Stayed here for two nights. Friendly staff on arrival - dispensing ice lollies on a very hot afternoon. Room ok but very hot - only two of the windows opened and even then not very far. Fan simply stirred hot air around. Plenty of water provided and tea-making replenished on request. Decent biscuits too. Big disadvantage is that the restaurant for breakfast and evening meals is in separate building 100 yards away up a hill. Need umbrella if it is raining. Had one dinner in there - food ok but service disorganised and slow. Breakfast disappointing - continental selection ok but hot food left under heat lamps far too long. Rubber fried eggs and inedible scrambled eggs. Nice walk down to Rutland Water - lots of birdlife to see.

Overall, we had a great stay. The hotel and its location were excellent, and the grounds were beautifully maintained and kept to a very high standard.

The only disappointing aspect was the hotel restaurant. The food was average and didn't quite meet our expectations. If we were to return, we would probably choose to dine at restaurants nearby instead.

Overall the property and grounds are lovely, although I was there for a wedding so didn't have much time to explore and enjoy them properly. I also didn't use the spa so can't comment on that.

The weekend was hot (but not heatwave) and the rooms were incredibly hot. There is no AC in the bedrooms and only 1 fan provided per room (not particularly powerful) which was a big downside, especially given the cost of rooms.

The room was nice, mine had a balcony that could have been in better condition to be enjoyed (the furniture had cobwebs). Especially as it was too hot to stay inside the room.

The staff were nice and tried to be accommodating where possible.

On the plus side, the breakfast was a highlight - it was excellent for a buffet style breakfast. Lots of tasty options and great hot food selection.

This is a superb hotel but I think your experience depends very much on the room you choose. The grounds are vast and various accommodation built on a hill, with reception in the beautiful main hotel whilst the restaurant and pool are higher up. Buggies are available to take guests around and the views can be spectacular.

I originally booked a cosy double without thinking about the importance of the view. Although thoughtfully placed on the ground floor to aid my mobility, the room overlooked a wall and felt dark and depressing for me as a solo traveller. Couples or families may feel differently.

Reception staff appreciated my dilemma, were excellent and helped me move to a beautiful room with a balcony on the same level as the restaurant and pool. It completely changed my stay. I did pay more, but for this hotel I would absolutely recommend paying extra for the balcony and view. The lodges also looked lovely.

The restaurant had a modern atmosphere with background music and very attentive staff. Breakfast was buffet style whilst dinner was waiter service, yet I still felt completely comfortable dining alone.

The pool was lovely, the massage was fabulous and everywhere was clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay again, but next time I would be much wiser about my room choice.

We stayed in Rutland hall whilst visiting for a Wedding in the local area it was also our 34th Wedding Anniversary. On arrival the reception staff were friendly and helpful. We were allocated our room which was on first floor with lake view the lift are broken but think that is an ongoing problem.
Our room was pleasant with a good size bed fridge broken.
We had a wander round the grounds and lake which was pretty.. We ate on site in blossom
restaurant fairly standard food think a little over priced but had a nice meal.
We returned to our room at 2230 soon after we could hear a dog barking and crying in an adjacent room to which would stop briefly and the continue we obviously could not sleep and at approximately midnight I located the room next door banged on the door the dog had clearly been left on its own I rang reception who advised me they would come and see but that they and that they advised people not to leave dogs in their room alone that they might be at a wedding. Reception rang later disturbing my husband who was dosing in between the dog howling and crying to tell, us what we already knew that the dog was crying and barking and they would talk to the wedding venue. The dog did not stop till 2am when the owners then returned and had a gathering outside our room. Needless to say we will not be returning to this venue it might be dog friendly(not for this dog) certainly not people friendly. Second night was better and breakfast was good.

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

The “hotel” is really a series of separate buildings spread out across a large site. There is no central location to meet for drinks/ coffee. The only restaurant is at the top of a hill (accessed by steep stairways/roads ). There appeared to be some golf buggies but it was not clear how these could be accessed.
The restaurant was large and cafeteria-like, lacking in atmosphere. There was a restricted menu; no room service available (you have to collect your meal) and I was told at 4.15 that they stopped serving afternoon tea at 4pm ( which is exactly when most people would want it).
The room was clean and well decorated but it was very dimly lit and had minimal toiletries ( no shower cap/tissues). At just over £200 a night for a standard double room it was not great value.

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.

The hotel was fine but broken reading light (reported but no action), paper ordered but then forgotten, buggy often late.

The hotel is in a beautiful location by Rutland Water and there is easy access to a lovely walk beside the lake. Our room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and we had a large bathroom with good quality towels and toiletries. However, the lighting in the room was very dim and this was not helped by the fact that the window looked out onto a wall. That said, breakfast was very good and there is ample parking. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

The room was not booked with a dog even that was requested at Hotels.com. The friendly recpetionist organised a room for me and my dog, but it was £20 more expensive, There was a dog charhe of 35£ instead of 25£ as on the website. I did get a room looking at a wall and it was so intensly smelling fo fresh paint that I had a headache and couldn't sleep esp a flickering fire alarm just above the bed wasn't helpful either. And all this \"joy\" for £189, no dogbed or towels (as described on the website), the food was average, the breakfast eggs and tomatos were cold and dry. Really not impressed. The restaurant might have seen better days. The views were mazing, but not from my room....

Premium Price – Not the Premium Stay Advertised
We booked a two-night stay in a Lake View room at Rutland Hall to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. Reviews were largely positive and the photos looked impressive, so expectations were high — unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the premium pricing.
Pros:
The location is undeniably beautiful, right next to Rutland Reservoir, and the staff we encountered were pleasant and polite.
Cons:
Our room was not in the main hall but in a separate block that felt more like student accommodation or serviced flats than a hotel. This isn’t shown in the photos. The communal entrance smelled damp and mouldy, and the room itself had poor ventilation, resulting in heavy condensation on the patio doors overnight.
While the room was advertised as a lake view, only part of the view overlooked the water, with the rest blocked by the back of the main building. Maintenance issues were evident: a leaking hot tap that had already stained the sink, a broken shower head that couldn’t be adjusted, peeling paint on the door, and a kettle with mould stains inside that remained even after boiling.
The shower was over a bath, which could be difficult for anyone with limited mobility. A coffee machine was provided, but the unbranded, cheap-looking pods gave no indication of what coffee you were drinking. There was also no fridge. No acknowledgement of our anniversary — not expected, but for £240+ per night in January. Would not book again.

Lovely setting, atrocious service and below star

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

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.

We had a few issues which we raised with the management at both the hotel reception and the restaurant. Our advise would be not to book a cosy room for two people as ours was very small and dark and really only suitable for one. We also thought the restaurant food was overpriced for the quality. One thing very much in the hotel's favour is the location as it is in the most beautiful setting so worth staying for that alone.

Birthday weekend

We stayed in a lodge so my answers apply to that. We did not use hotel facilities as, disappointingly, the pool was closed.

Great hotel

This hotel overlooks Rutland Reservoir and had some amazing views. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had afternoon tea in the Blossoms which was tasty and filling. And the breakfast was amazing, literally everything you could want. The only problem we had was, we booked a \"cozy\" double, their cheapest room, which was in the eaves and had slanted ceilings and unfortunately the placement of the shower meant neither me (5 foot 10) or my hubby (6 foot 2) could stand up in it.

An enjoyable visit

Spotlessly clean room, delicious breakfast. Having been told the pool was open, we arrived in time for a swim only to be told it was closed again. Apology was a little half-hearted and an alternative wasn’t offered. A complimentary drink in the bar would have made this a five star rating.

Our self catering accommodation was comfortable, quiet, immaculate, well supplied and felt very homey. I will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful location, clean rooms and bathrooms. Food was good, if there was one criticism it would be breakfast, as I found the bacon a tad hard from being under the heating lamps.

A lovely comfy bed , everything very clean , pleasant room , but , all the good overshadowed by awful condensation after a shower . No extractor fan , it would have made the whole experience 5 star .

VERY large (c60 x 12 ft) and clean one bedroom apartment in the stable block. Comfortable bed, instant hot water for powerful shower, well appointed kitchen. Large lounge had two comfortable big setees and a dining table. I think one of the settees converts to a bed. Nice new carpets and very clean overall

The grounds are beautiful and provide super views across Rutland Water and the rolling countryside

Staff at the hotel were very friendly

Dog friendly. We enjoyed a drink and a nice breakfast in the restaurant's dog friendly area

The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating was due to poor heating. We were really cold for the first two nights. The storage heaters do not work nor did the convection heater in the kitchen. Fortunately one storage heater in the lounge had a manual overide and produced a bit of heat to take the edge off the cold. There is also a small convection heater in the bathroom
On the last day we realised the bedroom heater was a convection heater and not a storage heater. Again this just took the edge off the cold.
