Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, with a lovely and quiet ambiance, though slightly bright due to lights from the car park. The service is exceptional, with friendly and efficient staff. It is located conveniently for exploring Rutland, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, making it an excellent central base for various activities. The dining experience is generally satisfactory, although improvements in ambiance are suggested.
This hotel is just what I needed. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with a huge bed that was perfect to sink into after a long day. The service was outstanding, from the welcoming reception to the attentive restaurant staff. The location worked well for my plans, being close to Rutland Water without being right in the bustling town center. The dining experience was delightful, although the portions were a tad small. Overall, a great value for the money!
The hotel offers spacious rooms, a great location in the center of town, and a good dining experience overall. However, the rooms are starting to feel a bit old-fashioned, and the breakfast could use some improvement.
The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of Oakham, just a short walk from the town center and a quick drive to Rutland Water. The rooms are spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, offering a comfortable stay. The service is outstanding, with a friendly and helpful staff that goes above and beyond to assist guests. The dining experience is delightful, with freshly cooked meals and a variety of options for breakfast. The location is ideal for exploring Oakham, though the hotel's surroundings might be a bit challenging to navigate initially.
