I booked the Rutland on behalf of my parents who stayed over Monday to Friday, April. The court yard was perfect for them as mum can't manage stairs very well. They loved the views of the gardens. The manager David and his team were very helpful from the start. Every email I sent was replied to promptly. My parents enjoyed... More

Had an afternoon tea at the Rutland Arms last week. A great way to end a day spent in Dovedale. Comfy chairs and enough food to shake a very large stick at. Largest scones I have seen for a while, yummy moist chocolate cake and coffee refills to wash it all down. An excellent price too - bearing in mind... More

On arrival we were made very welcome and helpful with car parking directions( over the road in the former stable yard). The public areas were that rare thing - spacious and cosy with a... More
