Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

Sited right at the waterfront of Rutland Water, this small hotel is a real hidden Gem and wouldn’t have any hesitation in returning. Sitting on the northern shoreline only a few hundred yards from the half submerged Normanton Church with immediate access to long walks with your dogs, the Hotel is dog friendly with comfy rooms, reception areas and can be proud of the most amazing levels of friendly, efficient service !! With regards to the food, we were very, very pleasantly surprised with the highest quality of the Chef’s skill sets, it was absolutely superb. A small but perfect menu and all four of us devoured with relish our different choices (if I lived locally I’d visit just for the food alone - rather than the Michelin just over the water) Wine list was limited in choice but each one was of excellent quality, value and matched the menu perfectly. Some say the hotel is a bit tired, I say it’s perfect, full of character and warmth rather than marble, glass, stainless steel ! less

What a lovely setting, we really enjoyed our stay..decor is very tierd and cleaning could be improved ..The staff are great nothing was too much trouble..we will definitely be staying here again very soon less

Located next to Rutland Water, this is an old picturesque hotel set amongst beautiful scenery. The restaurant and food are exceptional with breakfast served in The conservatory overlooking the lake. The bed was absolutely awful, though less

Stunning location and what should have been a wonderful weekend let down by the hotel. No complaints about the staff who were very friendly and did everything asked of them. However, our room and the hotel generally was just so tired. I suggest a complete make over is long overdue. less

Visited for a wedding. Have to say the food was presented very well but nearly cold! We had a room upstairs which was very small and also felt quite grubby and unloved. I just think there are some kitchen/housekeeping issues which is a real shame as the setting is beautiful and would definitely visit again if I thought the issues had been resolved. less
