Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

Although it was early a group of 40 had a pleasant evening here. Liver pate was so so as was the roast beef. People having the chicken or the fish fared very well. The sticky toffee pudding was probably one of the best I have ever had. Great venue for functions overlooking Rutland Water. less

This hotel is absolutely perfect for cycling at rutlan water, right on the waters edge and parking . Gardens lovely. Reception staff friendly. Hotel room clean, very small and tiny window up high, so no view. We wanted to stay as they allow dogs but didn't end up bringing her and probably good job as room was too small for her also and noisy from neighbours. Very good price so if on a budget it's perfect less

Nice setting as most people agree. Great for walks and cycling. On the whole the hotel and the rooms are adequate for the price but I am afraid there is a lot of repainting and renovating that needs to be done. Our room was ok with the necessary furnishings being available. Soaps and lotions provided. Bath was extremely difficult to get out of behind the glass screen and the bathroom was tiny - the door opened out onto the toilet. The toilet itself was some sort of automatic wash/bidet affair which although I wouldn't usually use one I did give it a go and absolutely nothing worked. The bath was a jacuzzi bath which I didn't try as the nozzles all looked pretty grim. I would imagine whoever has to wash and clean the bathroom probably has to actually get in the bath to give it a proper clean. Tea and coffee provided with biscuits which were fine. TV picture was good with a good selection of channels. Our room overlooked the water which was nice except the windows were all in need of a good clean as were the nets at the windows and all the paintwork was in need of a coat of paint. The garden area outside of the window was very poor with plastic pots and bottles laying around and plenty of weeds. A bit of TLC is what this hotel needs to bring it up to what could be a really nice hotel. Even the sign for the hotel as you walk around the reservoir is muddy and dirty so doesn't give a good impression less

Was not disappointed as had been advised by friends to stay there. Will stay again and pass onto friends. Very pretty setting and a good lace to relax and unwind whether a walk or a bike ride. Happy!! less

Had a very nice stay at The Normanton. It's in a fantastic location overlooking rutland Water. It's a lovely building with great character , The staff were very good and although we only had breakfast the food was very good. Our room ,although a good size and the bed was very comfortable could do ,in my opinion do with a few improvements to make the most of it. All the furniture was very dark and the carpet was dark blue , this sucked the light out of the room and made it very dark , even a bit gloomy , would be much better if everything was much lighter, The window would have had a great view , but this was blocked by net curtains , would be much better to have blinds if anyone wants privacy , The bathroom had a bit of mould around the bath sealant , just shows a lack of attention to the finer details , All in a great hotel , I would definately stay there again less
