The staff at Barnsdale were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they were proactive. Thank you.

It’s a nice enough hotel, quite old fashioned, but spa area is lovely - outdoor pool small but warm enough on October. Sauna & hot tub were wonderful. Just a real shame that the hotel didn’t have views of Rutland Water - it really could be in any field anywhere in the UK.

We stayed here for 3 days and had a really nice time. The property is very well maintained and clean. Our room was very nice. The bed was a bit small and the floorboards were a bit creaky. The walls are very thin and consequently “in room noises “ from other rooms were easily heard. The location is very rural and not close to much. The restaurant was decent but the service was poor. Don’t get the mussels!

What a lovely , peaceful place. Staff very friendly. Room very clean and comfortable. The dinner menu is a bit pricey and there was a mix up in meals. My friend ended up with chicken instead of the sea bass ….hence one star off for service… our dinner drinks were ages in coming too. I will definitely be going back when the spa opens.

Overall room was average in what i have stayed in . On viewing the bathroom area , the cleaning was disappointing as the toilet still had not been cleaned from the last guest . Hairs on the seat and other persons toilet still in the basin . When seating on the toilet it was to close to wall and the toilet holder was right by you on the right hand side.Poor lighting in bathroom. On a plus side food was very good , breakfast and dinner A1.

Hotel super. Staff in all areas were fabulous- friendly and extremely professional. Only one comment was that room 1 was noisy as directly above bar/restaurant and there was a group of men on a conference who were up until around 1am. However, could not fault anything else. Breakfast was wonderful

Super friendly and attentive staff, a credit to the hotel. Food was delicious, nice touches included a glass of wine on arrival as, well as biscuits and a small bottle of liqueur in the room. Fantastic, uninterrupted views of the countryside, and the gorgeous highland cattle, in the next field. Overall a very pleasant atmosphere.

Thought the room was poor. Looked out onto the back of a shed, no view. Wi dows were draughty and lots of road noise Room appearance wasn't great. Valen e tucked up exposing a stained bed base. No milk in the room and the bottle of conditioner in the bathroom was empty. Obvious that the room hadn't been checked before they let it out.

Stayed for 3 nights and it was a brilliant stay. Big bed and comfortable. Clean and the best part was the garden where I can walk my dog every morning. Down part was the WiFi it wasn’t connected and a bit expensive we paid 255 for 3 nights and the breakfast wasn’t included.

Very pleasant stay. Dinner service was a little slow. The room needed attention to water spillage from the shower, the hair conditioner was like rancid milk and the bed valance was frayed and dangerous. I did report these matters. Beware how you book ours was room only but the in-room info states that breakfast is included but that's only if you book direct.

An absolutely stunning hotel where you are made to feel so welcome with a glass of wine when we arrived and staff who indulge your every request We had a beautiful room, with a huge bed, 2 armchairs, and even a bottle of port! The food was delicious and we were sat in a lovely dog friendly section of the Orangey Outside the extensive grassed area led down to the field of very friendly Highland Cows Will absolutely be returning

Welcoming environment with comfortable accommodation. A little more attention to detail might elevate this hotel to 5 stars- for instance provision of a full length mirror in bedrooms or shower caps in bathrooms (as the shower in our room was not adjustable). Breakfast was a bit disappointing- poor coffee, toaster not working to deliver decent toast, strange scrambled egg. Having said all that we like the warm feel of this bijoux destination and will consider returning in the hope that they make a step forwards.

Gorgeous hotel. Choc full of lovely little extra touches eg ginger gin in our room, wellies to borrow for a muddy walk etc. We ate in the hotel and the food at dinner and breakfast was fantastic. The perfect combination of quality with a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I booked a one night stay. We go walking and stay over at Rutland Water quite often and thought we would stay somewhere different for a change. We were disappointed. We had a friendly greeting on arrival and a glass of complimentary wine which was a nice surprise. However, our room was small and looked quite tired, with mould in the bathroom. There was a lot of footfall outside our room and every time someone walked past, our room including the bed shook. We dined in the restaurant and while the food was good, we felt it was overpriced for what it was and the service was a bit haphazard. Not sure we will be returning here as there is so much other choice of accommodation in the area. Sorry.

Lovely hotel in nice grounds, we had booked the Heritage room option but it was a lot smaller than we expected, I think it was a standard room! if it was a Heritage room then the standard rooms must be very small. It needed updating as there were a few bad scuffs on the walls, the bath plug system didn't work. The restaurant and bar area were very nice and relaxing, the outside courtyard was a great space to unwind. We ate in the restaurant the food was OK. The staff were lovely and friendly, on balance a nice stay.

We had a two night stay and enjoyed it. The staff were fantastic, especially Ben who runs the bar and restaurant. He has a good wine cellar and is is knowledgeable about the wine in it. He made us feel very welcome and kindly bought us a drink for our wedding anniversary. The food on menu is well prepared but I struggled a bit with my selection, especially the starter - this is just personal choice. Having said that the nibbles section makes a decent starter substitute. When checking in, we thought we had the wrong room but actually it was just that the picture was very flattering. This would be my only criticism. Having said that they gave us a free upgrade and that was a nice touch. Obviously this may not always be possible. Would recommend and would use again, if in the area. Walking distance for able bodied people to Rutland Water
