Our Top Tip

Accommodation type: West Wing

We stayed in the West Wing of Rutland hall for my husbands surprise 50th birthday. The house was plenty big enough for 9 of us and the kitchen was very well equipped.
The area is lovely and we walked into Oakham over the fields and then back via the main road.
The garden is small but ample however, the grass could have done with being cut. Another bench or a table and chairs would have been useful as there was only one picnic bench and not enough room for 9 people. We had great weather so spend a lot of time in the garden when at the property.

Overall, we had a great weekend and would definitely return.

Great, spacious accommodation perfect fir a family break. Plenty of room for 9 adults and 2 babies. Air hockey did not work but did not bother us. Could do with a little updating but great value break

Accommodation type: Hall Apartment

We had a really pleasant week in the Hall Apartment. It is an apartment consisting of an enormous lounge with dining table too, a small but servicable kitchen, a very large bedroom (with the biggest bed we've ever slept in!) with ensuite. The Ensuite has both shower and roll top bath. There is a rear door to a private garden, which is where the hottub is located. There is also a hallway and a second toilet.

The building, Ranksborough Hall, is 19th century is quite striking. The apartment is full of little quirks and period features which remind you of its age. It has clearly been refurbished a few years ago (2011 ish, we reckon) with some reproduction features put in too. The whole effect works very well and the apartment was very comfortable. However, as some people have been a bit overly critical in stating, there are parts that are looking a little tired. Most of these, though, appear to be either original features or at least with good age. For example, the rear door has to be shut with a 'knack' - yes, cos its clearly at least 70 years old. Why not, its an old house. There are a few little bits that could do with tidying up, and that is the only reason for my 9/10 on the overall rating.

There is a good sized TV (32" ish?), a DVD player, washing machine, dishwasher and everything you need. The TV signal for BBC1 and 2 can be a bit hit and miss - but other channels are OK and apart from putting in a Satellite system I am not sure what they would be able to do about it - its just where they are.

We would happily stay here again, we really enjoyed having the hottub and the staff were very friendly.

Accommodation type: Retreat Spa Lodges

I had a lovely stay in the retreat spa lodge with 5 of my friends. The kitchen was well equipped and we had plenty of room for the 6 of us. The hot tub was lovely, just needed to be a little warmer on the first night but we had been warned of this in the information provided before our stay. The beds were comfortable and we had a really enjoyable stay. There is one local pub in the village around a 10-15 min walk. Advisable to book if you would like to eat their as it is very popular. Definately recommend to stay here again.

Accommodation type: Classic Spa Lodges

We could not fault the lodge for comfort and warmth and facilities. Our one small constructive criticism would be the addition of a small coffee table in the lounge. As it is carpeted in a very light colour this would prevent people putting mugs on the floor.

We really enjoyed our long weekend in The west wing. It was warm and comfortable and well equipped. The only drawback is the 5th bedroom without ensuite. This room is on a third floor and means you have to share an ensuite with another bedroom on the floor below.

We were a group of 10 friends staying in The West Wing for a girly weekend and we had a fabulous time!! The house is huge!! Much bigger than we expected!! The kitchen and bathrooms are all beautiful and very modern. The living room and bedrooms are nice but could perhaps do with modernisation/refurbishment soon but this didn't spoil our weekend whatsoever.
The games area with bar is a very nice touch!!
The only downside I would say was the one bedroom which didn't have it's own bathroom but again, we managed and it didn't spoil our stay.
The hot tub probably isn't big enough for 10 people but is still a decent enough size. We did have a few problems on the Saturday with the hot tub not getting up to temperature but this was all fine again by Sunday.
We did get this weekend at a very good rate and so cannot complain at all and we would definitely stay there again!!

We had a lovely stay here. There is not an awful lot to do other than Rutland Water and surrounding area, that was actually very nice! We went to Nottingham Castle/art gallery one day, which was geared up nicely for children. The lodges and grounds are lovely, very peaceful a very short walk to the village pub, 5 minute drive to the nearest Dominos (a must when on holiday with kids and you don't want to cook!). Nice pubs for lunches too in nearby towns. Excellent value with the hot tub, which ensured the kids were entertained and we had quality family time off together. Would recommend.
