“This former hunting lodge delivers a deeply refined country house experience, with impeccably kept gardens and rooms that echo the property's historic charm, all set against the backdrop of Rutland Water. While the kitchen consistently impresses with its creative, locally sourced dishes, a slight lag in bar service on one occasion suggests that even a well-oiled machine can occasionally falter under pressure. Nevertheless, the attentive staff and overall sense of elegant tranquility make it a distinguished choice for a special occasion.”
