My wife and I had visited the Whipper-In on previous visits to Oakham, so when we were thinking about a weekend away with friends and their MGs we plumped on this hotel as our base for exploring Rutland. Town centre location is great and they have a car park, albeit "round the back". My overall impression of the experience from... More

First error... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a reunion group. (Apologies to anyone who found us a bit noisy and raucous!). Booked on a dinner bed and breakfast basis - most people has chosen their main meal beforehand but a few couldn't so there was a little bit of delay in serving, but couldn't be helped.... More
