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

Idyllic Pub and Rooms in Chocolate box village
A proper Jewel in a crown of a County. About 10 mins from Oakham and 15 from the A1. Located in one of the many chocolate box villages. Large open bars and restaurant where nothing was too much trouble. Large car park and idyllic upper permenant Gazebo area with tables and comfy furniture. We ate outside under the canopy relaxed by the sound of the waterfall. The place was so quiet and relaxing that we felt we had the place to ourselves. So much so we stayed there all afternoon/evening and didn't venture out until the next day. Both my wife and I felt so at home. The food was absolutely to die for and so much care and attention was given. Cooked to perfection and presented so well. I couldnt finish my steak it was so large. So unusual for me. I was devastated lol but comfortably full and that was without eating the fries. My wife said it was the best duck she had ever eaten. The room was clean and airy. The bathroom clean and well maintained. Despite all the rooms being booked we spent a quiet night. We messed up as we didnt realise that Breakfast was included. After the evening meal experience, we realised we had missed out big time. We won’t the next time we stay, you can be sure of that. A big shout out to the hosts who were incredibly welcoming and fabulous chefs 👍 It would be an incredible wedding venue! In fact now I'm here I'm booking again!!!

A Curate's Egg?
Easy to find with good off-road parking. We opted for an evening meal which was very good, suggesting that our breakfast the following morning would be equally good. After a good night's rest, we emerged at the agreed time only to be ignored for 15 minutes. Breakfast tables had not been laid and the only free table was still sticky. There was no menu. When our breakfasts arrived, cereal was presented in what looked like a dog's bowl plus a soup spoon. The cooked breakfast arrived with burnt tomatoes and sliced bread that had merely been presented to a toaster. Marmalade was provided in a small bowl, where two distinct flavours had been merged. Overall, the morning experience was one of chaos with people coming and going with little interaction with the guests, such that we felt like an inconvenience.

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!

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

Couldn't do enough for me
I booked the Noel very last minute as I had to travel on business and avoid the forecasted storms. Despite me only placing my booking at almost 10.30pm, the owners went out of their way to contact me, ensure me that I would be able to get into the hotel and make my room super cosy for my arrival. Over and above what I would expect from any hotel to be honest and it didn't end there, even though their chef was off the following day, I was provided with a lovely cooked breakfast to see me on my way. Absolutely lovely people and can't thank them enough for looking after me so well.I would have no hesitation staying here again and in fact I hope that I will have to one day soon. Thanks again

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.
