Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

We stopped off to eat here as we walked around Rutland Water. The setting was lovely and we ate outside as it was unseasonably warm for October. A small but we'll maintained children's play area occupied the kids and the view was great. Staff were perfectly friendly but food was of disappointing quality, although well presented. Tasteless omlette, poor quality calves liver and average quality kids options (at best!). Enjoyed the stop but wouldn't go back for the food. less

We have just returned from a couple of nights in a Superior room at this hotel. The first room that we were offered was not to our liking. The room was cramped, the lampshades did not fit properly and the TV was askew. Poor housekeeping. The second room was an improvement although there was only a hand shower to the bath it wasn't an issue. Lovely views that were spoilt by a dingy net curtain that was there to hide the poor paintwork to the french windows. The bed headboard was marked by peoples heads resting on it and damage was repaired by what appeared to be correction fluid. There were two hard-backed chairs and only the bed offering comfort. Very limited space to hang clothes. The room was in need of a complete makeover and certainly not worth the money. The evening meal was delicious and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was basic. Toast was only done on one side on our first visit. Scrambled egg was on the menu but if you wanted unscrambled (omelette) you paid extra. less

Attended a wedding at the nearby church on the lake with the wedding reception taking place in the function room at this hotel, so this was a good choice to stop for the evening. We stopped in the annex just across from the main entrance. Some of the public areas were looking a bit tired but it was clean and we enjoyed our stay. Our room was fine with a comfortable bed. The breakfast in the morning was self-service and was good. less

I organise 1 or 2 events a year for 20+ people and this has been the best yet. Venue is attractive and well maintained, rooms are comfortable and clean, food is great or as Charlie said “the best chips ever” , that was our teenagers response, the full menu kept the other 20 equally happy. The staff friendly and helpful allowing me to run my event without issue, perfect wedding venue. Will I be going back? Absolutely less

The hotel makes a great stop off for a cuppa and cake when taking a walk / cycle around the lake. Quick efficient friendly service - lovely outdoor gardens with views of the lake. Inside reception requires tlc...mostly older guests. Seemed set up for weddings. Lovely location. Very friendly staff. less
