“Brilliant surprise 60th birthday weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We have just got back from 3 nights in the Old Plough. The weekend was booked on the internet as a surprise and we were not disappointed. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and couldnt do enough for us.
The food was excellent. Breakfast was delicious as was the excellent bar and restaurant food. The menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose as there were so many great sounding dishes.
The rooms were light, airy and very comfortable. Overall a brilliant weekend. My Mum had a brilliant surprise and we would like to thank everyone at the hotel.

Room Tip: Excellent food and friendly staff.

“Fantastic food, great service, nice rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

person found this review helpful

Me, my wife and my boss + family stayed here last weekend as we were attending a work related even in a nearby town.

We were allowed to check in very early which was very helpful as we had to attend an even in the afternoon.

we stayed in room 4 which was a good size double room. It was a converted building so had loads of character.

The bedroom was comfortable and we had a huge choice of biscuits with our tea and coffee :) The bathroom was a bit random in terms of a big space but only a shower, but this was definatley not a negative and the shower was very hot.

For what we paid and compared to other similar types of accomodation this is a good standard.

We ate in the pub both for evening meal and breakfast. Both were fantastic and a very high standard.

The service was great too which just adds to the experience.

If you are ever in the area and do not stay at the hotel i would highly recommend a meal there. I will be definatley going there again

“Great pub in lovely village - recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010

We stayed here overnight in the Rutland room, which was ideal for our needs. We travel with two small dogs, who were made welcome. The room has its own entrance, and is spacious and comfortable. Tea- and coffee-making gear and biscuits in the room. Spacious bathroom (though the shower water-heating was rather variable, alternating spontaneously between hot and cold). Excellent and helpful staff and a good breakfast int eh conservatory. Great stay!

“Dog friendly; good beer; Internet connection”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 February 2008

person found this review helpful

Great place for us - we used to live nearby, but now live in France and came for a holiday with our dog. Perfect!!

Good walks in the country a few minutes away - a few miles from the county town of Oakham, Rutland.

The accommodation is in a separate block, clean rooms, well appointed for the price - with a Wifi computer connection.

The pub sells very good real beer, has an open fire, has good food, and lots of locals in the bar at night. It also had wonderful home made pickled onions!!!!!

We booked directly with the pub - this turned out to be £20 per night cheaper than any so-called "deal" via an Internet hotel booking site!!!
