Rutland Hall Hotel & Spa

Service before arrival was brilliant, made an error with booking which was easily resolved. Welcome upon arrival was a bit flat, very functional. Booked double standard room, would have described as ‘cosy’. Very compact, nothing special. Just ok. Made hotel aware booking was for a milestone wedding anniversary, wanted stay to be special. There was a postcard ‘congratulations’ and when attending the restaurant, they’d said if they’d known they’d have dressed our table up. I felt they could have made a little more effort with this. Restaurant was the highlight of our stay. Staff were amazing. Despite no notice, they brought out token gesture table decorations- they tried and staff were very attentive. Food was amazing wine was great. Best meal we’ve had for a while. Be forewarned though, it is if the higher price bracket. Worth every penny. Breakfast was ok, the usual cooked breakfast or continental affair. Overall stay was ok.

The apartment was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. It was well equipped and warm. Grounds are beautifully kept. Stunning views across Rutland water.

Surprised this is 4 star. No bedside lights. When we were eating our evening meal there were crumbs on our bench seat. Spa not available. Parking near our accommodation limited. On the booking into the hotel there was a spelling mistake on the form. The staff and evening meal were both excellent.

Great location. Beautiful site. Comfortable room. Great breakfast. Friendly staff.

Delightful place to stay on the edge of Rutland Water. Clean room well equipped. Restaurant food had a good choice and was well prepared. The only failing was a lukewarm espresso coffee which was changed immediately.

The hotel is built in several distinct blocks with many stairs between them. Not good for those with limited mobility.

We stayed for one night in between Christmas and new year. The room was lovely as per usual. Our only complaint this stay related to Blossoms restaurant and the front of house. We made our way up to the restaurant at around 7pm. We only wanted some bar snacks (chips or small plates.) only to be told they are fully booked and can’t also make bar food. For a 4 star hotel, I found this pretty poor. You should be able to cater for all guests regardless. Especially when your hotel is in the middle of no where leaving other eating alternatives non existent. We sat in the bar and had a few drinks. Neither the restaurant or bar was busy. Not sure what they call fully booked but there were countless empty tables, even the larger 4’s only had two people sat at it. The only big party was a birthday tucked away in a private dining area. Not exactly difficult to look after. We had to settle for eating some crisps and making our way back to the room. Breakfast the next morning was perfect. The hotel just seems to struggle with evening shifts for some reason. We prob won’t stay again after this experience. We would chose a place in Stamford so we can walk to an alternate dining facility.

Tiny dark room double bed, lumpy pillows. Food and drink over priced I had Pork belly which was chewy with a thick layer of unrenered fat on top and the dauphinoise potatoes and veg were raw the desert was vanilla cheesecake which had no taste, my husband had a cheeseboard with stale cheese. Poor selection of beers. Lovely location

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.
