The Spotlight on Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

Peaceful Countryside Retreat with Stunning Lakeside Views

Modern comfort meets scenic charm at the Best Western Normanton Park Hotel, a 3-star gem nestled on the shores of Rutland Water. Just 8 miles from Oakham and easily accessible from the A1 and M1, this hotel is surrounded by rolling countryside and historic landmarks—perfect for travelers looking to combine live music with a relaxing escape.
Whether you're exploring local castles or heading to a nearby concert, this tranquil spot offers a beautiful contrast to the buzz of the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location near Oakham makes it a smart choice for those attending gigs in the area, especially if you prefer a peaceful place to recharge after a high-energy night. Its proximity to the A1 and M1 means late-night travel back from nearby venues is straightforward. While there's no city noise here, you’ll find the calm atmosphere perfect for next-day recovery. Check-in starts from 14:00, and check-out isn’t until 11:00—giving you time for a leisurely morning after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a scenic base with access to local attractions
  • Solo travelers wanting a quieter space after a big night
  • Couples turning a concert into a countryside weekend getaway
  • Fans needing rest after standing-room-only shows
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value outside the city

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features on-site dining with picturesque views of Rutland Water—ideal for unwinding after a show. While there’s no mention of 24-hour room service, the hotel’s restaurant and bar serve up hearty meals and drinks. Breakfast is available, perfect for those who stayed out late. For more variety, Oakham’s pubs and eateries are just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but it offers a cozy bar where you can grab a drink and reflect on your concert experience. If you're looking for more action, the local area features welcoming pubs and traditional inns with live music on weekends. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a quiet pint or head out for something livelier in nearby towns.

What People Say

Guests love the stunning lakeside views, friendly staff, and peaceful vibe. Many mention the relaxing atmosphere as a major plus after a night out. The location is praised for being convenient yet quiet, and the grounds are perfect for a morning stroll. Travelers also appreciate the ample parking and easy road access.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the décor feels a bit dated in places, and Wi-Fi can be spotty depending on the room. But for most, the peaceful setting and helpful staff more than make up for these minor issues.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a restful, scenic retreat after a concert—and don’t mind a short drive from the venue—the Best Western Normanton Park Hotel is just the ticket.

Nice stopover but a bit...

Liked: The location was lovely , perfect stopover for an event at Rutland show ground . Bedding was clean, biscuits, plenty teas and coffee. Glasses for water. Clean towels . Nice toiletries.
Disliked: The room was dated and in need of an upgrade. The mattress seemed old and was soft and creaky. The bathroom was dated and had mould round the seals round the shower. The windows were old and there was a handle broken on the window .
