Barnsdale Hall Hotel and Country Club Review

Beautiful hotel but the food isn't fit for a fast food restaurant . Really disappointing

Lovely and clean, staff really friendly and helpful. Didn't eat in the restaurant on this occasion but would love to stay again. Only very slight complaint I found the bed a bit hard

Room and overall surroundings was spot on,food was a bit disappointing choice wise on the menu for the restaurant we felt and quite expensive. Luckily was pie week so had an excellent meal. Drinks expensive but you expect that. Overall very good

Really nice place only down side is wished they had a relaxing reception room where you could get refreshments but saying that the hotel probably really caters for the sporty and those who use it as a base for activities but staff cheerful and nice and helpful.

Beautiful scenery and hall. Many accomodation to suit all tates. Stunning grounds that the hotel is situated. Nice spa and resturant. Lovely place for relaxation for couples families or individuals.

Went for a wedding fayre and very impressed with the venue and the staff

Lovely setting but lodges and restaurant /bar area looking good a little dated and tired. Not seen hotel rooms though

The environment is beautiful, there are great views of Rutland Water. The staff are polite and helpful. One of the best parts of this hotel is the food. I had some of the best beef I have ever eaten. The leisure facilities are great, the pool is a good size and the Jacuzzis, sauna and steam room are relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone!

A very nice place to visit the staff are really friendly the food is amazing the rooms are very clean and fresh looking I definitely recommend this is a nice place to stay for the weekend maybe a week

A great hotel comfortable surroundings and they serve good food

This resort was wonderful it was more than I expected it had plenty of space for the whole family I recommend this place is beautiful

Lovely spot and great value. Huge potential. Would love to see the lodges updated.

Furniture in rooms are dated, good experience, pleasant staff

Our wedding venue so fabulas place, great staff and welcoming

Myself and my friend went to Barnsdale today for Afternoon Tea, our favourite hobby. We had a lovely warm welcome and a really scrumptious vegetarian afternoon tea, 4 different sandwiches, a yummy scone, carrot cake, chocolate brownie, blueberry cheesecake and flapjack and as much tea as you wanted. Great customer service and excellent value. We will return.

V.good room. Excelkent welcoming friendly staff. Beer choice not good.

Fabulous views, tranquil location. Impressive venue with everything onsite. Comfort clean with good food. Wonderful staff. Great onsite parking.

Great place to stay for walks round Rutland Water. Very clean hotel rooms with super friendly staff. Nice local villages and towns all around within a few mins drive. Would definitely go back.

Fantastic hotel, wonderful location. Breakfast delicious. Can find nothing bad to say about this place.

Very high quality accommodation in the beautiful setting on the shores of Rutland water. Excellent leasure facilities. Many interesting places to visit within short driving distance. Have visited more than once and always enjoyed.

Got married here 24 years ago,so decided to go back for a long weekend. It's even nicer than it was before. Friendly staff,beautiful rooms, excellent food and stunning views.

Reasonably priced, the hotel is situated on beautiful grounds with great views and countryside to explore. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and fresh, the only downside was the wall was fairly thin so could hear our neighbours. The bathroom had been recently renovated so new and fresh. WiFi was free and easy to access and was good quality. Overall a great place to stay.

Went for a walk around the woods with our dog. A lovely picturesque walk and dog friendly.

From the outside this place looks spectacular and the site is beautiful. There's no doubt about that. However, there are some drawbacks that are just unforgivable, especially given the price.

Firstly, the rooms are dated and the mattress in mine was lumpy and desperately in need of replacement. It was one of the most uncomfortable sleeps I've ever had in a hotel.

Secondly, whilst the restaurant menu is okay the service is not. The staff are mostly very young and simply have not been trained enough. For example, nobody ever asked if we wanted more drinks. Also, nobody ever came to take empty glasses away. There were lots of staff wandering around, and we were at our table for ages. This is not asking for much. Even Wetherspoons periodically take empty glasses away when they build up. I could have ended up with three empty pint glasses all in the middle of the table. Why should I for those sorts of prices? This is not asking for much. Finally, nobody ever came to ask if the meals were okay, which is another basic thing. Again, even Wetherspoons do that much of the time.

Lovely food, beautiful area and great selection of drinks!

Has a lot of very beautiful chalets in beautiful peaceful gardens on a time share basis. Hotel has an extensive spa open to all residents. Beautiful setting by Rutland Water.

Brilliant location for exploring the beautiful county of Rutland. Wonderful views over the water, staff lovely, breakfast awsome

Beautiful location and views. Reception staff very helpful. Disappointed with the quality of furniture which was very worn and mattress was worn coil sprung and noisy when turning over.The bedroom didn t compliment the bathroom which was More

Fantastic location and view of the reservoir. Welcoming and good customer service.

A hotel in lush greenery that I recommend. More than plethoric equipment. A smiling staff and always ready to help.We will return.

My husband and l went Monday afternoon for a cream tea. We had been given a Voucher by a friend for Christmas. The cream tea was ok and the setting nice. But the staff were not friendly. Not a smile from any of them. We did not feel welcome at all. Would not recommed this place. It was an hours drive each way for us and a smile of welcome would have been nice.

Outdated rooms and service, terrible food partially compensated by great location and facilities.

Great for a quiet weekend. Enjoy the sauna and steam room

Lovely setting but the hotel itself was a bit tired and in need of a bit of help !!
Small room, a little bit old fashioned and desperate for a spruce up.

Stopped in a lodge for 2nd time in five years ,got to say it's a lovely place and with the weather being nice its probably perfect for outside families who enjoy cycling etc .. swimming pool is great also .staff are really friendly.loved it will be back when timeshare becomes available again

Very nice location overlooking the lake, the sunset is lovely over the water. We had a pleasant one night stay here, the room was fine, very clean with the usual three star level of fittings. The hotel building is very historic and the story is lovely. The ambience of the building is really nice particularly in the setting but I think they've probably overdeveloped the site now which detracts from the overall experience as they've crammed a lot on to quite a small footprint. That said we had a lovely time here nonetheless come with the breakfast was good as well. Worth a visit. Mainly for the location and the building.

Although the room was a little dated it was adequate we had the superior room as we upgraded from a small double had lovely views over the water bathroom clean modern kingside bed very hard Breakfast great Benn able to use the leisure facilities was great all in all lovely place

My neice wedding was here and it was beautiful from start to finish. Great scenery, wonderful food and service. The hotel room was spacious and very comfortable.
Fantastic experience

Beautiful grounds, friendly staff and excellent location. A real hidden gem and so much to do in the area. There are plenty of guides in the rooms to tell you what there is to do, places to eat etc. Room was slightly dusty and there was a small stain on the sheet but it's hardly the end of the world for the price of the rooms

An absolutely fantastic hotel surrounded by stunning scenery. The staff were very friendly and gave valuable information. The pool and spa made the stay extra special as the weather was a bit blustery! We highly recommend a stay in this charming hotel in Rutland. What a find!!

Great facilities, beautiful setting and friendly staff. Unfortunately the spa is shut on a Monday though. Fabulous afternoon tea though, beat carrot cake I've ever had!

Beautiful location. Nice hotel that needs some polish to reach its potential. Food average.

Right next to Rutland Water. Friendly, polite staff. Cosy room, great stay for the evening.

Brought this for my daughter and son in law..They came back today..Beautiful location.Breakfast great just a shame the room was very small and dated..As is the gym area..Needs an uplift desperately..Used to be the place to go..Sadly not what it used to be.

Great room, amazing views and a fantastic breakfast

Excellent venue for conference as well as leisure breaks, comfortable rooms and good goody.

Great location, stayed in a fantastic room in the old hall. Food was really good in the hotel

Beautiful room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Overlooks Rutland Water

Bar lunch had to be returned. Obvious staff shortages did not help. Stayed 2 nights. Tea facilities and bathroom toiletries not replaced for 2nd day. Pitch and putt golf not maintained with no flags or tee markers. Pool area was excellent.

Beautiful surroundings overlooking Rutland water. Accommodation stunning and caters for every self catering need. So peaceful.......

Nice rooms, great views, good amenities. We had a great time and look forward to going back.

I only did a delivery but the staff there are always helpful

Beautiful roomand brillant view from balcony. Food very nice .

Food was delicious and the staff were amazing but drinks were rather expensive

Large sprawling complex with a lot of things to do onsite and nearby. The hotel itself is a bit tired and could do with a refresh. On its own it would have got 3 stars but the staff were great and bumped it up. They were friendly and helpful. Thanks

Beautiful place in gorgeous surroundings. Well worth a visit.

Very vivid secure. Great food and the swimming pool was perfect

Booked for afternoon tea. Clearly described as pet friendly on various sites but turned away in reception after travelling to the hotel . Very small dog and we offered to keep her in her travel bag. We stay in many 5 star country hotels and never had a problem before . This is a 3 star and they came across as very pretentious on this . They suggested we had them confused with Barnsdale Lodge but we had not!

Quick and easy check in. Room needs an update but the bathroom was nice and modern. Gym/pool is like an escape room, with codes and coins and corridors and doors, good luck; but the facilities are good.

The location of this hotel is great. My room was clean and comfortable with a large bathroom. The downside was that my window faced a wall, there are other rooms that have better views I am sure but mine was disappointing. I had a walk along the waters edge which was nice. I ate in the bar which was a typical bar menu. The main reason to stay here is the lovely location.

Wonderful stay for our 29th wedding anniversary .Hotel very clean ,food delicious staff very friendly and helpful .Very in pressed with covid-19 measures through out hotel. Will definitely be back to this delightful hotel Julia and Shane X

Very friendly staff and clean & comfortable rooms. The place is huge with picturesque views. The food was delicious. We used the pool, sauna and hot tub during our stay - it was nice and relaxing!

We booked here for a couple of nights get away. It overlooks Rutland water but because of the weather there were no beautiful views to see. Also our room was at the back of the hotel and all we could see was a yellow wall! However due to the weather this was no great loss! This was the only downside of our visit. The bed was very comfortable and a good size ... the ensuite was HUGE and had all the necessities. Breakfast was included and again very high standard including veggie sausages cooked to order. The spa and pool was also included in the price: again very good and clean. Just one point - we needed an old pound coin or trolley token to use the lockers. A very good value high-quality hotel at a competitive price. All the staff helpful, polite and informative. Much cheaper than some chain hotels I looked at first. We will visit again hopefully with better weather.

Really nice location overlooking Rutland water but very overpriced for the room. Rooms are nice size but are dated

Nice. Restaurant needs a little work. And better music but otherwise lovely

Great service, except golf course not kept in the best condition

A lovely lakeside location. Comfortable room, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Menu choices a little limited. Good value conference facilities.

Tired decor. Food less than average. Great location

Was ok too far to walk to restaraunt! If raining you got soaked. Not enough parking space food very average and was getting charged for a bar bill clearly someone else had signed!.

Great location nr rutland water, friendly staff and fab breakfast. Stayed in the honeymoon suite in the main building. The only negative would be having to go outside to another building for meals...not good in the rain !!!
