Rutland Hall Hotel & Spa draws consistent praise for its scenic setting by Rutland Water and generally friendly staff, but feedback is mixed overall due to variable room sizes and comfort, patchy facilities access, and occasional service and housekeeping lapses.
Some units are modern and spacious with lake views, while many cosy or annex rooms are small or dark with small double beds, limited ventilation and no air conditioning, plus occasional noise or poor outlooks. Spa and pool access is often limited or closed, the gym has restrictions, and the hillside layout and parking can be tricky to navigate. Food and breakfast are frequently enjoyed, though prices feel high and service at check-in and in the restaurant can be slow or disorganised. Expect lovely views and welcoming staff, but choose your room type carefully and confirm facility availability.

Facilities
Beautiful grounds beside the lake, but spa and pool access is inconsistent with closures or limited features, and some facilities require booking. The spread-out, hilly site and tight parking/signage can make getting around inconvenient.

Great Stay at this superb location. Shame The Spa wan closed for refurbishment. Had dinner in the restaurant. Fab food and 5* service from Amy Brown who had a wide knowledge of fine wines from around the world. Room was very big ( we did get an upgrade), looking out the lake. Very clean, ample tea, coffee & biscuits supplies in room. Bed supersize and super comfy. Will definitely return and will highly recommend. Pool will be back open in Dec 2024.

Disappointed there was no spa even when the name suggests there is, all Amenities need to be booked in advance even the pool so we wasn’t able to use that or book any activities, the restaurant wasn’t fully up and running with Skelton staff and long waits

The property and rooms were clean. The room was disappointing - we did not expect a lake view but were surprised to have a view of high brick wall a few feet from the window. We are also disappointed that the hotel rooms were scattered around the hillside in a series of blocks, like an old-style holiday camp rather the hotel we expected that was featured on all literature. Parking was available but the staff did not seem bothered at all that this may be some distance from the rooms. The breakfast was good, to be fair. The gym was fine but the pool too shallow for adults to swim in.

Difficult to review as patchy we found. jnr suite was spacious but a lot of space wasted as sort of hall. Loved big bed looking at lake & balcony. Restaurant is awful - big, more like a cafe & noisy music, but staff at dinner lovely & food v good. V hilly, not disabled friendly tho there is a buggy. Breakfast buffet typical - sad food dying under lights. Gym only opens 745 weekends, have to go to reception to get code which changes daily. Why not give code on check in & change daily after guests check out then could make it 24hr. Hall gives impression its olde world but in fact v modern

We had a lovely stay here to celebrate a birthday. The only downsides were there was some mould in the bathroom and around the edges of the window in the bedroom, which you don’t expect in a 4 star hotel. Also a shame the spa was closed but that can’t be helped.

We were only there for one night but this was a great base for visiting the area. The room was clean and comfortable; the bathroom was very modern and the towels were large and soft. There was a kettle and a coffeemaker in the room with a good supply of teabags, etc. Breakfast was very good with a wide range of food available. We would definitely stay here again.

New member Clara was superb. Restaurant was ok but did appreciate the hours. All not high end enough to be what it should and many areas needs jet washing and cleaning around the grounds, a lot of areas look worn and degrading.

Rooms have no air conditioning or fridge for cold drinks. Windows could only be opened by a couple of inches. Rooms too hot and claustrophobic and would not recommend a stay in the height of summer. In addition, lift was out of order so bags had to be carried up 3 flights of stairs. No porterage service available. Very pleasant surroundings but the rooms were over priced considering the lack of basic facilities.

A lakeside hotel with views. Excellent breakfast and service. I was given a rear facing room in the Oakham annex.it saw small with little or no sound proofing (could hear the TV in the room across the hall )and a view of the wall at the opposite. It was clean and well appointed but I suspect warm in summer as no AC although a small fan is provided. Dinner in the restaurant was a bit of a walk up a couple of flights of stairs,no fun when raining. The food was ok but a challenge to find something within my meagre budget. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very crowded reception area for checking in - two wedding parties arrived at the same time. Our room overlooked the car park and we were kept awake until gone 2.00am by drunken guests arguing and shouting outside. Room only has single glazed windows so even if there are planning restriction secondary double glazing could be added. This would help a lot, especially as the fan light window didn't close properly.

Lovely views but none of the staff I interacted with were even vaguely helpful. The venue is on a steep hill so be aware as breakfast was served at the top of the hill but the accessible rooms are at the bottom of the hill. Pretty location but tiny beds for two (4’6”) and small rooms with just the very basics like a bed, wardrobe and lights. That’s pretty much it. Wouldn’t go back.

Beautiful grounds and stunning buildings. Rude staff - especially the judgmental receptionist who spoke down to my husband as he was dressed in his scruffs having been fishing in the England final on Rutland so wasn't as well dressed as other guests checking in for a wedding party. No Wi-Fi in the Stable Mews despite being told the property has free Wi-Fi. Over an hour to check in if you arrive the same time as a wedding party. Paper thin walls/ceilings. Insulting £50 deposit demanded on check in despite no warning in paperwork. Mouldy, clinical bathroom with no toiletries - silverfish as room mates complimentary though! Horrendously hard bed - the sofa was more comfy to sleep on for three nights. No spa on site despite the name of the property. To top it off, the housekeeping staff let themselves in 30 minutes before check out time to start turning the room around. Honestly, avoid this place. What a joke. If I hadn't prepaid, I would have cancelled on checking in and found a Premier Inn or similar.

Quite possibly the most frustrating check in and Check out experience that I have ever encountered. Despite filling out the pre check in information including an arrival time,when I arrived at reception there was literally a queue out the front door and into the car park. The irrelevant attempted conversation from the check in hostess is a clear indication that no one is reading the room, people are stood in line waiting to get to their rooms, stop the question time and come up with an efficient booking in system. Dinner was excellent, I am referring to the food, beautifully cooked and hot, unfortunately the service was at best amateurish, the maitre d welcomed us, seated us and took our drinks order, great, guess what, the drinks never arrived! The server turned up to take our order and asked if we wanted drinks? We told her drinks were ordered 15 minutes ago when we sat down, our food order was taken and she reappeared a few moments later with the drinks saying they had been prepared but no one brought them to us. The food was good, once we had finished our main course we sat for 20 with our empty plates in front of us, I really wanted to order a desert but could not get the attention of our / a server, in the end I gave up and told a passing member of staff that I wanted the bill. Similar story at breakfast with poorly cooked food, I had to request fresh fried eggs as the ones on the hot plate had gone hard.The smallest double bed I have ever seen, with no aircon, unhap
Quite possibly the most frustrating check in and Check out experience that I have ever encountered. Despite filling out the pre check in information including an arrival time,when I arrived at reception there was literally a queue out the front door and into the car park. The irrelevant attempted conversation from the check in hostess is a clear indication that no one is reading the room, people are stood in line waiting to get to their rooms, stop the question time and come up with an efficient booking in system. Dinner was excellent, I am referring to the food, beautifully cooked and hot, unfortunately the service was at best amateurish, the maitre d welcomed us, seated us and took our drinks order, great, guess what, the drinks never arrived!

We chose this hotel as we were a group of friends meeting up from various locations. The hotel is lovely and the waterside location stunning. We were given a private room for our group meal. No complaints that I was aware of. Very good breakfast. Plenty of choice from cereals to yoghurt and fruit and full English and pastries. The hotel is the perfect spot for exploring Rutland Water and the local area.

The hotel has a beautiful setting by Rutland Water .However our room and particularly the bed was very small .The restaurant was overpriced and with a very poor ambiance so we decided to eat in a very good Italian restaurant in Oakham.The policy of putting down 50pound deposit was insulting so we certainly will not stay again

Visiting area for one night. Beyond sleeping and eating at venue no other facilities used. Good choice of breakfast. We did eat in restaurant on Saturday night. Seriously expensive… and not up to standard for amount paid. Overall. Reasonable price for room and breakfast. Staff pleasant. Eating in the restaurant expensive for the quality.

It’s obvious that every single corner of this beautiful destination is well maintained and cared for. It’s not state of the art or brand new, but it’s beautifully looked after. It’s not ostentatious but super comfortable and high quality. The spa area was a fantastic treat. The food in Blossoms was outstanding. The team were discreet, yet warm and friendly. I couldn’t fault a single thing.

Didn't like the fact that I paid £100 for the room and was given a smallish room on the bottom floor. Directly outside my window was a retaining wall with a really bright light that shone into my room meaning I had to close the curtains earlier than I would of liked, then the light bulbs in the room are those modern filament ones, that didn't give off a particularly great amount of light meaning I had loads of lights on just to try and do some work. The desk in the room was small and was tucked close to a table with water on it and a wardrobe behind it. I ate at the restaurant, food was lovely, but given I ate on my own, wasn't the biggest or most complicated order in the world and the waiter forgot to pour and bring me my drink over with my meal. When I mentioned this at the point of settling my bill, they did remove it off my bill and gave me a free drink to compensate which was nice.

Overall a good stay. I stayed in the cosy double room and all I would say is the bed was really hard. Also the room was right by the door so it was noisy as times. Breakfast was good. We tried booking in for dinner on the first evening however it was full so we ordered a delivery to the hotel as it was late. No food service in the evening which I thought was odd. The hotel did try and book us in for the other nights though.
