Good hotel in lovely setting, but the quality of the breakfast could have been so much better, especially given the great food we had in the cafe the day before. The ingredients in the full English were just a bit standard hotel-ish. Otherwise, a lovely stay. One thing, have you thought about real coffee/cafetieres in the bedrooms?

Close to Rutland water and situated in centre of Oakham town. Breakfast was good. Room was dated and needed a facelift. Bathroom was worse and really needs to be upgraded to match other hotel standards.I stayed in Keswick room and the room needed a god clean.

The Hotel is in need of a total refurbishment. Our Rooms were generally clean, but the carpets and walls were very badly stained and both had peeling paint and cobwebs. Where there had been repairs to the bathrooms, no attempt had been made to retouch the paintwork. The public areas of the Hotel were also very tired and dirty. The water supply was intermittent and therefore, having a shower was a nightmare, as it was either red hot or freezing cold. The bar staff were helpful, but the receptionist was surly and unhelpful.

I booked to stay in a room with a four poster bed, as it was our anniversary and my partner's birthday so I had booked this as a special treat. However, when we arrived we were shown to a room with what looked to be just a normal king size bed. When queried the fact I had booked a four poster bed with reception they said that this had not come through on the booking, yet I most definitely booked this. They then informed me that all the four poster rooms were booked out and so I had no choice but to accept the normal room. Whilst £25 was deducted off the room price, when we got in bed that night we realised that the bed was in fact 2 singles pushed together and we had an extremely uncomfortable night. Not at all satisfied.

Manager is kind in accomodating last minute changes of extra room booking and meal plan changes. Sleep disturbed by hotel clients walking around and dropping things on creaky floorboards in room above.

The location was great as it was right in the town centre Everything was very tired looking. No atmosphere in the very small bar area. Bedrooms where very tired looking and the bathroom was grubby. The meal was ok. I ordered beef with horseradish mash and cabbage. When it came I had plain mash and no cabbage. My friend who we stayed with ordered pork stuffed with prunes on celeriac mash and roasted veg. He got pork which wasnt stuffed with anything, plain mash, roasted veg and cabbage, which I think should of been mine. The cheese and biscuits where a lot of money for what you got and no grapes or celery and the chutney had so much curry powder in it it was not very nice. Breakfast was lovely but I was glad we got it half price as the full price was £12 !!!

Stayed in Bathurst Room - large enough for my husband, myself and son aged 10. Central location - ie Market Place Service at breakfast was poor. Fresh Coffee on menu was instant - not what I'd expect when description states fresh coffee.

The hotel has character and you feel very relaxed in the surroundings.I Only live 13 miles from the hotel but find it very soothing and chilled when I visit. Staff from reception to breakfast were excellent.The room (quorn) was very spacious and the four poster bed is a nice touch.would recommend to others and a good place for family gatherings. Small complaint, the room which did have character (quorn) is let down by the lack of light in the main seating area,very difficult to see.The blind in the bathroom has seen better days and needs changing due to the bottom being filthy. The net curtains also are in need of a good clean.As I said small issues which did not spoil our stay

Fantastic value for money in a really lovely location in the pretty town centre. Very friendly bar, which was quite happy to stay open late for residents. Delicious cooked breakfasts - especially the tomatoes. Really cute courtyard around the back. Rooms on the front of the hotel (Fernie & Symington) suffer on Friday nights from the farmers market setting up next morning. The scaffolding starts being erected at about 4:50 am, complete with loud noise and "scaffolderly" language.

As we were on a cycling holiday the location of the hotel meant that we had a very good access to the Rutland cycling route. The hotel was very quiet and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good. We were also able to walk around the town being so central. The car park was never full and suited our trip. As it was a very old hotel the noise from people in the corridors was quite loud, but didnt realy trouble us.
