Myself and a friend stayed at this hotel this weekend and were sadly disappointed. The hotel seems to be in need of a general clean; our room had cobwebs in the corner of the ceiing and dust on top of the wardrobe. I was also unimpressed by the two dirty towels that were hanging on the bathroom rail, surely a... more

A great location in a lovely part of the world but the hotel needs to be cared for. It is a very old building and has plenty of character but the public areas need refurbishment and are quite frankly very dirty. The restaurant had been refurbished to look like bistro but wasn't in character with the hotel at all.We stayed... more

You could be fooled into thinking the Whipper-in Hotel is a nice Hotel given its prime location in the wonderful market town of Oakham in Rutland, its pretty exterior and premium room rates; however the experience is nothing like the expectation. The Hotel is extremely tired with peeling wallpaper and damp patches, the carpets are scruffy and the whole place... more

We were extremely sorry to read that you were not happy with your stay at The Whipper-In Hotel. It is very rare that we receive complaints regarding this hotel as the staff maintain very high standards especially in housekeeping, we have contacted our laundry company regarding the sub standard linen that was delivered, the towels actually had rust marks on...

I have stayed at the Whipper-In on a few occasions in the past, but recently I had the misfortune to stay there for three nights. The room was reasonably comfortable, if you can discount the sloping floors, the tiny doorway into the bathroom which is just waiting for you to forget how low it is. (You don't forget twice). Up... more

We stayed at The Whipper-Inn for 2 nights, the building has got lots of character and as you get in the building you can feel its cozyness. Our room was on the ground floor and opposite the courtyard. The room was a bit cold as the central heating system was off, there was a heater in the wardrobe, one of... more

I have to say that I was reluctant to pay £65 on my visit to Oakham, as I usually stay in B & Bs on my travels, but the friendliness of the staff changed my mind. My room was charming and very comfortable, and I liked the fact that the hotel bar would stay open just for me to have... more

Awful! Room smelling of sewage from the broken toilet discharge. One of our party had a baby and were given the room above the dance floor where a live band were on until midnight - the noisiest room in the hotel. Cracked ceilings, flaking paint, tatty furniture. No hot water in the morning. Sent complaint to Brook Hotels head office... more
