Hambleton Hall

Excellent Hotel in a beautiful location. Staff very attentive, polite and friendly. Immaculately clean, attention to detail. Very helpful and well informed to assist with GF options, never needed reminders. Highly recommended. Appeared to be several guests on returning visits, that says alot .

Very snowy day. Met at entrance with smiling staff and assisted with coats etc. Lounge warm cosy and relaxing to enjoy champagne and appetisers. The Sunday lunch menu is amazing. So many wonderful flavours on a plate. A named menu for a birthday guest which was greatly appreciated. Very relaxing and all staff very welcoming and helpful. The best venue around for a special treat. Christmas decorations still up and were stunning. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you to all.

We stayed one night in the Fern Room. Well wow, just wow. Everything was simply perfect. Amazing room and view over the water, ever from the bath! There was nothing amiss, great lighting in the bathroom, sockets where you need them, magnified make up mirror, comfortable (huge) bed. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the lounge by the fire before our fantastic dinner. Chatting to fellow guests, all of whom were returning so that says it all really. We are not really foodies, typically we avoid anything that involves tweezers but this was a real treat. The dining room was intimate and well set out, not on top of your fellow diners. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection, the service was faultless. Great wine selection by the glass and charming sommelier. Wish we had booked for two nights as I struggled to decide on my choice of lamb (Hubby had venison) both delicious. Outstanding cheese board served by a very knowledgeable young lady Tabby, wonderful English cheeses accompanied by a superb glass of port, the perfect end to a perfect meal. Breakfast - ditto, nice full English though we had to ask for proper toasting bread (not that sourdough that takes the roof off your mouth!) which duly arrived with no fuss. Signed up for the mailing list and can't wait to return.

This is one of the most beautiful places to stay. We came here to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary and could not have been better treated or spoiled by the wonderful staff. The hall is magnificent, and beautifully appointed and the rooms, including the dining room, are extremely comfortable and stylish.

Perfection We have stayed here several times in different rooms over the last few years. It has been consistently good. Delicious food, comfort and amazing staff. (Ignore recent reviews on this site). Yes it is ‘traditional’ not ‘buzzy’ and does attract a more mature crowd but that is what makes it great. It is the perfect place to go and switch off from the world. The gardens are wonderful and the swimming pool the perfect temperature and beautifully maintained . If you like delicious healthy food and an amazing experience you can do no better.

We booked an overnight stay for the day after our wedding (our minimoon). We booked The Willow Room which was £595.00 pp incl. breakfast. The room was very well appointed with beautiful views over Rutland Water. Whilst we were very happy with the room, I had to ask for body lotion as there was only one tiny bottle in the room. We also didn’t know where the slippers were (hidden in a drawer) and that was another trip to reception. Neither of these things are ‘major’ but at this price point I would have expected perfection. The evening meal was over seasoned (particularly my husband’s) the wine waiter was rude and was completely unhelpful, e.g. when asking for advice, his manner was somewhat dismissive and he stated, you need to be quick as I have other people to serve….., not the service that I have come to expect from Michelin star establishments. The breakfast (which we had as room service) was average at best, again, over seasoned.. This was not our first visit and would we return? Probably not, alas Hambleton is living on its previous reputation and didn’t make us feel special at all, despite our final bill being almost £1000.00 for a one night’s stay.
