The Admiral Hornblower
What Guests Say
We enjoyed our stay at the hornblower very much. Our room was lovely, spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was delicious, cooked fresh, generous and a good choice including smoked salmon. The evening meal was delicious to and good quality and generous portions. The staff were very friendly especially the manager Luke who was very helpful and welcoming.it was well placed for Rutland water and not far from Stamford. We will definitely stay again.

There was a lovely, homely feeling about the place. Staff were well mannered and attentive. We booked a table for our evening meal and in addition to the general menu we were offered the festive menu, which came as 2 or 3 courses. We only wanted the main course, and there was no problem with this, and it was a very good and tasty meal. The breakfast was great.

The room was nice, it was across the yard from the pub which was good. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was great value as breakfast was included and it was gorgeous. Staff were very nice. Parking advice: we were given a postcode to park but couldn't find it. If you follow the postcode then turn right (opposite Tescos) go through what looks like housing parking right down to the end, through a very narrow arch and there's parking there. Tesco car park is free for 2 hours if you want to check for spaces first. We were also previously given a postcode by the hotel for a local car park but it wasn't overnight, it was short stay, so research your car parks beforehand as there are long stay in Oakham too. Apart from the parking issue, we had a lovely stay.

Meals taken were excellent. Staff were extremely helpful (eg.: carrying cases, looking up information) and welcoming. The interior environment was attractive and spacious. The hotel was ideally placed for locations of interest to tourists

Nice hotel attached to a pub in the heart of Oakham. We stayed in the 4-poster bedroom which was large with a brilliant en-suite. But it is a drawback for a premium priced room (£130 per night !!) Rutland Water only 10 minute drive away- great for walks and stop off at the Hornblowers sister pub The Finch on the Hambleton peninsular for refreshments on the way back Breakfast was good with plenty of options and well cooked. We also ate in one evening and again food and service were good. Second night we ate at 10 Dining Street just around the corner. Great Indian with a BYO drinks policy. Defintiely enhanced the visit.

Excellent service. Manager moved his car so we could park in the car park rather than long stay. Very good breakfast.
