Staff were preoccupied with attending to wedding guests and therefore attention & service for other guests dropped to the point where we were simply forgotten about whilst dining. The food is expensive, but was not bad. Room was dirty, the toilet didn't work properly, there were small flies, stained sheets and dirty cups. The only positive is the location relative to the lake. Loud noise from wedding parties is also a downside, but depends on what side of the hotel you stay in.

We provided the Sax & DJ package a wedding. This is an incredible venue that worked really well in accommodating for live music and an excellent party atmosphere! The staff were extremely professional and attentive, the food was fantastic and the venue was beautiful. If you're looking for a wedding venue for your big day, look no further.

Lovely location. Ans great room and lovely views. Would have gave it a 5 but the online menu that is on the website. They are not serving. Which we were not made aware of on arrival. So it was a very expensive Al-cart menu which wasn't really up to much. My wife left the fish as it was full of bones. They even had a missprint on the menu. With a order of onion rings they come With strawberry And cream. Something I picked up and staff didnt seem that bothered. So if you look at dining here they no longer serve the pizza And BBQ menu.

It was convenient for our fishing trip and the staff were wonderful apart from the chef refusing to accommodate a simple cheese and pickle sandwich as the sandwich options finished at 5pm. I had a large lunch and arrived late and not hungry enough for starters or main meals. Not very many were eating but it was still too much trouble. My colleagues were ok with a starter. Went hungry in the end.

Really nice experience on Rutland Water. Our room was quite compact but still very good VFM, well equipped and a super view of the lake. Plenty of parking, v comfortable king-size bed and lots of nice bathroom bits, tea, biscuits etc. A few small issues very quickly resolved. Continental breakfast was very good but the cooked one seemed to have a few issues. Staff were very good. A few tweaks would make this excellent but we'd definitely come again. The location is perfect. View from the window :

We had a Lake view room in the main hotel, room was large but very dated furniture and smelt of old cigarette smoke when you first went in. The room and especially bar prices are rather high feel they are tacking advantage of the remote location. Apart from the above the staff are very friendly and we had a very nice stay.
