"Room was not clean. There were cobwebs everywhere, black mould by the windows and curtains as well as in the bathroom, there was thick dust on the walls, the bathtub drain was clogged and the towels provided had stains. I didn't like the fragrance of the hand and body wash provided. Breakfast was very good. The blossom restaurant is spacious with friendly staff. Overall the hotel was is in a good location and has lovely views, however for the price the room was very basic."

"Lovely staff especially Flo , fresh milk on asking for tea in room, delicious breakfast freshly made great scrambled egg . Great location for town exploration."

"My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. Initially couldn’t get in and had to call to be let in however we were met by a warm and lovely lady. She showed us to our room which was lovely, modern decor throughout the hotel. Everywhere was really clean, staff were consistently warm and friendly. Lots of choice of drinks in the room and lovely big towels in our bathroom. We ate in the restaurant downstairs on the first night, I was tempted by the pizza and my husband by the burger. When we came down we were told they were only serving pizzas (no reason given) so we placed our orders. 10 minutes later the waiter came and said the pizza oven was broken, gave a large list of things which weren’t available and so we went for the veggie burgers with extra blue cheese. When they arrived there was no blue cheese on them and the menu said 2 patties and were only got 1, we asked for ketchup and were told they have no ketchup? There’s a coop around the corner and the pub wasn’t busy so I’m unclear why. Food was average to be honest. We came down for breakfast the next morning and were greeted by the lovely Darcy, nothing was too much trouble, we had a veggie full English and it was lovely. Breakfast on the 2nd morning was slightly different, we came down and were met by a lovely cleaning lady who looked surprised we were there. She rang someone and the lovely lady from check in arrived. She cooked what my husband has described as the best scrambled egg he’s ever eaten. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the food offer seems a bit hit and miss which is a shame but we would definitely come back."

"We stayed in a lodge. Whilst they are spacious, it is not in a quiet location as you can hear traffic from the A1 24 hours a day, which at night time when trying to sleep is troublesome. Equally, if raining hard, it is not suitably soundproofed. They are basically equipped. Beds are comfy. Clean ish, some cobwebs."

"Great 3 course lunch. Fabulous service. They do what they do very well. Remember who has ordered what. Quiet professionalism. Had an individual menu for my partner’s birthday to take away … a nice touch. Even better value when Lunch for Less is on the menu."

"Nice and relaxing, plenty of space for a cottage… lovely setting, local to Oakham would definitely recommend and will return…"
