Right in the centre of Oakham, we stayed in the annexe by the car park in one of the top floor rooms. The room was lovely and clean with a modern bathroom.
The room was quite warm ( it was a warm May day) There are only skylight windows however they all can be opened and the room also has a fan.

Very efficient staff, especially Daniel. Wonderful welcome on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely, cosy public areas with open fires. A steady stream of customers providing good atmosphere. Easy parking at rear of hotel. Excellent food, huge breakfast. Quiet bedroom in the courtyard area. Super power shower. Nice town to explore. Couldn't fault it. Well done everyone at the Admiral Hornblower.

Breakfast was ok. On day 1, my toast was burnt and poached eggs were hard and not runny
Day 2 breakfast was better
Bathroom was very nice with a wet room
The net curtains in our bedroom were disgustingly dirty
Very old fans in room although functional
Tired room and definitely needs an update
Stairs creaked badly and the beams were low on the stairs and carpet needed replacing
Choice of beers in pub was only average

Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was absolutely lovely. Loved the quirkiness of the old building and slightly wonky floors all adds to the character of the building.

4.0
The location is fantastic & the room was clean and big. The bathroom is nice. The breakfast is very good too.
A couple of things that if we’re added/changed would have made this visit perfect.
Firstly in the bedroom I was in had no curtains so the light from streetlights outside kept the room too bright at night. The biggest issue in the room is the green light above the door (fire exit light) the room was orange & green during the night. I like the room to be pitch black so this made for a not great sleep.
Also breakfast. We were asked what time we wanted breakfast & we said 8am. We arrived to our table at exactly 8am but breakfast didn’t arrive until 40 minutes later.. but was nice when it did and it didn’t sour our experience. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend .

Good breakfast and friendly staff
Worst bed I've ever slept on. Stayed here before and bed always been fine but room 7 bed terrible

central with parking, good friendly staff
despite mentioning it, they are still advertising the room as having bath, which is sole reason booked this hotel. there is no bath. but there is a very bright emergency lighting unit above the door inside the bedroom, was like trying to sleep with the light on.

Helpful staff, lovely breakfast and clean comfortable room.
