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

Cute little place with really friendly staff. Chef from Goa cooked me a great chicken dish from back home. Room had great character, low beams and view over the morning market. Free parking. 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.

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
