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.

Liked: Staff & service
The slightly negative review revolves around the bathroom in our room. It was clearly designed to be wheelchair accessible, which I applaud (even though I am not a wheelchair user), however, as a result the bathroom was very sparse and basic, comparable in fact to a hospital bathroom (and arguably worse). There was not even a toilet lid, everything was made of plastic, and worst of all there was a very bad smell emanating from the shower drain which made its way into the bedroom. The spa was amazing, however.

We stayed here for 3 days and had a really nice time. The property is very well maintained and clean. Our room was very nice. The bed was a bit small and the floorboards were a bit creaky. The walls are very thin and consequently “in room noises “ from other rooms were easily heard. The location is very rural and not close to much. The restaurant was decent but the service was poor. Don’t get the mussels!

Relaxing and lovely.
What a lovely , peaceful place. Staff very friendly. Room very clean and comfortable. The dinner menu is a bit pricey and there was a mix up in meals. My friend ended up with chicken instead of the sea bass ….hence one star off for service… our dinner drinks were ages in coming too. I will definitely be going back when the spa opens.
