Hotel without views of Rutland Water

It’s a nice enough hotel, quite old fashioned, but spa area is lovely - outdoor pool small but warm enough on October. Sauna & hot tub were wonderful. Just a real shame that the hotel didn’t have views of Rutland Water - it really could be in any field anywhere in the UK.

Liked: Staff & service
The slightly negative review revolves around the bathroom in our room. It was clearly designed to be wheelchair accessible, which I applaud (even though I am not a wheelchair user), however, as a result the bathroom was very sparse and basic, comparable in fact to a hospital bathroom (and arguably worse). There was not even a toilet lid, everything was made of plastic, and worst of all there was a very bad smell emanating from the shower drain which made its way into the bedroom. The spa was amazing, however.
