Restaurants in Rutland

Rutland is the smallest county in England, measuring just 16 miles by 16 miles. The county has two historic market towns, Oakham and Uppingham and over 50 pretty villages spread across its rolling, rural landscape.

At the centre of the county lies Rutland Water, an attraction for water sports and nature lovers.

The county hosts some top notch restaurants, some in luxurious hotels and others occupying centuries old village pubs.

Hambleton Hall For many people, Hambleton Hall is the archetypal country house hotel. The setting - high above Rutland Water (Europe's largest man-made lake) - is a pure delight and the views are stunning

The Olive Branch The place still feels like a genuine village pub, with rustic furniture, open fires and hop-garlanded beams in the bar, plus a highly popular garden for fine days

The Lake Isle Restaurant A delightful hotel restaurant with a clear mission statement. "Our aim is to concentrate on good textures and intense flavours, combined with outstanding presentation and service"

The Sun Inn The delightful Sun Inn at Cottesmore dates back to the 17th century. With its thatched roof, flagstone floors, whitewashed walls and low beamed ceilings it oozes character and charm
