4/10 Fair

Booked for two night's, arrived to be told kitchen was close due to issues, room was dark, bed uncomfortable, cold tap broken, and towels smelt odd, went out to get something to eat and got back to find pub shut up, admittedly I had been given key code but left in room as wasn't expecting pub to close on a Friday night, so no evening pint, left in empty pub all night, but were told someone would do us breakfast, which was basic, came back later in day to find kitchen still shut so no food again, we had decided to stop in a pub so no worries with food! Decided to leave then as one night was enough.

Booking error by Hotels.com

Hotels.com didn’t make me aware that the hotel was closed, the owners of the hotel were not expecting guests, as they were refurbishing the hotel, fortunately the hotel owners were great and arranged a room for me to stay. The hotel is in a good location to explore Rutland Water, I would be happy to stay again but wouldn’t book through Hotels.com
Penny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Just ok

The gentleman who greeted us was friendly and polite, our room was a good size and clean but quite basic and there were no toiletries provided as stated in the listing. There was supposed to be a bar, restaurant and coffee shop on site- non of these were open. Breakfast fast was ok but consisted of two options, take it or leave it, there was no fruit, cereal or juice just a basic English breakfast. Overall the place was ok for our one night stay but we wouldn’t return

Very friendly and just reopened with new management and a major refurbishment, can see in the future this will be a very popular place to stay.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The latest owners took over less than three weeks before our stay and the operation is clearly in transition. Management and staff very friendly, food was excellent and room was a little dated.
John, 1-night trip

Such thoughtful room amenities and very spacious. Very tasteful interiors. The food is excellent, worth staying just for that.

Bit of a shame

We stayed for 1 night, arrived late at night, there was someone present when we arrived and they checked us in, breakfast was to be served at 8:30 in the morning. We showed up at 8:40 for breakfast, no one there, we looked everywhere, not a soul, we tried calling the hotel, no answer. Breakfast isnt really included if theres no one to serve breakfast! We had to go somewhere else instead. Only plus point was that the beds were comfy.

Noel at Whitwell

Good food, friendly, helpful staff and a lovely area to explore around Rutland water. Room decor a little tired and could do with a little facelift but all things considered we would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable bed,basic accomodation with tea and coffee making facilities .cleaning in bathroom not great. But on the whole we had a good nights sleep ,and the staff very pleasant and gave us a very good breakfast.

6/10 Good

The room we got was toward the road so it was quite noisy.
Priyanka, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Karen and her team had only been in the property for a short time before our visit and the project is a work in progress. The bar and dining areas have been tastefully revamped. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The team were very friendly and helpful. The food, both breakfast and evening meal was delicious. The Noel is ideally placed for visiting Rutland Water and surrounding area.

Loved Noel at Whitwell

My friend and I had a lovely stay here last night. We arrived in the afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Karen. We were really well looked after by Karen and her team and nothing was too much trouble. Our twin room was lovely and the beds really comfortable with lovely touches in the bathroom in case we had forgotten anything. Our food in the restaurant was delicious … the best steak I have had in a while and my friend said her burger was amazing. A real gem of a place at Rutland and we will definitely be back! So lovely to find somewhere with great food, comfortable rooms and amazing customer service. Thank you Karen and your team!
Sara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was booked in for 2 nights but ended up only staying 1 as my circumstances changed, it was nothing to do with the staff or property. On the whole my stay was fine , bedroom clean and comfortable. I didn’t eat there so am unable to comment. I suppose the only complaints would be , the shower was awful , it was more like a dripping tap !! And although there was a garden area , it was tucked away across the carpark and no part was in the sun , also the main entrance wasn’t easily identifiable.. but other than that , the staff were friendly and helpful and the property was ideal for my needs just being across the road from Rutland water where I was doing the 2K Rutland swim
Kate, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We chose to stay here due to the easy access to Rutland Waters which was a lovely short walk away. The stay itself was ok, we had a slight incident of someone coming into our room thinking it was empty (could do with some chains on the doors or do not disturb signs or checking your own booking info), also if your running the place don't be the one being extra noisy at midnight, this was only one of the nights and probably a one off incident but kinda put a dampener on the weekend due to the lack of sleep after both incidents. Breakfast was lovely though and the chef was really nice and accommodating. Like I say perfectly placed to visit the lake and local villages. I hope our incidents were probably one offs
Kieran, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable stay

The important question first: would I stay there again, and the answer is certainly yes. Bear in mind that this is formerly an old pub and some of the rooms have a quirkiness to go with it. Nevertheless, they are comfortable with everything you would expect from a modern hotel. The restaurant is good - don't miss Steak Night - and is recently reopened so the menu isn't in full swing. I've docked a point as the restaurant heating was broken for part of our stay but we were fine with big sweaters! Ian at front of house with Samuel in the kitchen are making a good job of getting the customers back.
