10/10 Exceptional

A little gem overlooking Rutland Water.

A warm welcome at reception. On a very hot day it was wonderful to step into my room and find a fan on. All staff were friendly and helpful. My room was spotless and had everything I needed. The large bed was very comfortable. I had dinner and breakfast, both were very tasty. The dinner menu had an excellent selection of food. Free parking close to my room was very welcome. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for your excellent service and hospitality.
Bill, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The receptionists were excellent, so welcoming and obliging. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We ate in the bar at night, food was reasonably priced, good quality and delicious. I will definitely stay there again, it was perfect for our stay.

Fab location. Staff very nice.

Fab location right on the lake. Staff are great. Rooms are basic but functional. Food ok with good selection for breakfast. Lovely open fire in bar area. Plenty of parking.

2/10 Poor

Disgusting unclean, unfriendly and in desperate need of renovation and new front of house staff
Dave, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience

Perfect location for an overnight stay when visiting the horse trials. Parking is via the parking eye so details to be entered at reception. Advise booking a table in advance for dinner. Food was lovely, fresh and quick to arrive.
Macaila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not impressed. A splendid hotel, but poor service.

Waited 15 minutes for someone to appear at Reception. We and another guest hunted around for staff. No apology when a man eventually found time to check us in.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic

Fantastic place to stay, there is a nice walk around the lake. The food was nice and quickly served at the restaurant. The staff was very friendly. When you book ask if theere is aparty on as the hotel accomodates weddings. I definitely got the value back for £63 for last-minute booking.

Loved position. Room could of done with a little more thought. No bedside lights or windows that opened easily.
Jane, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

When booking make sure if you are after a quiet time that no weddings are taking place as there is a thudding from music felt through the room
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible Room.

The condition of the room was awful for the money, see the photos, also there was no help from the reception when we stated we would not be able to make the limited (7:30 to 9:30) breakfast times, nor any help with the on site electric vehicle charging. Largely all round useless reception and a room seriously in need of a refurb. If it was half the price I might have forgiven it.
Gareth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Amazing location, building. Poor experience, avoid

This is a beautiful building on a beautiful setting, worst thing is that best western have their hands on it. Rooms as dated, dirty, items broken, blood and stains on bedding, far too hot, broken noisy fan trying to combat it. The staff are ok but clearly don’t want to be there and this location should have a spa retreat welcome. No staff around after 10pm and couldn’t find anyone at 8am to complain to. Food is decidedly average - again, in this area it should be local food all the way. This was like eating in a below average pub. The dining rooms, like the rooms, are from another era. Whilst clean, it’s horrifically white, always set up for brekfast “nothing says enjoy your dinner” whilst they’re putting the cornflakes out. Bar area doesn’t have enough seating, and why do i need to go to the bar? You can see my glass is empty. Overall you could solve most of this with 4 weeks of maintenance, cleaning and staff training. In reality it’s very sad that this place isn’t run as a boutique / spa hotel. The usual best western experience - awful.
Tom, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Access straight into Rutland Water- very pretty, quiet and peaceful, lovely staff and nice room. Maybe a little tired in some places but in no way detracts from your stay - can’t wait to book again…and dogs are also allowed in some rooms - bonus!!
Andrea, 1-night trip

Tracey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

as expected

comfortable enough room, friendly service at reception dated room need of a refresh. nice location
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Disappointed that it is impossible to be sure that you can have a dog friendly room at the time of booking, to be sure of getting a room you have to book, then check if a dog friendly room is available. In our case it wasn’t so I had to cancel and book elsewhere, and got ripped off for £160 cancellation fee. Not happy about this, Expedia need to sort this out - no point being an online booking business if you have to contact the hotel directly
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property might be rated three star but the staff are rated five star in our mind. They were polite, attentive, efficient and engaging when spoken to. The hotel and the whole of Rutland we found to be really helpful and polite. It`s the way Norfolk used to be but is sadly lacking in a lot of establishments these days. Nice to see that hospitality is still alive and well in Rutland and surrounding areas, The hotel is looking a little tired but didn`t spoil our stay any way, shape or form. Lot`s of rabbit holes around the garden area so be careful if walking off of the paths. We took our dog Oakley with us but unfortunately he had to stay on the lead around Rutland water as it is all about wildlife and the area being eco-friendly. There is an area of about an acre over at Sykes Lane where they can be let off the lead. Oakley, only eight months old was fascinated by the rabbits, birds, sheep and various other animals roaming outside the back of the hotel. He also had a fantastic holiday and was allowed inside parts of the hotel. Thanks to all the staff for a very relaxed visit.

10/10 Exceptional

The Normanton Park hotel was excellent. The experience with Expedia and our original hotel booking was terrible. We booked several weeks in advance and had a confirmed booking by Expedia at the other hotel, the booking was cancelled at short notice by a phone call from the hotel. It took me 3 hours on the phone to get Expedia to find us another hotel in the area. The original hotel was no help at all, Expedia suggested we call the hotel direct and rebook at a higher cost. Expedia & the other hotel terrible. Normanton Park hotel excellent.
