Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

We arrived today , friendly staff , nice clean room , decent Prosseco & Merlot ! But the setting & views , well they are breath taking , set right on Rutland water shores , I’m sat here now watching the sun set , it’s truly fabulous! It is without doubt one of the best settings for a relaxing get away ! Haven’t eaten here yet but food “ looks “ good ! It’s Old , but clean and surely that’s what matters ! If you want a “ setting “ then this is it ! Might try and get a deal to stay another night ! less

After paying more for an upgraded lake view room I would have expected more. The room looked worn and tired, holes in the wall had been filled but not finished off and adapter plugs were on show by the bed. The shower could not keep a steady temperature and varied from red hot to freezing cold even at non peak use times. The overall décor of the hotel looked as though it could do with a clean and brought up to date. Most of the staff did not look like they were happy to be there and serve you not giving a great atmosphere to the wedding we attended. There is no air con in the rooms and the mattress we had was harder than stone. Having seen the standard rooms I would recommend an upgrade however the upgraded rooms are worse than a premier inn room and you will pay over twice as much. Having said this the views of the setting sun over the reservoir were stunning! less

We spent just one night here and would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel. The staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable, The breakfast was good and the views and peace and quiet were just perfect. less

The route around Rutland water either for walkers or cyclists is delightful, with many opportunity to stop off for drinks or snacks on the way, the Best Western directly on the route we were on came just at the right time. Being British we were desperate for TEA. The gardens looked welcoming with places to sit among shady trees on a hot day, the provision of bike racks tells a welcome to cyclists which was thoughtful. Only requiring a good brew seemed not to be a problem when we requested a large teapot for two but we were tempted by some fresh scones with cream and jam. What could be better on a hot summer afternoon a couple of scones jam and cream washed down with builders brew? spot on Normanton Park thank you. Its hot for staff serving too so nice to get a smile and good service. Will return. less

Lovely hotel in idyllic spot. On our original visit some things went wrong. When we visited gain this year Noella had put everything right for us and we had a lovely time. Lovely food, very friendly welcome all the staff were excellent. Ideal spot to enjoy Rutland Waters and nearby Stamford and Burghley House. we will return less
