Best Western Normanton Park Hotel

Very good

Excellent location

Liked: All as expected for a 3 star hotel. Exceptionally good location with lake views, plus access to the lakeside path. Views of Normanton Church. Beautiful.
Disliked: Bathrooms a little in need of refurbishment, but adequate. Good range of toiletries.

Welcoming hotel in a lovely...

Liked: The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond when my elderly mother had a fall. They were also quick to deal with some maintenance issues with our original room and move us to a new room. Location is fantastic (and very handy for the parkrun), and we enjoyed both sitting on the garden terrace and eating in the conservatory with views of the lake. We had dinner in the hotel on all three nights and the food was excellent. We would stay here again.
Disliked: Some of the breakfast items ran out.

Disappointing

Liked: Nice location, hotel could do with a refurbishment
Disliked: We booked a dog friendly room, paid extra. The room was on the small side with a view of a bush right outside the window. The room was in need of updating, shower wasn’t thermostat controlled and it wouldn’t stay in the fixing very well. We were told that dogs weren’t allowed in lake view rooms. We ate in the bar area, food was good although again there is no option to have a lake view whilst having a meal, if you have a dog with you. The hotel is in a lovely setting right on Rutland Water and might be ok for those without dogs. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Hotel and staff lovely If...

Liked: Like location
Disliked: As we were up early next morning didn’t appreciate being kept awake by people talking loudly under our room

Exceptional

Liked: Proximity to Rutand Water is literally through the hotel garden. Beautiful setting.

Excellent place to stay and...

Liked: Beautiful place to stay. Just off a main route but down a quiet lane. Good parking. Beautiful room, large, quality furniture and linen. We had a courtyard room so could park right outside the room which was perfect for us. Lovely gardens to walk around and a gate down to the lake area with more lively walks. Very nice breakfast
Disliked: Nothing

Exceptional

Liked: Stunning location. Quiet rooms in courtyard even with dogs
Disliked: Aircon on hot days

Charming hotel with lovely staff...

Liked: The staff were lovely, the view over the lake was gorgeous and breakfast was wonderful in a beautiful airy light room. I needed to add a friend whio is a student, and the receptionist very kindly changed us to a family room for the same fee. We loved sitting out in the garden among the stunning trees. Our room was large and the bathroom also spacious, with a fast running large bath.
Disliked: The plug was unserviceable in our bath (allendale room) - I had to deploy a hair slide to dig it out. There was quite a strong fragrance, perhaps on the carpets?
