Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall room was average in what i have stayed in . On viewing the bathroom area , the cleaning was disappointing as the toilet still had not been cleaned from the last guest . Hairs on the seat and other persons toilet still in the basin . When seating on the toilet it was to close to wall and the toilet holder was right by you on the right hand side.Poor lighting in bathroom. On a plus side food was very good , breakfast and dinner A1.

Nice welcome with complimentary glass of wine as our room was not ready (we had to wait all of 5 minutes). Food was very good although some of the staff seamed very inexperienced.

Welcoming environment with comfortable accommodation. A little more attention to detail might elevate this hotel to 5 stars- for instance provision of a full length mirror in bedrooms or shower caps in bathrooms (as the shower in our room was not adjustable). Breakfast was a bit disappointing- poor coffee, toaster not working to deliver decent toast, strange scrambled egg. Having said all that we like the warm feel of this bijoux destination and will consider returning in the hope that they make a step forwards.

Gorgeous hotel. Choc full of lovely little extra touches eg ginger gin in our room, wellies to borrow for a muddy walk etc. We ate in the hotel and the food at dinner and breakfast was fantastic. The perfect combination of quality with a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

A bit disappointing
My husband and I booked a one night stay. We go walking and stay over at Rutland Water quite often and thought we would stay somewhere different for a change. We were disappointed. We had a friendly greeting on arrival and a glass of complimentary wine which was a nice surprise. However, our room was small and looked quite tired, with mould in the bathroom. There was a lot of footfall outside our room and every time someone walked past, our room including the bed shook. We dined in the restaurant and while the food was good, we felt it was overpriced for what it was and the service was a bit haphazard. Not sure we will be returning here as there is so much other choice of accommodation in the area. Sorry.
