are Barnsdale
Road End, Barnsdale Creek, Steep Bank [Cardiac
Hill??], Dickinson's Bay, Burley Reach etc. all
very good hot spots, and don't forget Tim
Appleton's for the big Brownies! Rob, who
fishes most days can usually let you know the
latest method, flies or catching place, some
days you can see fish rising from the house! We
offer a drying room, freezer, a packed lunch and
smoking facilities if required. All tackle and
flies, from size 22 dries to some more elaborate
concoctions, are available from the fishing
lodge at Normanton.
Please let us know any special requirements and
what time you would like breakfast, if you come
late, please try to be as quiet as possible, if
you want to smoke please do so outside and we
hope to see you again, soon!
Enjoy your stay!
