Very convenient to find by car, tranquil setting and good off road parking. Spacious/well appointed room, very comfortable bed and an equally spacious bathroom. Quirky decor which suited our taste..Excellent food; for dinner we opted for Greek specialities for starters and mains. The chocolate pudding/mousse was thick set and wonderfully decadent! The full cooked breakfast was equally good.

evening meal both nights excellent , all the staff very good
Located in Oakham and with Leicester Train Station reachable within 20 miles, Oakham Hotel has a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.
On average, 3-star hotels in Oakham cost $151 per night, and 4-star hotels in Oakham are $187 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Oakham can be found for $197 per night, on average (based on Booking.com prices).
Oakham is such a lovely place to wander around. You could start at the Castle Cottage cafe within the castle grounds and see the walls of horseshoes, wander down the high street to the small-but-perfectly-stocked Walkers bookshop and pick up the best pork pie from Leesons butchers or perfect bap from Hoagies next door. Pop into Victoria Hall for art from local artists and watch Oakham's resident potter in action. Lots of independent shops.
The museum is free and was surprising excellent (loved the friendliness of the staff and the good selection of gifts for children and arty people).
There is a market on Wednesday and Saturday - veg and a baker, with florist, fishmonger, butcher, dairy and picture framing among others.
Dog friendly banking hub if you need cash, And so many great pubs!
Recommendations: Jamel's cafe, Sarpech (fancy Indian), Hitchins Barn (fancy English), Mill Street for fancy shops then through to the Maltings for Rocka-Buy Records, Finkey and Dean Street are cute to walk along. The Grainstore brewery do tours which come with a ploughmans, and you'll want to stay local or catch the train home afterwards! Ovation for wine and cocktails. For lounging near a fire, try Wisteria Hotel or the George on the market square.
There seems to be a lot of concerts in the park in the summer (most Sundays), and lots of beer festivals too (CAMRA in the museum, the grainstore pub). The library and the museum have leaflets for what's on. Wednesday lunch you might be able to catch a free Oakham School concert in All Saints Church.
If you are into bird-watching, apparently Rutland Water is one of the best places for it.
Trains don't run on Sunday mornings - one to bear in mind if you want to visit Stamford (which is easiest by train).
Public toilets: Church Street, in the castle or one in the library.

I love the scenery, the wildlife, I'm a walker, so great walks, the town of oakham has everything u need, but what I like most is it's not commercialised, still a pretty little market town.i also used train & went to peterborough, the parking at the station was only £2.50 for the whole day. I had lunch one day at a lovely little cafe tucked in the corner of the market Square called Hungry Birds.

There are some pretty villages around in this area. Also, of course, Rutland Water is a great attraction, with walks, cycle rides and many water activities.
Oakham itself has the remains of a castle with a tearoom.

Lovely little town perfectly located for exploring Rutland Water and visiting the famous Ospreys. Can recommend the San Giorgio restaurant for great Italian food, best to book at weekends and in summer, it's very popular.

I have travelled to oakham for over 9 years now, I live in Lincoln but have workshop and customer in Oakham . I am still finding new things when I’m there and the surrounding areas including Rutland waters always worth a trip
The location is absolutely breathtaking. It is what I would call a resort hotel where there is enough to do that you need not venture off site. I found the hotel and all communal areas were immaculate. There is a beautiful design to the interiors. Breakfast was a good offering with plenty to fill you for the day. I found the staff to be excellent. I'm afraid my expectations of staff in the UK to be generally poor so it is always pleasant when you find it closer to Dubai standards.
Fantastic hotel, perfect location for Rutland Water, lovely views, attention to details 2nd to none with complimentary glass of wine on arrival, cookies on the door, water and tipple in the room, so many personal touches. Comfortable bed and large room. Beautiful building and courtyard. Cosy restaurant and bar.
The very kind chap from the restaurant next door. He was part of the hotel but it's an "unmanned" hotel, so I think he was covering for a manager (flood conditions in local area making travel difficult- that was my reason for having to book the hotel!)
The Wisteria hotel is ideally placed for walking around Oakham, and is a short drive from Rutland Water.
The staff, without exception, were friendly and helpful. The breakfast options were good. Hotel decor was up to date and comfortable.
Returned to the hotel after many years and it's still as beautiful as it was, overlooking Rutland water. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy walks by the lake.
