for me the location was a 30 min walk from my workplace but I chose to walk, otherwise it would have been a very quick drive. Apart from a slightly temperamental door to the annex, it was a super comfy space and I had 4 of the best nights sleep I have had in ages! A loaded continental breakfast trolley was presented each morning; way more than I actually needed but very very thoughtful. There was also a great range of tea/coffee choices in the room along with some cutlery and crockery so I could bring back some food to eat in if I wanted to. Lovely big bathroom, everything I needed.

The breakfast was excellent. Location about 20 minutes from Rutland town centre, but as I was on a walking holiday, a bit of extra walking to meet up with the rest of my group wasn't an issue. Didn't use WiFi while I was there - though an open folder made me aware it was available. Didn't have too much interaction with couple who own the B&B as breakfast was served on a trolley to my room.

Could have found somewhere closer to town centre, but the good value for money of the property made up for this.

Property was located in a very quiet part of town. Parking was easy. The property was very clean and well appointed. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast provided a lot of choices. It would have been too much to eat everything! WiFi was good. Information booklet was good. Owner was friendly and welcoming.

A minor point but there were a few things left in the chest of drawers and the drawers didn't look great. There wasn't much space in the room, just enough to get around the bed. There was no table to rest a laptop on.

A lovely bedroom and en-suite bathroom with private entrance opening on to a very pretty and sunny courtyard garden. The bed was very comfortable and the room was well equipped with everything I needed. The breakfast was superb and I was able to enjoy it in the garden as it was a sunny morning. The hosts, Chris and John, were lovely and very welcoming, and I loved their little dog Maisie too. I thought it was excellent value for money and was in a good location. I will definitely stay again in the future.

Nothing - it was perfect for my needs.

From the moment John answered the door I felt very welcome and this continued throughout my stay. John quickly escorted me to my room and talked me through the the essentials and recommended somewhere to eat, and yes The Wheatsheaf is really good. My room (with private entrance) was warm, spotlessly clean and had all the facilities one needed. Breakfast was served in my my room at precisely the requested time and was absolutely delicious. To sum up I would highly recommend this lovely B&B where you are guaranteed 5 star service with the benefit of that all important personal touch.

It rained 😳

Great self-contained double room with large shower room in a nice residential area just outside the town centre. The hosts (John and Christine, very interesting people - don't fail to engage them about the beautiful county of Rutland and the various spectacular books they have authored!) were most welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. Plentiful supplies of teas and coffee, plates and cutlery etc. The breakfast, provided on a trolley with fresh juice, croissant, pain au chocolate, fruit, yoghurt, etc. was outstanding. And the bed was the most comfortable I've ever had in a Booking.com room! A real find - thanks for the stay! :-)

Extremely welcoming and helpful hosts; good sized and comfortable en-suite private room with thoughtful extras to make my stay more enjoyable. Very quiet area which was perfectly located for my visit to Rutland water. Delicious continental breakfast with lots of choice. Lovely, private courtyard garden which I was able to sit out in and relax. Would definitely use again. Excellent value

Nothing.

Absolutely perfect! I have stayed on 2 occasions recently and could not have asked for a better place to stay. John and Christine as so accommodating and friendly, and the breakfast...well, you are definitely in for a delight! The room and facilities are spotlessly clean and even more importantly - the bed is so comfortable. Thank you both so much, I really enjoyed my stays with you.

It was especially lovely, as I had stayed at least twice before, so, both it, and the hosts, were already known to me.

Having to look after my room (making bed, removing rubbish, washing mugs etc) Bathroom cleaning - toilet/showercleaning, changing towels, replenishing any necessities, making sure wash basins were clean, picking up bathmat. Non stick shower mat, not large enough. No stool in shower - or hand rail - easily added (to make it more disabled friendly!)

Great price and comfortable room. Hosts very helpful and knowledgeable about the area - there is a pictoral history book written and photograpged by them in the room. Oakham is an interesting place, especially what looked like the oldest part of the town around the castle. If you like good pubs I can recommend the Grainstore Brewery tap next to the railway station and The Wheatsheaf has one of the best pub gardens I've been in - and I've been to quite a few!

No dislikes really. It's about a 20 min walk from the town centre and a little uphill on the way back. Didn't bother me but good to be aware.
