Farmstay in Rutland

Beautiful property, excellent staff!

We had a very pleasant stay at the White Lion for the 2016 Burghley Horse Trials. It is a quaint country inn located in a quiet village, with friendly staff and good food. Word of caution - although the inn's profile on Expedia correctly states that it is in the village of Whissendine, our email confirmation from Expedia incorrectly placed it in the nearby town of Oakham.

This was the third time I’ve stayed here - did not even consider an alternative because this place is perfect. Great staff. Great breakfast. Relaxing location in the countryside.

A little worried about booking in an unfamiliar area but Quorn proved to be a hidden gem. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful (even when they'd just cleared out from hosting a wedding!) and the town itself was really lovely.

Absolutely lovely hotel. The staff were all so accommodating. Beautiful rooms and comfortable beds. My only suggestion would be for the hotel to look into portable air conditioners for the rooms. The first half of my stay had abnormally hot weather and a portable air conditioner for the room would have made sleeping a bit more comfortable at night. Other than that, a lovely stay, stunning patio and excellent food

The meals were presented with flair, the whiskey golden syrup porridge was wonderful. the cook english, all we hoped for. The waiters very friendly and the room warm and comfortable. It made our holiday perfect

The Talbot Hotel is a very quaint hotel. It’s location in Oundle is ideal and central. The courtyard is a great place to soak up the sun with a cold beverage. Dorotha and Aaron were a pleasure to deal with, as were all staff. Enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this location.

We loved the charm of The Old Pheasant. We stayed in the Rutland Suite and it was very spacious for our family of four. Our teenagers appreciated having their own beds (instead of sharing a double). Supper was delicious and the breakfast included with the stay was dynamite! Wish our schedule had allowed for another night here.

The hotel grounds were lovely. The “deluxe suite” we’d booked had some worrisome issues. If you’re a guest anywhere near 6’ tall you run the risk of cracking your head (and drawing blood) on the sharp wooden beams like my spouse did. The towel rack in the bathroom (that also had a low wooden ceiling beam) was scalding hot with no shut off lever. Our safety concerns were relayed to the staff and although they said they’d investigate it didn’t seem like much of a surprise. The breakfast though...

Great location Excellent value

Great place to stay when you are in the area. Friendly staff, great breakfast and comfortable accommodation.

The property is in a beautiful area with Rutland water and nature reserve nearby. Great walking and countryside views. The hotel was in very good condition, rooms were well presented, excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds. The dining room was first class and the staff very attentive.
