Our family chose this hotel for one night to spend the weekend in Rutland. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the area and the hotel building and grounds were beautiful. We booked the family room which is pictured on the hotels website and the room was really lovely, we were very pleased with the cleanliness and the... more

We got married in July 2007 and had our reception at Whitwell Hotel. Among the usual cleanliness, "country" feel, and personal service we found all staff to be were excellent, the rooms (especially the honeymoon suite) were nicely decorated, confortable and spacious, the food (a delicious BBQ for our Wedding breakfast), drinks at the bar to our own specifications.

Very late check in times ie. 3.00pm and was charged £10.00 extra... more

Very quiet Rutland Water is a low-key part of the country . see the raised church on the water (park at the nearby Hotel,... more

My husband and I stayed at the Whitwell Hotel recently. Considering it is only 3 years since being set up as a hotel, it is in dire need of re-decoration and updating. The room we were given was in the 'Noel', away from the main hotel above the Noel restaurant. It was shabby, small, with a high glazed window. I... more
