The food was good but cold. The service was slow and the staff was rude. I over heard them slagging off other customers behind the bar. We were seated in the back room and almost felt like we were forgot about. Nearly 2 hours to receive the food. My only advice to the owners is maybe stop employing children to run a buisness.

Rude staff

Fancied a stay near Rutland Water before walking the circumference and settled on the Hornblower. A really nice place bang in the heart of Oakham with great links to the surrounding area. 
The room was really comfortable and the bed tremendous. The pub offers a lovely choice of food and we didn't need to venture too far from the place in order to be well served for our stay. 
Thoroughly recommended.

Hornblowing It's Own Trumpet

Stayed over for business - wonderful character to the pub with the outbuilding transformed to accommodation , however the heating was at its maximum and I had a very uncomfortable night with the windows having to be opened.
Not usually a fan of Greene King establishments , however the beer wasn’t too bad , my only issue was the food .
The starter of garlic mushrooms on focaccia was tasteless , a hint of garlic but no seasoning 
The beer battered fish and chips was huge but the tartar sauce again needed some punch to it.
Breakfast seemed bland also with the highlight being the toast

Charming B&B

The accommodation was very pleasant enough.  Very small room, no drawer space, could not access wi-if and parking was extremely limited.   I booked and paid in advance for a room with breakfast but the service was appalling.  We ordered two cooked breakfasts at 8.30 am.   We received tea and coffee  but after waiting 50 minutes we had still not received and had to leave as we were going to my brother’s funeral and had to meet other members of my family at 9.30 am.  

I am not in the habit of complaining but I had a very long and harrowing day ahead and a seven hour drive home afterwards so a good breakfast was essential.  On checking out the waiter said he would sort it out with the manager.  Unfortunately I didn’t have time to discuss it further and my husband was extremely annoyed.  I emailed the hotel with this complaint the following day but so far have received no response at all.

Disappointing

Another great stay in the Hornblower, staff and management are very good, stayed many times and cant fault the place and right in the centre of Oakham, with anything you need only a short walk away, food always of a high standard and breakfast will set you up nice for the day.

Really Nice Stay

Very friendly and helpful staff made sure that our stay was excellent. Exceptional breakfast with top quality fresh components including delightful little wrapped pats of local butter. 
 Good car park at the back of the hotel. 
Hospitality tray with Highland Spring water, variety of Twinings tea bags etc and plenty of milk capsules.

Exceptional breakfast

Enjoyed a two night stay with family and highly recommend. As per other reviews the staff make it. Great service and helpful even when we were locked out of our room! Lovely breakfast included. Good location despite carpark- tip- ask for the separate postcode! Tip- kitchen closed mid afternoon. Beer garden nice and relaxing

Great experience

Decided to stop at the Hornblower for a couple of nights on way back from Devon as we had stopped in for a drink on a previous visit. So pleased we did. The room we had, number 1, was great. The food, both breakfast and dinner was exceptional and the overall ambiance of the place we felt was great.

What made the experience truly lovely though were the staff. Everyone we met were incredibly friendly but in a very natural way. All were very attentive and made you feel quite special.

Great place, great people.

Couldn’t fault

Stayed over the bank holiday weekend with my partner, the room and pub it self very clean and tidy. The staff were fantastic and very helpful in giving us pointers what to do in the area. Car park is a little tricky as its only small but again staff very accommodating to try and get us squeezed in. Breakfast in the morning was first class. Will definitely stay again when we are back in the area. 

Great place with fantastic staff

Had a really great breakfast at the Admiral Hornblower after spending the night elsewhere in Oakham. Despite our group having multiple food allergies we received super and friendly service and delicious food. Next we shall book rooms too.
