A good welcome at Old White Hart after a long journey. The small of wood fires greets you on a winters evening. We stayed in Rutland Room. Cosy, well appointed. Slightly disappointed at the sleep quality of the bed mattress. Breakfast was freshly cooked. Staff friendly. In short a very cosy rural pub with rooms. We will be back.

We had a delightful weekend at this beautiful country hotel. It is the ideal place to recharge your batteries, quiet, well kept, our room had an excellent en suite with a walk in shower. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves excellent meals and the breakfasts are very good too. There is a well kept garden area with tables and chairs where one can relax. Uppingham and Oakham are a short drive away. We will visit again, definitely.

Beautiful location and building. Lovely beer garden. Friendly and welcoming staff. The quality of the cooked food however was only satisfactory. Evening meals were basic and did not reflect high quality cooking. Good choice for breakfast but again did not rate the cooked dishes.

Lovely hotel and room. Super quiet and romantic. Loved the blankets for sitting outside & the summer ale was delicious. Only negative was the tea tray. Two tea bags and three little cartons of UHT wasn’t suitable for two people staying in the room. Other than that a lovely stay. Thank you.

Possibly the best accommodation we’ve ever stayed at! Beautifully presented rooms, so clean and comfortable. Under floor heating in the stunning bathroom, especially appreciated as it was -4 outside. Large comfortable bed and suitably decorated with cosy cottage decor. We will definitely be returning!

Unfortunately I can’t give a great review for our stay. The room was separate to the main building yet the same price. We only had one set of towels between two of us and no coffee! When I tried to call to remedy, there was no telephone reception so I would have had to walk back (in the rain) to the main building to rectify. I didn’t bother. We checked out at 8am but there was no one at reception to speak to so I just had to leave the key in the box. More like an AirB&B than a guest house.

This is a lovely cosy B&B. The breakfast was brilliant (smoked salmon plus home made marmalade) and service excellent too. My room was very spacious, one small point - the bathroom was so hot, even though I turned off the towel rail socket the rail was still roasting. I can really recommend for business stays around Corby. I'd love to bring my wife here for a short stay to explore Rutland.
