About The White Lion Inn

Walk through the door of The White Lion Inn and you're straight into eight compact guest rooms set above a working pub, each one kept simple rather than fussy, with free WiFi laid on throughout. It's the kind of place where the room is a comfortable base rather than the main event, and staff at the 24 hour reception are on hand whatever time you arrive.

Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and evening meals, along with a garden for sitting out when the weather allows. Meeting rooms make the inn workable for small business gatherings as well as overnight stays, and luggage storage is useful for anyone breaking up a longer journey. Free on-site parking is included, which counts for a good deal on Main Street in Oakham.

The inn sits in Rutland, with the National Space Centre nearby as a point of interest worth building a visit around. Oakham itself is a short distance away, making The White Lion Inn a straightforward stopover for exploring the town and the surrounding county.
