"The hotel was clean and the room was excellent. However, the hotel posits itself as a spa hotel and the spa was the worst one i have ever been to. The changing rooms were very basic, there was no hot tub and it had a very budget feel about it. Which given the price of the room you would expect so much more. The restaurant was very nice and the service there was excellent. I wouldn't stay here again only because of the spa and cost of the hotel."

"Lovely staff especially Flo , fresh milk on asking for tea in room, delicious breakfast freshly made great scrambled egg . Great location for town exploration."

"Lovely hotel clean centre off town no faults . Thank you Oakham Hotel excellent 5☆☆☆☆☆. We will be back to visit again."

"I last stayed at the Hambleton Hall in 1986, so 40 years on, I was delighted to revisit. Hambleton Hall is truly an 'island' of excellent and superior hospitality . Set on a narrow peninsular in Rutland water, this hotel, in a fine, old, English country house, warmly rekindles the experience of sumptuous rural living, enjoyed by an English elite in times long gone. When it was a private home, none other than Noel Coward famously regarded the house as one of his favourite places to stay. Our room was spacious, airy, attractively decorated and furnished , with a delightful bathroom through a stained glass door. It was perfectly clean and the bed was super comfortable , with crisp white bed linen. What a pleasure ! Breakfast was a treat. Hambleton Hall has its own bakery, supplying nearby shops and their croissants & 'pain au chocolat' were delicious. Of course the breakfast included a ' full English' with a choice of egg styles, it looked and tasted ...perfect. Coffee and tea were also good and the service was attentive and friendly. This is a very beautiful and yes, magical place. It's a place to reset yourself and perhaps yourself with others, what a wonderful experience. I felt a strong melancholy upon departure. I mustn't leave it for 40 years again ! Thank you Hambleton Hall."

"Lovely wonky old building but very comfortable bed, very clean. Staff all spot on, helpful and friendly, breakfast good and served until very reasonable time. The pub is great, traditional and good vibe but… loses a star for evening food. The worst of freezer to fryer, the bhajis were black and out comment was not acknowledged but, apart from that - well worth it."

"We stayed in a lodge. Whilst they are spacious, it is not in a quiet location as you can hear traffic from the A1 24 hours a day, which at night time when trying to sleep is troublesome. Equally, if raining hard, it is not suitably soundproofed. They are basically equipped. Beds are comfy. Clean ish, some cobwebs."

"Christmas for the family. This is the second year we have booked carrot cottage for a Family get together. The cottage is 6 bedded with the most comfortable double bed we've ever slept in and 4 beds in the other room. Accomodation is available in the other smaller cottages so anyone wanting more privacy can stay there. The kitchen has plenty of equipment and all you need for Christmas dinner. A 10 minute walk from the reservoir banks and 5 minutes to the pub, what more could you want?"
