Braunston
Old Plough, The. Pretty eighteenth century inn. LateRooms
Caldecott
The Old Plough. Its roots are fifteenth century, but this pretty little old post and ale house was significantly refurbished… in 1838. Grade-II listed, it offers both bed & breakfast and self-catering accommodation. TripAdvisor
Exton
Barnsdale Lodge. This hotel and restaurant near Oakham began life as a working farm back in the 1700’s. It remains in the hands of the same family, but the emphasis today is less on agriculture and more on hospitality. Lastminute.com
Oakham
King’s Arms Inn. An 8-room, four-star inn dating back to the 17th century. LateRooms.
Lord Nelson’s House Hotel. Effectively a “restaurant with rooms”, this is an attractive sixteenth century timber-framed building. LateRooms
Old Wisteria Hotel. Formerly a hunting lodge, part of this attractive hotel dates back to 1604. LateRooms
The Admiral Hornblower. There are ten en suite rooms on offer at this former farmhouse. The Admiral Hornblower dates from the 1600’s, and is, quite rightly, a listed building. TripAdvisor
Whipper-In Hotel, The. A true old coaching inn, the 17th century Whipper-In offers over 20 guest rooms, including a couple of Four-Poster suites. LateRooms
Teigh
Teigh Old Rectory. Fans of Jane Austen period dramas on television might just recognise this splendid old house – it was used as the Rectory of Mr Collins in the BBC’s mid-1990’s version of Pride & Prejudice. TripAdvisor
Rutland might well be England’s smallest county, but it possesses more than its fair share of historic buildings. As such, we feel that we must have overlooked somewhere special to stay that appeals to those of us who love historic hotels and inns. If you therefore know of anywhere that we might not yet have featured, please let us know. They can be accommodation of most types, boutique hotels, country inns, manor houses, castles and bed & breakfasts included. Any information is gratefully received.
