The Barnsdale - Hotel in Rutland
The Avenue, Oakham, Exton, LE15 8AH, Rutland
England,
Reino Unido
Guests are greeted with a glass of wine, the log-burner gives out that gorgeous wood smoke smell and cheerful staff glide about making sure all is running smoothly. Find yourself a quiet corner in the Orangery, bar or brasserie, all leading directly into each other with lots of natural daylight. Communal areas have fresh flowers and candles on the tables and low sofas for those wanting a chat or to look at the seasonally-adjusted menu. There are two or three daily specials and some of the ingredients are homegrown.
Peaceful bedrooms (some with watery views) vary in price and size and all are named after local places or birds. You'll find a tipple of 'The King's Ginger' and some biscuits waiting for you. Wake to a handsome breakfast of porridge and berries, eggs Benedict or Florentine, full English, avocado and sriracha. Borrow wellies and walk it off in the garden.
Try two Rutland ales on pump and some fine local gins.
