Lovely relaxing resort perfect for a week away but not really for an overnight work stay.
Pros:

Lovely setting and very nice room.

Cons:

Wasn't signposted well and spent half hour walking around in the dark. It was then another treck from reception to the room.
A lovely resort but bigger than I anticipated and you couldn't get room delivered to the room.

Satisfactory and comfortable stay.
Pros:

Conveniently located for the wonderful Rutland Water and surrounding countryside. Comfortable room.

Cons:

There was no hot water for a bath or heated towel rail and the phone didn’t work so we had to change rooms. The decoration was a little tired and these not particularly in keeping with a country house hotel.

Great location, noisy accommodation block.
Pros:

Lovely location by Rutland water, walks from the shore to the small marina straight from the hotel. Friendly welcome from the staff. Pleasant room, all clean and modern style.

Cons:

The actual accommodation was in a 2 storey block behind the main hotel and to be honest it felt like we were in university halls with people clomping up the stairs, doors slamming , pumps making noise every 20 minutes and, yes a fire alarm at 11pm, no restful sleep that night.
The evening food was ok but the hot breakfast buffet was left too long so very dry bacon , rubbery egg etc.
The pool was very shallow, not that easy to swim in. The steam room was nice and hot if a little small. Clean changing facilities.

Great stay for a walk around Rutland water
Pros:

Great hotel and accommodation set in beautiful grounds

Cons:

Needed a jacuzzi / hot tub in the spa area. There was no room here to sit and chat you always felt in the way when in the pool.
I would have liked a bath in my room the other 3 guests had baths in their rooms
