Wren Cottage

Lovely location, lovely cottage.

Nice pubs within a short distance. Ideal for exploring the wider Rutland area. We will be back.

A lovely cottage situated in the middle of a quiet, pretty village in a beautiful area - lots to see and do in Rutland.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed spending time in the lovely enclosed garden, which was perfect for us and our dog. The kitchen was well-equipped and there's a very useful utility room. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the TV included BBC iPlayer and ITVX, which was an unexpected bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect cottage.

Very clean and comfortable in a great location.

Perfect cottage for a weekend away; very clean and cosy, with lovely crisp bedlinen.

and calm neutral colours. Well equipped kitchen for entertaining and garden with outdoor table and brolly was so welcome in this hot and humid summer ! A really nice, easy atmosphere; a quiet and peaceful village; good dog walks (lots of sheep so lots of walking on leads); Finch's Arms on Rutland Water great pub with good food (busy..you need to book) and Hambledon Bakery Café for Sunday breakfast (and amazing cinnamon buns) completes the weekend wish list. Excellent communication and a friendly 'Welcome' message from the owner. I would highly recommend this cottage.

A lovely comfortable cottage with a Beautiful long garden which we used a lot during our stay.

Very quiet location in the village of Wing. We were very happy with the place, and the facilities. The only thing you have to get used to is the shower. It is a tap mixer shower that is hand held, so you have to find a new way of washing yourself one handed, and in your knees, or sitting in the bath! Overall, we were happy with the place, and we had a lovely time.

My wife and I, along with our little dog, had a lovely week at Wren Cottage.

Not only is the house very cosy and well equipped, the garden is wonderful too with lots of native planting attracting lots of insects and birds. Wing is a beautiful village and extremely well located for walks directly from the cottage or for visits to nearby attractions. The property was very well equipped and comfortable. My wife did miss not having a hair dryer, but other than that we found everything we needed. We will definitely book again should we be looking for somewhere in the area.

What a gorgeous little property.

So well fitted out, so comfortable and so clean. We felt so at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage garden is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Wing is a beautiful small village and well worth a stroll around. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked another week later in the year while we were there.

Wren Cottage is a beautiful property in a pretty peaceful village.

We were very comfortable and cosy, and had everything we needed. Many thanks to the owners for providing milk, coffee, tea and biscuits. There is plenty of useful information provided about the cottage, and the local area. We enjoyed relaxing and reading the magazines and tourist information which were thoughtfully provided. The furnishings and equipment in the cottage are very good quality, and everything has been thought of with care. This is a superb cottage and would not hesitate to return.

This pretty cottage was very warm and comfy.

Everything was there you might need, and was well cared for. Good quality bedding etc. We shall be back one day.

This property is fantastic and the owner is lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Wren Cottage.

It was warm and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen space was great and we managed to cook successfully on the Rayburn and eat around the table. The dog enjoyed exploring the garden and some local walks. Wing is a very pretty village. The owners were helpful and we would definitely come again.

Lovely cottage, well-equipped and clearly cared for.

Definitely one of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in.

We had a superb stay in this beautiful cozy cottage.

It was immaculately clean and well decorated. The owners left several touches to make the stay welcoming and comfortable. The garden was secure for our small labradoodle. We’d love to stay again next time we are in the area.

We had a very good and pleasant stay at the cottage, to some extent also to the dry weather with occasional sun.

There are plenty of nice locations in the vicinity to visit, and the walks we had there gave us much satisfaction. The cottage is cosy, and the interior suited as fine, as well as the location in a small and old, attractive village. The temperature regulation was beyond our capabilities, it was warm, but we were out most of the time, and maybe the CV could have switched off when we left the house. This is not to criticize the owner - it was more the feeling that less fuel could have been spent (being foreign might be the reason we could not adapt the heating system). Next time we come, we will certainly see to it that we can adapt the system to cut the fuel consumption. So, in summarizing our stay: we hope to return to this cottage, and we would certainly like to thank the owner for the pleasure and comfort Wren cottage gave us when staying there !

Well maintained property in nice little village, ideally situated, logistically right for our purposes.

Pity the pub was closed. Just one problem, very noisy hot tap in the upstairs bathroom.

Beautiful cottage, lovely and clean.

The milk and biscuits that were left were very much appreciated and the fresh flowers was a really nice touch. Very quiet village location. Would definitely stay again if it was available the next time we were staying in the area.

Wren Cottage is an absolute joy.

The location is perfect, the house was spotlessly clean and the owners have thought of everything, right down to a rainy day box full of things for younger guests to do if going out isn’t an option. We had an unexpected welcome pack and there were fresh flowers waiting to welcome us in. The garden is the jewel in the crown and we spent many hours just chilling surrounded by wonderful plants enjoying the abundant wildlife. I would recommend Wren Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. I would not, however, recommend Sykes Cottages. All of my attempts to contact them went unanswered. My messages via WhatApp were ignored and I could not contact the owner of the cottage about my query because Sykes have not updated the owners contact details, despite being asked to do so. A poor customer service all round, which is a shame because otherwise this would have been a perfect holiday.

The cottage is very nice place to stay .

great for exploring the area .great pubs near by . The cottage its self has every thing you neen fro a great break . Would fully recomend .will be looking to book again

This holiday let is just perfect for a couple, it’s located in a very tranquil and retired village.

We loved walking our dog for a walk across the fields, crossing the railway line to Rutland water. Sadly, the local pub is closed, so again we were unable to visit there. There are lots of small town centres to browse, along with Burghley Park. This is our second visit & we just like coming here to be in a quiet location & chill at our own leisure. We hope to squeeze in another visit at the end of the year!

We had a lovely week here in April 2025 - everything we needed, hosts were very helpful and friendly.

The cottage has been tastefully decorated with all the home comforts. The garden was beautiful and safe for our wee dog who is losing her sight. Fantastic quiet and peaceful. We will return!!

This the second time we stayed at Wren Cottage, and it was lovely.

It was very clean and comfortable and lovey and warm. In fact it was very homely. We loved our week there.

Although we booked in November, when the days are short and everything is almost out of season or closed.

We still managed to have a lovely short stay in Wren cottage. If anything we ran out of time to go to places and explore, but we hope to re-book and return to do more walking and exploring. The cottage is set in a very relaxing & sleepy village, we loved it. Thank you to Alex for the welcoming biscuits, tea and milk. XX

Absolutely stunning property.

Cosy, quiet cottage which is beautifully decorated with a lovely garden. We loved our stay there. Thank you.

We absolutely loved our week staying at Wren Cottage!

It was a real home from home. It was clean and cosy, with every convenience that we could have wished for. A lot of thought and effort has been put in by Alex and Ian (the owners), and it showed through. We thoroughly recommend Wren Cottage and will definitely be back.

A lovely cottage and pretty garden in excellent location for our first visit to Rutland.

The cottage had everything we needed with very comfy bed. First time using Rayburn but no problem. Hand held shower was only issue for hubby but we were aware of this prior to booking. The biscuits and flowers were a lovely touch. The locals we met were so friendly and helpful. Food at The Kings Arms was excellent for 45th wedding anniversary meal.

Wren cottage is just lovely.

The bedding and towels are absolutely gorgeous. It is very well appointed, with nice kitchen table wares and just about everything you could need. Highly recommended and a lovely area to visit. For us best restaurant was the Fox but used several others and didn’t experience any problems.

Beautiful cottage in every way.

Garden was lovely. Look forward to another visit next year!

Very enjoyable stay.

Lovely cottage and garden. Used the farm shop, which had most essentials and lovely fresh eggs, only 5 minutes outside of the village. Very quite and relaxing.

Lovely cottage and garden.

We eventually found a parking spot that didn't inc

We loved everything about the cottage and garden.

Perhaps a shower screen on the bath would make showering easier but that was a very small issue for us. Interesting and peaceful village well placed for exploring Rutland and the surrounding area.

What an absolutely amazing place to stay.

The cottage had everything you could ever need, it was comfortable, clean, warm and parking was brilliant. We got to ride on the bikes straight to rutland waters and Hambletons bakery, both were amazing. Short distance into nearby villages. Loved every minute. Will definitely be returning.

Wren cottage was perfect for my dog Nellie and me, the garden was beautiful and very nice seating.

Wing village is stunning the sand stone houses and lovely gardens. Excellent walks for the dog. Met friends at the Kings Arms for lunch what a delicious meal. Really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful county.

Perfect cottage for a quiet restful stay.

Everything we could need. It really felt homely & comfortable. The pub a bonus with great food & welcoming staff. Safe & secure garden for our dog. Would definitely visit again. Just perfect thank you.

Raeburn cooker was a bit difficult to master and a bit noisy.

Amazing cottage lovely location.

Ideal for Rutland water. Amazing welcome pack. All the facilities of home.

The house was amazing, it was so comfortable and we had everything we needed.

We could not have asked for a better week. The biscuits, tea, coffee and milk were very welcome, and we loved the recipe ideas for the arga. We went to the horse and jockey for a meal in Manton, and we loved it. The village was so pretty and the people who lived there were very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful week. We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay.

Everything was perfect for us. Very comfortable and cosy. Very clean. Lovely little garden for our chihuahua. Ideal location for our plans. Great communication from the owners, although we didn’t need them for anything. Would stay there again.

Very clean and nicely appointed cottage.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommended!

well appointed, very cosy.

Immaculately clean. Slight ongoing problem with the hot water noise but were made aware on arrival and its being sorted. Delightful location.

Another lovely stay at Wren Cottage.

Very clean, comfortable and peaceful.

Great village setting, quiet with excellent pub just a few yards.

Further wide it is an attractive rural area with attractive towns and Rutland Waters. Wren cottage, in the main, was clean, tidy and comfortable. It disappointed where the garden, front and rear, was borderline unkempt; certainly for a commercial purpose. The main disappointment was from the plumbing, so much noise in the heating and transfer of water. Shower capability is restricted to "hand held" with minimal tile usage to waterproof. Lack of anti slippage supports were an irksome element that could prove a danger. Saying this we had a excellent response from the owners in them providing bath mats. I would like to go Wren cottage agai

This was our second stay at Wren Cottage, a really lovely cottage in a peaceful, friendly village.

It's a perfect place to unwind. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need, a lovely room to eat in or just relax. The lounge is comfortably furnished and cosy, where you can watch telly or just snooze (which we did quite often!). The long cottage garden is beautiful and another great place to sit and relax, weather permitting. It's also very dog friendly and has a gate near the bottom of the garden, so you can restrict access if you wish, very handy at night to prevent your dog from disappearing up into the darkness! Upstairs, the bedrooms are very comfortable and we always had a good night's sleep. The owners, Alex and Ian, are very friendly and accommodating, and provide lots of information regarding the cottage and local places of interest. The village itself is lovely to walk round, with an interesting history. The Buttonhole cafe at Wing Hall is a lovely place where you can sit outside or in, and the staff very friendly, open Thursday to Sunday. The nearby King's Arms is handy and serves good food, very pricey, but also friendly. We didn't go too far afield on this holiday but did enjoy trips to the Lyndon Nature Reserve and Normanton Church at Rutland Water and also the Horse and Jockey at Manton, which serves good pub grub and the staff once again are very good. Uppingham is a short drive away, with many places of interest and a handy Co Op. Thank you for another lovely and relaxing holiday, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place in a great location.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely village with a traditional garden.

Loved the facilities and the layout and just felt so comfortable there. Had a query and messaged Alex who replied immediately.

Lovely, well equiped cottage and private garden.

Homely and spotlessly clean. Appreciated having a sheet in addition to the duvet on the bed as the weather was very warm when we were there. We enjoyed our stay with our dog exploring Rutland.

Beautiful cottage in a tranquil and pretty village.

Ideally placed for trips to Uppingham and Oakham and within walking distance of Rutland Water, it did not disappoint in any way. The cottage was made available to us earlier than expected which was great as we could have lunch in the delightful garden. The kitchen was cosy and extremely well equipped and the cottage was scrupulously clean and comfortable. A great stay.

Lovely comfy cottage and beautiful garden.

A lovely cute and peaceful cottage, easy to find and very near Rutland water.

Lovely quiet and friendly village. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will hopefully visit again.

Lovely cottage and garden in a charming village.

The owners provide everything that is required but then respect the privacy of the guests, so a relaxing stay can be enjoyed

A delightful, spotlessly clean cottage kitted out to a very high standard.

We quickly fell in love with the charm of Wren Cottage and were sad to leave as it was so homely and welcoming. The owners, Alex and Ian have thought of everything! It’s a perfect cottage with its own garden to explore the beautiful county of Rutland.

I loved my break.

The cottage is delightful and has everything you could wish for highly recommended The hostess was available if required and very helpful I will certainly visit again

Lovely cottage in a great village, well equipped and comfortable.

Will be back in the spring.

Beautiful cottage and garden.

Very comfortable. Hope to visit again soon.

My husband and I had a lovely weekend away in this charming cottage.

The lounge is so cozy and the garden was a lovely place to sit when the sun was out (we lucked out with the weather for beginning of October in England). Our dog enjoyed it too! We would definitely love to return.

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful little village,we had everything we needed, and it was spotlessly clean

Great house with a spacious garden - comfortable and well equipped-

Beautifully printed, immaculate cottage.

Lovely quiet village setting, comfortable and homely. Highly recommend.

A very lovely well equipped cottage in a lovely village, with easy access to other towns and attractions.

A gorgeous little cottage.

Perfect in every way.

Property was exactly as described & spotlessly clean, communication with the owner wax excellent also, highly recommend.

We had a great time at Wren Cottage what a wonderful location with beautiful views.

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with ample space for our dog too. Many thanks to the owners of this super property. Will not hesitate to book again when next in Rutland. Roger & Wendy

Lovely little property in a pretty, quiet village.

The only downside is the lack of a proper standup shower. A coffee machine would be a welcome addition to the kitchen. Provision of tea, coffee, milk, toilet paper for guests was very thoughtful.

After our booking was cancelled last November due to problems with the Rayburn heating I was a bit apprehensive about booking again, but I need not have worried, the cottage is lovely with everything we needed.

We had fantastic weather, sometimes too hot to let our dog outside. While my Husband booked a boat on Rutland water for a fishing week, I had a relaxing time in the beautiful garden, while musing over which plants I'd like to copy in my own garden. We had a meal in the King's Arms which is nearby, although nice, it was very expensive. We did pop back later in the week just for drinks. I have only one concern, not really a problem but the next door neighbour has access through the garden to take her wheelie bin out. This was fine but the gates caught in the breeze and blew open, fortunately my dog was inside and even when outside she was on a lead just incase. I hadn't seen her go through as she was very quiet and discreet, I just noticed the open gate. Had my dog been outside and not on a lead she would have been off like the wind. I would have liked the gate to have been a bit more secure especially if I could have used the top bolt. Otherwise a fantastic holiday and well worth waiting for. Thanks to the owner's for the milk, tea coffee and biscuits.

Very clean tidy cottage with a high end finish but very homely great garden for dogs and enjoying a rest in beautiful garden.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village.

Very clean and my dog loved the huge garden.

Wren Cottage is a very comfortable, cosy and welcoming holiday let in beautiful surroundings.

The owners have gone to great lengths to provide everything you would need. Only one downside and that was the lack of a proper shower however the bath is very comfortable. We were sorry to leave.

The cottage was a lovely relaxing place to stay.

It has to have been the cleanest self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Everything you could want for cooking eating etc was there without having excess. Covid has meant a shortage of extras but that was to be expected. A fantastic Garden in a delightful village. Do visit the Kings Arms for wonderful food and a nice atmosphere. Rutland is a delight. Great shops in Uppingham and Oakham for food, antiques etc. Do visit Stamford. A great place to stay and we will be back. Gary and Sylvia oh and Stanley the dog.

This is a lovely cottage and very well appointed.

We were very comfortable and all of our expectations were met and more. We have x2 young children and Wren Cottage provided a very comfortable stay for the whole family. Bravo Alex and Ian!

Cottage was really comfortable and impeccably clean.

Location was ideal for exploring the area.

a beautiful cottage in a lovely setting in.

such a shame there wasn't a shower thoguh.

Lovely few days in this beautiful cottage, garden was great for our dog, very secure.

Everything you needed was available in the cottage. The only thing that was not very good was the shower tap over the bath, which lacked power, and as unable to sit in bath made showering quite difficult.

A cracking village based little cottage on which all should set their standards against.

Wren cottage was a great little hideaway.

The location was ideally situated for exploring the area and for great walks. Burleigh house was only 20 minutes away and Derwent Water even closer. We took our bikes and were very happy to find miles of quiet roads on our doorstep and a pub almost next door. Highly recommended.

Loved the cottage, the location, the local walks, the quiet and the local pub.

Especially appreciated the private and very secure garden for the me and my dog.

This cottage was finished to high specifications with a lovely garden that our dog adored.

Situated in a peaceful village with excellent access to surrounding countryside. Pub down the road was a welcomed addition too. Would definitely return.

We are a family of four adults.

We cannot express enough how lovely this cottage is. The cleanliness, especially during this COVID-19 period, was top notch. The cottage is very comfortable and it was definitely evident that the owners went out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible, lacking nothing. The facilities are of the highest standard. The cottage is very central to the most beautiful historic towns and lakes. Sykes cottages was also very helpful with their area information and tips to make our journey there and stay run smoothly. Thank you so much.

A lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable, one of the best we have stayed in.

We know the area quite well and are regular visitors. So convenient to have a downstairs toilet, unusual in a property of this size. Friendly and extremely helpful owners. We hope to return post coronavirus!!

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable and clean.

Might be good to warn guests that on the first Wed of each month the local water treatment plant sound an alarm at 9am. It’s very loud! We thought the end was nigh!

Absolutely amazing!

Very clean, lovely decor and lovely quiet location. See you next year!!

We had a lovely few days.

The cottage felt like a home away from home, so comfortable and a fantastic location. Only two small issues. My Mum who’s 82 found it hard to go in the front door as no rail to help her up the step, also she is unable to bath and the shower had poor pressure. These didn’t ruin the stay or alter our feelings, and we will definitely be booking again.

Our weekend at Wren Cottage was brilliant.

The accomadation was emaculate. The cottage was equiped to a very high standard. The village of Wing was really lovely and so close to Rutland Water. We will definately return to Wren Cottage in the future. Thankyou again for a great stay.
