Overall Ratings & Reviews The Barnsdale, Rutland

Great stay, warm welcome, amazing buildings and grounds. Welcome drinks included, access to the spare with outdoor pool and hot tub, was amazing way to relax after a long drive. Room was great with lot of little touches that made the stay special. Will definitely return

Fabulous ! We have stayed here on numerous occasions snd this time did not disappoint. Great food and wine, comfortable and well equipped room, lovely and friendly staff and a glass of champagne in the hot tub - we’ll be back !

We loved it and plan to return asap

Friendly and attentive staff in beautiful surroundings.

It was the perfect country side retreat

I have contacted the hotel directly due to a number of things not being to the standard we would expect. The room was dirty and dusty, the doors across the hotel all slammed shut very hard which meant sleep was disturbed, we didn’t receive promised complimentary items.

Booked as surprise for daughter, supposed to be a distress break, spoilt by being inundated with phone calls to book evening meal, even called my daughter, break spoilt, cobwebs in room, massage booked cancelled twice by staff not turning up

Wonderful weekend break. Rooms, facilities and staff all wonderful

We really like this hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We liked our room and it was cosy too. We thought the newly renovated dining room was delightful but would have appreciated stronger lights so we could read in the bar area. A lovey stay and hoped to return soon.

The rooms are on the small side and so are the bathrooms but the bed was very comfortable and had some nice touches. Tea and coffee and biscuits. The menu wasn’t great but what we had was quite good.

Very friendly staff made this a thoroughly lovely experience. From the glass fo wine handed to you on arrival, you are left with the impression that the staff simply can't do enough for you. Excellent food in the restaurant (supper and breakfast) with prompt service thoughout. Even thought this was only a business stay, I would highly recommend this hotel to people visiting the area.

A comfortable and relaxing stay

Two night stay with my dog, enjoyed my time at the hotel until checking out, when the receptionists rolls her eyes when you question something or when you ask for a quick check out and just forward the receipt but she wont do it because its easier for her to do it then.. well it taints your stay a little. Apart from that, all good

This may be the first hotel that I have stayed at with complimentary drinks at reception and then also in the room. A nice touch! Rooms are clean, well appointed and have everything you need, want and works.

Great value very easy pleasant stay

Amazing place, wonderful treatment. The outdoor pool was great fun :) we will definitely be going back.

One great place to stay

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.

The slightly negative review revolves around the bathroom in our room. It was clearly designed to be wheelchair accessible, which I applaud (even though I am not a wheelchair user), however, as a result the bathroom was very sparse and basic, comparable in fact to a hospital bathroom (and arguably worse). There was not even a toilet lid, everything was made of plastic, and worst of all there was a very bad smell emanating from the shower drain which made its way into the bedroom. The spa was amazing, however.
