About this property

Beautifully situated in the historic market town of Oakham, this 17th-century former farmhouse has been lovingly restored to offer luxurious guest rooms with Freeview TV, whilst still retaining its original features. A wonderfully characteristic, listed building, The Admiral Hornblower Hotel & Restaurant provides a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for your stays in Rutland. The smallest county in England, Rutland is home to historic villages, rolling countryside and the traditional market towns of Oakham and Uppingham. In the evenings you can enjoy the wonderful freshly prepared food in the Admiral Hornblower’s restaurant. All meals are accompanied by a wonderful choice of wines from the cellar and a variety of beers, including 3 traditional hand drawn ales.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
