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.

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.

Stamford and Burghley House are well worth a visit also nice to walk by the river and take a picnic
Lovely walking trails from Normanton to suit every level of ability.
Trip on the Rutland Belle around the lake was relaxing
Normanton church beautiful lovely place to sit on the benches and look out over the lake
OTTER cafe in Oakham is a must, beautiful food, friendly staff and efficient service also a great place to buy gifts.
Sun Inn in Cottesmore provide a lovely Sunday lunch

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.
Very efficient staff, especially Daniel. Wonderful welcome on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely, cosy public areas with open fires. A steady stream of customers providing good atmosphere. Easy parking at rear of hotel. Excellent food, huge breakfast. Quiet bedroom in the courtyard area. Super power shower. Nice town to explore. Couldn't fault it. Well done everyone at the Admiral Hornblower.
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.
Fantastic view from the room and very comfortable bed.
The hotel was very clean and the restaurant was nicely decorated, again making the most of the views.
Rutland Water was very accessible for walks straight from the door.
Nice decoration and great to have tea, coffee, water and bath robes in the room.
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.
The whole experience was great: good value, very friendly staff, and the room was so quiet and had all we needed. The hotel also served as a great jumping off place to visit Rutland Water and other nearby attractions. We would definitely stay there again as we did to visit family nearby.
Lovely old quirky hotel, decor of the bar area is fabulous and comfortable, staff very helpful and friendly, dog friendly which is great 😃
Lovely big room and big bed, central location to some lovely little shops, bars and park.
Oh wow!!! Breakfast is just AMAZING, a must have
We were able to contact Tracey easily to access the property and for other queries. She always answered emails promptly.
It was well located for Rutland Water and surrounding towns/villages.
The property was bright and airy, spacious enough for 3 people and well resourced.
as soon as you walk in the door it’s excellent. the only issue inside is I prefer a higher water pressure when I am taking a shower. best thing was the air conditioning, I was there during a heat wave and all of travel buddies complained about the hotels not having air.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfast one of the best we have had in a hotel and evening meal was lovely too. We would recommend The White Lion Inn to anyone who asks about hotels in the area.
The setting and faded grandeur of the property is unique for this area, commanding as it does, an exceptional view of Rutland Water. The hotel and surrounds exemplify the homely and quirky nature of the Best Western hotel chain.
Location was fine, plenty of car parking, evening meal was good but expensive and because we had to leave early in the morning the hotel would not cook us a breakfast but did provide us with breakfast things to make in our room.
I like the hotel its my first choice when in Rutland area, the staff are great, pleasant, I had a first class steak cooked to perfection . The lady taking breakfast orders always seems happy and can't do enough.
Good location for visiting Rutland Water and Oakham. Comfortable room, clean and warm. Excellent breakfast and lovely lounge/ dining areas. A great place to stay
Good location. Pleasantly decorated hotel, clean & tidy. No maintenance issues. Had everything we needed. Good value for money, nice breakfast, pleasant staff.
a perfect hotel break with dogs. Very lovely atmosphere. Great staff - friendly and caring. Good location re Rutland Water etc. Would definitely return.
