The Noel at Whitwell

We had a lovely stay, bed room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and the owner so helpful and kind. He’s been working on the hotel so it was a little tired and is still a work in process. But what has been done so far looks great. Short walk from the wonderful Rutland water, great for walks.

Booked for two night's, arrived to be told kitchen was close due to issues, room was dark, bed uncomfortable, cold tap broken, and towels smelt odd, went out to get something to eat and got back to find pub shut up, admittedly I had been given key code but left in room as wasn't expecting pub to close on a Friday night, so no evening pint, left in empty pub all night, but were told someone would do us breakfast, which was basic, came back later in day to find kitchen still shut so no food again, we had decided to stop in a pub so no worries with food! Decided to leave then as one night was enough.

It was ok but the Breakfast was not good, it was lukewarm the sausages was awful and the eggs were greasy Did not enjoy.

The hotel was disappointing. The shower was not powerful. Breakfast was not good. We had to ask for orange juice and toast. Because we don't like cooked tomatoes or baked beans we got one fried egg, two bacon rashers, one sausage and some cold mushrooms, both days. I doubt we will stay again and we visit Rutland often. Definitely not good value at £108 per night

The gentleman who greeted us was friendly and polite, our room was a good size and clean but quite basic and there were no toiletries provided as stated in the listing. There was supposed to be a bar, restaurant and coffee shop on site- non of these were open. Breakfast fast was ok but consisted of two options, take it or leave it, there was no fruit, cereal or juice just a basic English breakfast. Overall the place was ok for our one night stay but we wouldn’t return
