“This is a conveniently situated inn in the heart of Oakham, a short walk from Oakham Castle and Rutland County Museum. Its historical significance as a former 17th-century coaching inn is a highlight, as is its onsite restaurant serving gourmet local cuisine. I think that its pet-friendly policies and proximity to Rutland Water Nature Reserve make it a practical choice for active travelers.”
