Hambleton Hall

The rooms are comfortable and stylish with beautiful views of the lake or gardens. Exceptional service and a great location near Rutland Water provide a superb setting for guests.

We were booked to stay at the hotel on the 12th of June. We arrived at the hotel and there was no-one to help to help with the bags which was surprising. There was a lady at the front desk who advised us at there were no tables for dinner but there is a nice pub down the road! We did question driving from Heathrow (We were on holiday from Kuwait) to stay at Hambleton hall and not eat in the restaurant was madness and she then offered a table at 6pm but it was already almost 5pm when we arrived and this wasnt suitable and she said there was nothing they could do. As we had a reservation for the next 4 days at Harts in Nottingham (owned by the same couple) we suggested we drive and have an extra night there instead. The lady at reception called Harts and arranged the extra night in Harts. She said she would refund the money (£200 deposit) and it would take a few days to show in the account. We stayed at Harts and driving to the airport 5 days later we had a voicemail from Roshan who said he was the manager and that they were not refunding at all due to their T&Cs and they had charged my husbands account for £490. We eventually got to speak to him and he said he didnt need to honour anything. After 10 minutes or so on the phone he said as a gesture he would refund the £290 but we would loose £200 and was really very abrupt. We explained many times this is not what the lady at the desk had promised but he was not interested. I really feel this was poor from a hotel of this calibre and have since discovered he is not the General manager as he had told us. A disappointing experience and shall certainly not be returning back. POOR!

Hambleton Hall Hotel Hambleton Hall is a former hunting lodge turned into a hotel and (Michelin starred) restaurant, that overlooks Rutland Water. We had a one night stay in June 2025 in the Fern Room, a first floor room that overlooks the formal gardens of the hotel. The room was large with a very comfortable bed, plenty of electrical sockets and a large bathroom with walk-in shower. I measured the WiFi in our room at a very respectable 40 Mbps download and 37 Mbps upload, plenty for normal internet usage. The hotel breakfast is made to order, with very good pastries from the local Hambleton bakery. The hotel lounge has a real log fire and is a very comfortable place to relax. The staff here were charming. I have stayed here a few times over the years and it has always been excellent.
