Whereabouts in Rutland are you going? I live here. Anything you want to know just ask.
Staying in Oakham and using it as a base to explore the rest of the county.

I used to be based up there when in Her Majesties Forces (RAF North Luffenham) ... Oakham back then used to be referred to Oakham where you poke'em ....
Rutland Water is quite nice if the weather is kind to you (I think you can hire pushbikes and cycle round the man made lake). Burleigh House is nearby (Stamford) if Kulture is your thing.... mind you they might be a bit busy with the current horse trials (thats a joke by the way) Back then the good thing about Stamford was market day ... this was long before pubs opened all day ... we used to come off a night shift and "hit the town" aka spend the day in the pub.
The following might give you a couple of ideas perhaps http://www.lonelyplanet.com/england/the-midlands/leicestershire-and-rutland/things-to-do
If Aviation is your thing there a museum at Newark ...
The area didnt really suit me at the age of 19 but a good few years on I might well appreciate it more for what it offers - ie doing nothing!!
Back in the early 80's I went on a tour of the Ruddles brewery which I'm sure was at Rutland Water. Great half day out except ended up going around with a bunch of slightly "stuck up" Radio 4 presenters. I imagine it's still there?
