Rutland Hall Hotel is an idyllic escape, where guests can choose to stay in the elegant and romantic and Rutland Hall or in a stylish room, suite or apartment in one of the separate modern accommodation blocks, or perhaps opt for a Lakeside lodge. There are 31 self-catering, dog-friendly Lodges nestled beside the lake, each accommodating between two and six guests, making them perfect for a family getaway.

At Blossoms Restaurant and Bar, guests can enjoy lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and drinks from the seasonally changing menus curated by Executive Head Chef Sumit Chakrabarty, which include the likes of goats cheese tarte tatin, truffled wild mushroom arancini, lemongrass infused Scottish salmon, super slow cooked English beef and pan-fried wild stone bass.

The Leisure Club offers a 22m indoor pool and a range of fitness classes (aqua aerobics, yoga, zumba, pilates) and there’s even pitch and putt and a crazy golf course on site too and there are plenty of activities to get in to at nearby Rutland Water, both in the water and on dry land. Stay tuned to hear more about plans for the spa facilities too, which are having a big refurb at the mo. Planning a fairytale wedding? Plump for one of Rutland Hall’s packages, accommodating between 25 and 500 guests, or opt for a straightforward venue hire, allowing you to tailor your day exactly as you want it.

Arriving in style? Don’t worry, there’s even a helipad, so you won’t even need to get the Bentley out of the garage.
