Clean and good value for money. Service a little quirky but this did not detract from the experience. 

Food very nice! Good mix of cosy pub and contemporary restaurant. Would definitely recommend/book again 

Lovely Stay

From the moment we arrived on the Friday night for a getaway weekend, we were made to feel welcome. The room was lovely, overlooking Rutland Water, and very clean! We went down to dinner and had the best service, delicious food and friendly staff. The next day, we had the best full English breakfast I have ever eaten, again with friendly service. The restaurant manager had already reserved us a table for the Saturday night, even though it was really busy, so our last minute plans were accommodated well. Another lovely meal! I would certainly return! A special place ❤️

A perfect weekend!

Just had a 2 night stay at the Finch's and it was great. The position was fantastic, the staff especially the restaurant manager unfortunately I didn't get her name, the young waiter Barney and the South African barman were excellent.....I was concerned with the reviews about the manager being rude, he wasn't rude as such but we could've been invisible! Other than that we really enjoyed our stay the food was top class and the room was good and we will definitely be coming back.

Short break

From the moment we stepped into the Finch’s Arms on our preview trip in January 2022, we knew it was the right place for us to hold our wedding celebration in July 2022 and we were not disappointed.  The atmosphere is wonderful, really relaxed created by a very busy close knit team. 
The Rooms are spotless and full of charm, the food outstanding, with views of Rutland water from the garden. 
It’s a  17th century Inn sympathetically restored so expect uneven floors and no air conditioning.
The Restaurant gets very busy even mid week in January, with locals, walkers and visitors so book to avoid disappointment.  If you are looking to hold an event or celebration Andrew, the events Manager, will take time to discuss your requirements and help you with any changes in these uncertain times.
If you are looking for a relaxed meal with family or friends, with lovely log fires in the winter and a wonderful garden setting In the summer then this is the place.

Wedding weekend

Excellent venue - Excellent location - Excellent food - Good service.  Will definitely return and looking forward to it.  Only one criticism concerning a rather rude bar member.  Still I certainly wont let one individuals poorly placed comments and rudeness spoil an otherwise great experience.  I'll simply ask for a less rude bar member next time! 

Excellent apart from one bar staff.  Will still return and looking forward to it.

This is a beautiful B&B and has been recently refurbished so don't be put off by the old images on TripAdvisor. Beautiful views from our balcony in room 3 and lovely decor. Staff were super attentive and helpful. Would definitely return. 

Lovely B&B

After a shaky start and a discussion with the duty manager Andrew, the service  was excellent!

I must say that the junior staff and Andrew were professional, polite and were everything one would expect. However I have seen reviews of the behaviour of more senior staff as being poor, and I must concur unfortunately.

Overall, we had a great time but without the majority of staff being superb we would have been disappointed.

The breakfast and dinner food was excellent!

It would not take a lot of changes to make this a wonderful place we would have no hesitation in revisiting once these changes are made.

Great stay in great location 

Visited Friday lunchtime, the gentleman at front of house assigning tables was not particularly warm and friendly. Great welcome from the barman though. Food could not be faulted and the setting was lovely.

Lunch

We had lunch here in early January. The food was excellent. However the service was poor and the table position even worse. They are clearly trying to squeeze too many covers in, though they have quite a lot of space. To be specific the table was against a big pillar blocking any view from the window.  There was a narrow   thoroughfare by the table, sufficient to let one member of staff pass. All in all there were about 100 staff movements past the table.  There is a good clear view of the gents toilet some 5m away. My wife does so wish men would finish doing up their flies before they open the door. There were no towels or hand drying facilities in the ladies when we arrived.
Despite being so close to passing staff it took 15 minutes for the desert plate to be cleard. In that time we gave up on the idea of ordering tea/coffee, and instead asked for the bill, which came a few minutes later. 20 mins later someone came with the card machine. We did not add service and the member of staffed didn't seem surprised.
Let me reiterate, the food was very good, with a good choice on the menu, good flavours and good presentation but one doesn't go just for the food.
If you do go, go when it is likely to be quiet as you will probably get a better experience.

Good food but poor experience

We were at a wedding in Oakham and booked a room for one night.  We were given Room 10, which overlooked the bins and side car park with a view of the village!!!  Not the nicest view.  The room was incredibly hot and it wasn’t that hot outside. The beds were ok. The room was nothing special, adequate. It was all a bit drab to be honest. Not at all boutique like.  Not that big and there was also a “food” smell in the air as well, but we did arrive on a busy Saturday afternoon.   There was a nasty step down in the bathroom; we were ok with it, but you had to be careful.  My husband couldn’t get a taxi into Oakham and the Staff were very helpful and drove him into Oakham, which was much appreciated; thank you. The Staff were very polite and helpful at all times.  
Breakfast was lovely. All in all, adequate, but I was expecting a bit more than “adequate” really.
