Overall we had a great stay. Two little negatives. 1. Car parking can be a problem but nothing can be done about it. 2. It was a pity the dinner menu was the same each night. Staff were some of the nicest we have ever experienced.

The lady on reception was a bit cross with me as I was trying to check in after 21:00, and she'd not been able to get through on my mobile earlier to check I was still coming - my apologies! Comfortable but very warm room, OK breakfast, very tight and limited parking on site, down a narrow drive right by the sign and immediately adjacent to the public carpark. Quiet town, nice hotel, but not really for me.

The hotel is in an ideal place for town with free parking on the grounds, polite and helpful staff, clean room and hotel. good breakfast choice. When I was there in June 13th -16th it was hot sunshine days and the fan in the room was a god send, but the bathroom did not have an extraction fan so it got like a sauna in there. but that kind of sunshine is not the norm in the UK, overall the hotel was good and I would not hesitate to book a stay there again, well worth a visit

A great little hotel for a short stay in Oakham, we have stayed before and will probably return in the future. Our ground floor room was clean and comfortable, we were grateful for two easy chairs. The room would be better if there were coat hooks to save putting wet coats in the wardrobe and a few more hangers too. The beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. The toilet seat was loose which we reported to reception on departure. We thought the bars prices were steep and this would put us off drinking there again £19 for a medium wine, a pint and 2 packets of crisps! Otherwise a lovely stay. Friendly staff.

Everything was great until breakfast. Very unfriendly staffer. I asked if we could have cheese on our breakfast sandwich…no. Do you have any potatoes? No. The sandwiches were dry and unappealing, but the attitude was worse. 2 breakfast sandwiches with no condiments or sides was 35 pounds. Dinner the night before was delicious and every other staff member was wonderful. Stay at this charming inn, but eat breakfast elsewhere.

I stayed here for two nights with my husband on our way down south. He is from the area and wanted to see Rutland Water. We visited various parts of the reservoir and really enjoyed seeing the area around. The hotel was also walkable distance from the museum so it was good to be able to visit that, especially when it started to rain. Oakham is a nice town. although we didn't do any shopping we went to a nice cafe and good Indian restaurant one night. We had a very nice meal at the hotel on our first night and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the place. Our room was very nice with nice furnishings and the bed was comfortable. We would certainly stay at the hotel again next time we travel south.
