About The Admiral Hornblower
Oakham, Rutland's small county town, sits within easy reach of Rutland Water, making it a handy base for walking, cycling and watersports without straying far from proper amenities. The Admiral Hornblower occupies a spot on the High Street itself, putting guests among the town's shops, pubs and restaurants rather than out on a ring road somewhere.
The hotel has just 10 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and drinks available in-room, so it stays on the intimate side rather than feeling like a big chain operation. Guests get free WiFi throughout, breakfast to start the day, and a restaurant and bar on site for evenings when heading out doesn't appeal. Kids' meals are available, and there's a garden with outdoor seating for warmer days. Porter and concierge services are on hand, and luggage storage is useful for those breaking a journey around Rutland.
Free on-site parking removes one of the usual headaches of staying in a town centre. From the door, guests can walk to nearby pubs, restaurants and entertainment, or head further out for golf, cycling routes and the walking paths around Rutland Water. It suits those wanting a compact, well-placed stay rather than a resort-style hotel experience.
