Cosy welcoming hotel

We really like this hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We liked our room and it was cosy too. We thought the newly renovated dining room was delightful but would have appreciated stronger lights so we could read in the bar area. A lovey stay and hoped to return soon.
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The grounds are nice and the area wonderful.

The rooms are on the small side and so are the bathrooms but the bed was very comfortable and had some nice touches. Tea and coffee and biscuits. The menu wasn’t great but what we had was quite good.

Great hotel for families

Shelley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a nice stay at the property. The two highlights for us were the beautiful Spa, lovely facilities & really beautiful setting! And the staff - excellent customer service - very friendly & attentive! Overall the rooms are okay, the decor as other reviews suggest is a little on the older side but didn't fuss us, the rooms were clean. Unfortunately being a slightly older property, the walls are quite thin and our room in particular (room 2) we heard people all hours of the night & day, which also made our bed shake as it was right against the wall that is situated alongside the corridor & staircase to other rooms. The other minor fix, being summer, windows & patio doors open etc, lots of flies within the property and in the breakfast room, some items (cold cuts, fruit & bread) left uncovered. Flies landing on these items so we avoided - easily fixed. Overall, the property is beautifully located & the friendly staff & lovely spa are the highlights.

Fabulous and friendly

Very friendly staff made this a thoroughly lovely experience. From the glass fo wine handed to you on arrival, you are left with the impression that the staff simply can't do enough for you. Excellent food in the restaurant (supper and breakfast) with prompt service thoughout. Even thought this was only a business stay, I would highly recommend this hotel to people visiting the area.

This may be the first hotel that I have stayed at with complimentary drinks at reception and then also in the room. A nice touch! Rooms are clean, well appointed and have everything you need, want and works.

Disappointed

Booked as surprise for daughter, supposed to be a distress break, spoilt by being inundated with phone calls to book evening meal, even called my daughter, break spoilt, cobwebs in room, massage booked cancelled twice by staff not turning up

6/10 Good

Disappointed

I have contacted the hotel directly due to a number of things not being to the standard we would expect. The room was dirty and dusty, the doors across the hotel all slammed shut very hard which meant sleep was disturbed, we didn’t receive promised complimentary items.

Hotel without views of Rutland Water

It’s a nice enough hotel, quite old fashioned, but spa area is lovely - outdoor pool small but warm enough on October. Sauna & hot tub were wonderful. Just a real shame that the hotel didn’t have views of Rutland Water - it really could be in any field anywhere in the UK.
