Plussat: Room was spacious with lovely big bed and bathroom was modern and well equipped. Evening meal was really excellent and breakfast was very good. Extremely helpful staff who enhanced our stay.

Miinukset: Only the weather, which they couldn't do anything about, but they did have umbrellas to borrow, which didn't even make that a problem.

Plussat: Staff were welcoming and helpful Food was fantastic in the evening and breakfast, lots of choices Loved the location, very short walk to the nearest coffee shop and later on pubs! Would definitely return, it ticked every box for us

Plussat: Room was comfy, staff were all friendly, food in the bar and restaurant was great.

Miinukset: I didn't check the info correctly so as we like walking....there was no where to walk from the hotel. You could find places by car but we didn't want to use the car

Plussat: Breakfast was standard. Location perfect as there for a party. View from bedroom lovely.

Miinukset: I have never stayed anywhere where there were no toiletries in the bathroom (apart from the soap attached to the wall). I booked through booking.com to use a £30 voucher and paid way over the odds, as if I had paid direct, I discovered on the night, there was a special rate - so very poor value for money.

Miinukset: Room 5,next to staff quarters staircase noisy at night. Kitchen extractor located on outside bedroom wall noisy till midnight.

Miinukset: The room was a converted out building, there were rooms above us and every movement was amplified. Dreadful nights sleep. Would not recommend those rooms . Felt like we needed a break to get over the noisy night and morning. The car park is directly outside the door that leads onto it. Wish we had been forewarned. We would never had stayed here

Plussat: Friendly staff, comfortable beds, good shower room, interesting and historic building, good atmosphere, peaceful at night despite being located beside road.

Miinukset: Waited 45 minutes for breakfast consisting of one bowl of porridge and one scrambled egg and bacon, which mucked up our schedule for the day. No apology, no explanation. In-room tea tray not replenished for second day of stay. Went out to buy tea bags, water, milk and biscuits.

Miinukset: Nothing apart from having to leave

Plussat: It’s convenient for visiting.

Miinukset: Room was a little on the small side and considering they were so quiet something a little larger would have hurt anyone.

Plussat: Set in a beautifal village, with friendly staff and locals

Miinukset: A more extensive menu

Plussat: Food was excellent, both at breakfast & evening meal. Staff were all very helpful and friendly

Miinukset: I didn’t realise that breakfast was not included in the price. The room was a little noisy at times, due to being on the roadside but no double glazing

Plussat: The bathroom was amazing,and the hot tub was really relaxing....

Plussat: Beef Wellington and chicken leg meals were absolutely delicious and would highly recommend both meals.

Plussat: Lovely village and hotel.

Miinukset: All lovely.

Plussat: Warm and welcoming

Plussat: Beautiful decor, bathroom with lovely roll top bath was fabulous! Under floor heating & the room was cosy.

Miinukset: We were in a bottom room which meant when the upstairs guests arrived there was lots of creaking banging & noise. Understandably cottages are old but possibly could do more to dull the sound.

Plussat: Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, comfy bed - perfect

Plussat: The amazing jacuzzi . The food was excellent & the setting was perfect

Plussat: we stayed in 'bede' lovely upstairs bathroom with spa bat

Miinukset: scrambled eggs at breakfast

Plussat: We liked the rural village and the hotel ambience . The meals were prepared promptly to a good standard

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very quiet and peaceful setting. I liked the fact the room was not above the pub/bar, but in separate little cottages at the rear of the pub. Excellent food. Room very spacious and lovely large bathroom with whirlpool bath - very relaxing!

Miinukset: no mobile phone signal!!

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating. Also the food was excellent.

Plussat: Very pleasant staff, good food, clean, well appointed room.

Miinukset:

Plussat: quality of the food and friendliness of the staff

Plussat: Wonderful Food, pretty Inn in lovely village

Miinukset:

Plussat: The Old White Hart is an excelent bed and breakfast with friendly, helpfull staff and lovely rooms. I shall recommend it to friends and family and shall stay there again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Almost everything

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Old coaching inn. Unique quiet location on a peninsula with views of Rutland Water.

Miinukset: Radiator on low setting when we arrived. It took ages for the room to get warm. Only partial view of Rutland Water from our window. Bed not very comfortable. No biscuits! Not many choices on the menu and the food was quite expensive for what you got as sides were extra. Had to send my steak back as asked for it to be cooked medium well and it was medium rare.

Plussat: Excellent service, and our meal in the restaurant was exceptional. Breakfast as always a delight.

Miinukset: Car park needs attention in the wet weather.

Plussat: Lovely pub with great character! Lovely room

Plussat: The ambience was wonderful, every member of staff was cheerful and welcoming. They couldn't do enough for us. Gorgeous open fires and mulled wine, lovely Christmas decorations in a beautiful setting. Thank you all for a superb 3 night stay.

Miinukset: That we couldn't stay longer. The only tiny niggle was that the basin in our bathroom drained very slowly.

Plussat: Great setting & pleasent Hotel

Miinukset: Staff rude and unhelpful when booking

Plussat: Lovely location

Miinukset: Hotel very run down Poor breakfast

Plussat: The views were spectacular, the breakfast was great and lovely food in the restaurant both nights.

Miinukset: Some ideas on walks around the complex, we were woken by people shouting about twice - not so good as didn’t sleep well afterwards☹️

Plussat: Range of Facilities & proximity to the lake

Miinukset: Paid extra for a balcony room but turned out to be a ground floor room with terrace therefore other guests walked in front of rooms.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Our second time staying here. A lovely place with excellent leisure facilities and views to die for. The food in the restaurant is absolutely wonderful. Whoever came-up with the idea of a scotch egg made with smoked haddock instead of sausage meat is a genius!

Miinukset: Having to trek all the way back upstairs to the spa reception to return towels after using the pool is a nonsense. Why not have linen baskets in the changing rooms? Also, we had a late breakfast (9:30am) on this trip and sadly the food in the bain marie was a bit dry and rubbery.

Plussat: Pool etc was really nice. Bathroom in the room was modern but the room decor was a little dated. Great staff. The lady running the leisure facilities was very friendly and recommended walking routes.

Miinukset: Choice at breakfast could have been a little wider. The continental breakfast promised on the menu was nowhere to be seen and staff didn’t seem to have heard of it either.

Plussat: Such a beautiful location right on Rutland Water

Plussat: Value for money and views

Miinukset: Food not great and smokers in pyjamas in entrance hall not pleasant

Plussat: Friendly staff nice food and great location

Miinukset: Bathroom was a bit tired

Plussat: The grounds were lovely, as was the general area. The staff were very friendly and on the whole very accommodating.

Miinukset: I really didn’t enjoy our stay at all. The room was small and cleanliness was an issue. The bed was 2 singles pushed together which were uncomfortable if you were too near the middle. The bathroom was very tired. Breakfast was extremely disappointing and took an hour to arrive as there had been a power issue in the kitchen, however this was not well communicated. At checkout I felt the staff couldn’t be bothered as I was leaving at that point. There would need to be a great improvement for me to consider staying again.

Plussat: We loved the location. Bar area warm and cosy and food was good.

Miinukset: See above. Didn’t feel was particularly dog friendly as we were made to eat dinner and breakfast in bar “corridor “

Plussat: good selection of cooked meals.

Miinukset: better selection of fresh fruit. only melon available which not everyone can eat.

Plussat: Everything matched expectations- having stayed here on many occasions. Dog friendly room much better after refurbishment- pleasant surprise. Staff friendly - a very easy and comfortable place to stay.

Miinukset: Toilet seat ill fitting- needs changing.

Plussat: Great breakfast!

Plussat: The property was absolutely lovely, staff were very friendly and very helpful

Miinukset: No mirror in the bedroom, needed one when drying my hair couldn’t see to style it.

Plussat: Perfect in every way : Cosy, welcoming, comfortable, and delicious food .

Miinukset: No negatives whatsoever

Plussat: Fantastic band playing “The Hound Dogs”

Plussat: With a balcony view to die for,to relax in a super four poster,after a whirlpool bath I would recommend this stay as a break of discovery.. Fairly deep pockets required but you shoukd not let that put you off.BEAUTIFUL

Miinukset: Nothing found

Plussat: Friendly staff! A well lit log burning fire, the peace and quiet! No Road noise! The view of the reservoir and the history attached to the hotel!

Plussat: Relatively fast check in easy parking

Miinukset: Room small and cold, wifi not working, bed worn, food overpriced

Plussat: Everything!!!

Plussat: Fantastic location and great meal in restaurant.

Miinukset: Room had too much furniture for its size.

Plussat: The breakfast was ok but that's about it

Miinukset: The wardrobe / cupboard had BAD condensation running down the inside. The bathroom had cracked tiles all over the floor.

Plussat: The view, reception staff, bar staff wedding manager

Miinukset: Only issues I had were dealt with reception

Plussat: The position on Rutland Water, the staff were good, the food was good.

Miinukset: The hotel layout was odd and a little tired. Rooms were good but dark and (for our room) the possible view was shrouded by an overgrown hedge.

Plussat: Compact, position on Rutland Water front is excellent. Clean, delightful staff and surprisingly good a la carte meal. Excellent value for money

Miinukset: Bed linen should be more substantial

Plussat: Proximity to the lake, walks, photography

Plussat: Everything about the hotel was excellent from the reception staff to the restaurant staff, the food, the room, the venue, Everything. we have no negatives about the hotel. We will definitely be returning !

Miinukset: Nothing that we did not like.

Plussat: Great location. Nice welcome from staff at reception. We were given a quiet room as requested and the room was spacious.

Miinukset: The heating in our room was not working (Dec 2019 and 3 degrees outside). They did provide us a small electric heater which made the room warm enough but the bathroom was really cold so we did not shower. They did not warn us the heating wasn’t working on arrival, they only confirmed they knew when I complained on check out. Otherwise the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was disappointing, they had run out of tomato ketchup and they had no normal tea, only fancy teas. We had PG tips in our room but the lady said they only did special Teas in the room? Anyhow, she did make us a pot of normal tea (Pg tips) in the end but we were surprised to have to ask for it.

Plussat: Staff, location, size of rooms.

Miinukset: Room was a bit too hot for us also quite dark. Otherwise it was good.

Plussat: Excellent location in the centre of Oakham. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. Our bathroom could do with a complete upgrade.

Miinukset: Our bathroom

Plussat: The staff were really helpful and friendly, rooms were a good size and on the whole comfortable. We were offered a change of room due to the heating not working properly which we appreciated, but declined as we did not want to cause too much fuss. Breakfast was very nice and served quickly. The location is ideal. Oakham is a lovely town to stay in with lots to do close by and many great restaurants. The hotel had lots of character.

Miinukset: The heating system didn't seem to be working properly when we were there and the weather had turned very cold, we had 3 bedrooms, one was extremely hot which was ok as we could turn the radiator down, but two were very cold no matter what was done to the radiator thermostats. Due to it being the weekend there was little that the staff on duty could do to put this right. Perhaps this could be looked into for the benefit of future guests.

Plussat: Friendly staff and good food.

Miinukset: Narrow bed.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location, great breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Room location staff breakfady

Miinukset: Lovely room, great staff. Breakfast very good

Plussat: The welcome from all the staff, really friendly, professional, and genuine. They called to check I was going to arrive in time for dinner, and offered to put a sandwich out for me if I was going to be late. Above and beyond...

Miinukset: Creaky floorboards, but it's a really sweet old building so put up with it

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: The room was incredibly dirty and worn. There were marks on the walls, hair in the bathroom and the carpet was filthy. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Would not stay here again. I would like a refund.
