Rutland Hall Hotel & Spa

Beautiful location in gorgeous grounds with fabulous views of Rutland Water. We had a junior "suite" (actually one room, not separate bedroom and living area) with balcony. It was clean, comfortable and spacious although could do with more lighting (the room was dark despite glorious sunny May weather). The lift wasn't working throughout our stay which didn't bother us but would be problematic for anyone with disabilities or mobility problems. We hated the way you have to step into a pitch black lobby to access the bedroom and the light on a sensor doesn't come on until you are half way across the lobby (take a torch). Same when leaving your bedroom to exit the hotel. Breakfast was very average, we felt, all self-service and feels mass produced, coffee machines producing indifferent "coffee" but no decaf option. We would stay again for the location, but for the price (around £350 per night) we felt there could be improvements

A lovely stay, will stay again.

A really lovely hotel. All the staff were exceptionally helpful, polite and always pleasant with a smile. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and all the food was outstanding. We would highly recommend a stay here.

The hotel was lovely but - regrettably - it was hosting a large wedding and reception on the first of our two nights' stay. They hadn't warned us, yet we were given a room adjacent to the thoroughfare from the reception venue. As a consequence, we had little sleep on our first night at all. The guests in the adjacent room had a spat at a little after midnight over who one of them had been dancing with (and how)! When that ended, we were woken again at about 1:45 am by a group arguing outside who had stopped en route to their rooms; I got up to chase them.off. we them struggled to sleep afterwards . I explained the situation to the manager and staff who offered a potential discount to be discussed when next we booked. We won't be rebooking.

Plates were cold so things like egg were luke warm by the time you started to eat. Otherwise a good range of food. Staff very good. Rooms good. Great sleep.
