Rutland Water Courtyard Rooms, hotel in Oakham

Rutland Water Courtyard Rooms are located on Rutland Water Golf Course. A restaurant, an on-site bar and free WiFi is available. Free private parking is available on site.

Peaceful location, lovely courtyard room with everything needed, including a very comfortable bed. Fantastic breakfast and excellent evening meal on the day we chose to eat there. It was nice staying next to the bar - we could have a drink in the evening without worrying about who was going to drive. We're not golfers, but learned a bit about the sport while we were there! Also was great to be so close to the Nature Reserve and able to walk around Rutland Water.

The Fox and Hounds, hotel in Oakham

Located in Oakham, 29 miles from Leicester Train Station, The Fox and Hounds has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Very convenient to find by car, tranquil setting and good off road parking. Spacious/well appointed room, very comfortable bed and an equally spacious bathroom. Quirky decor which suited our taste..Excellent food; for dinner we opted for Greek specialities for starters and mains. The chocolate pudding/mousse was thick set and wonderfully decadent! The full cooked breakfast was equally good.

    I love the scenery, the wildlife, I'm a walker, so great walks, the town of oakham has everything u need, but what I like most is it's not commercialised, still a pretty little market town.i also used train & went to peterborough, the parking at the station was only £2.50 for the whole day. I had lunch one day at a lovely little cafe tucked in the corner of the market Square called Hungry Birds.

    There are some pretty villages around in this area.

    There are some pretty villages around in this area. Also, of course, Rutland Water is a great attraction, with walks, cycle rides and many water activities. Oakham itself has the remains of a castle with a tearoom.

    Lovely little town perfectly located for exploring Rutland Water and visiting the famous Ospreys. Can recommend the San Giorgio restaurant for great Italian food, best to book at weekends and in summer, it's very popular.

    The location is absolutely breathtaking. It is what I would call a resort hotel where there is enough to do that you need not venture off site. I found the hotel and all communal areas were immaculate. There is a beautiful design to the interiors. Breakfast was a good offering with plenty to fill you for the day. I found the staff to be excellent. I'm afraid my expectations of staff in the UK to be generally poor so it is always pleasant when you find it closer to Dubai standards.

    Barnsdale Lodge was a great location as we were visiting Barnsdale Gardens for afternoon tea etc. Our plan the next day was to walk across the dam and more at Rutland Water. A visit into Oakham and Melton Mowbray. So a super location. Our room over looked the Courtyard and was clean and well stocked with tea/coffee/biscuits etc. Staff were helpful and friendly all around. Breakfast had a good choice and set you up for the day.

    The room was fantastic with views of the Rutland Water, the breakfast was cooked to order and very good selection of hot and cold food. We ate in the restaurant every evening and thoroughly enjoyed the food. and the service we enjoyed everything about the Hotel it was a perfect break for five nights with plenty to see and do surrounding the hotel. The rooms were nice and cosy and warm which we appreciated very much

    Maybe a strange coincidence, but a review by ‘ROGER -COUPLE ‘ was written on the same day this ROGER vacated, how convenient ! The property was well situated in Market Street for our cause to be close to Rutland Water and a three day fishing holiday. The car park was some distance to continually remove and carry our gear to the Hotel each day. Lammy the waiter was the most cheerful of people.

    Lovely location on the green of a lovely village and within very easy driving distance of Oakham and Rutland Water. The decor had been lots of attention and the layout of the hotel managed to be rambling/eclectic and thoroughly usable at the same time. Super outdoor area and dining room to the rear. The rooms are genuinely boutique and well-crafted.

    Lovely quiet location , within walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants but also quiet walks. Lovely outside space to sit when the weather was nice and ample space for a family with growing teenagers to share. Well placed for Rutland Water but also ideally located to visit nearby cities and towns.

    Breakfast was not provided. Was it supposed to have been? This was not a hotel. It was just "rooms" that were difficult to find. I received no instructions on how to get into the room. The room was cold with no way of activating the radiator.
