Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Breakfast , room and bed were excellent
It was a bit expensive
Gunstig gelegen hotel.
Diners. Beperkte kaart. Gerechten niet met zorg bereid.
The breakfast was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Nothing in particular
Was handy for where we wanted to be
That there was going to be a extra charge for a early booking in
The way the hotel was run. How clean it was, the state of the rooms especially the bathroom Comfortable beds and pillows
Nothing
It’s location.
The continental breakfast wasn’t good value for money. I would have liked Croissants or pastries, however there wasn’t any left and I didn’t really want a cooked breakfast as I was travelling home that day and I’m not a good traveller. So all I could have was a bowl of cereal. I asked if there was any more croissants, but was told ‘no they’ve all gone’. It wasn’t like we were late down to breakfast either.
Exceptionally helpful staff who were able to accommodate us at such short notice after having to leave our previous accommodation at Days Inn - that was so awful!
Good location for Oakham town centre and local areas of interest like Rutland Water. Has a lot of character yet modernised facilities.
Room was very comfortable . evening meal was delicious and breakfast very good too . Lovely welcome from reception . Service at breakfast was slow due to only one member of staff being avaialable for a full restaurant.
Service at breakfast -more staff would have been helpful. A tea and coffee machine would be good . And ordinary granola. A bedside table on both sides of the bed would be preferable for drinks etc .
Lovely building, kind helpful staff, made my little dog very welcome
Plumbing a bit suspect in my room but it didn't spoil my stay
Breakfast was very good. Lovely lady serving breakfast who was very efficient and friendly.
Very pleasant 2 night stay. Staff were very pleasant, especially Tamera who was a star, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely breakfast.
Front door open at night, when reception is not manned. Key code for security would be advisable. Car park too small, difficult to manger if full. Shower slip mat needed replacing.
ottima e abbondante
The fan was most welcome. Location was good for our purpose.
Felt the place packed atmosphere in the public areas.
Very comfortable and quiet room. It had everything we needed. Our dinner was very nice and the breakfast too. Very friendly staff and perfect location for visiting Oakham.
A little short staffed at breakfast, a squeaky door in our bedroom, parking exit on to the main road dangerous as hedge obscure view. Lighting a little dim in bedroom.
Breakfast good Service excellent
N/A
Location, breakfasts with great bread, staff, outside sitting area
Parking rather tight if there's just one space left!
Nice room, good breakfast and helpful staff.
Very small and awkward carpark. Poor TV reception.
Breakfast choice was excellent ( no cooked breakfast ) gluton free options for my partner and lots of berries etc to go with my muesli
Hotel was excellent on all fronts
We booked last minute for an overnight stop on way to Scotland. The room was spotlessly clean and a decent size in a historic property. The breakfast was super and the staff were very friendly - both at reception and at breakfast. Oakham is a sweet town - and big shout out to Jashir- an Indian restaurant in nearby high street - where we had some of the best Indian food we have eaten in a long time ( and we eat a lot of Indian food!)
nothing - everything was good and as expected. If I was being picky I would want a bigger room if I was staying for longer than a night - but was perfect for our one night stay. Parking was a little challenging in tight spots with full car park - but it was free and no complaint as such.
Staff helpful & friendly, good size room & very comfortable, food very good, good location for exploring the area, plenty to see & do in the area.
Nothing
Not a huge amount of choice. Would like more fresh fruit.
Shower was not powerful enough. No air con.
The room was comfortable, quiet and the carpet was really clean. That doesn't happen often. Dinner was exceptional.
Continental breakfast could be better. The quality of croissant wasn't great. Parking space is a challenge.
breakfast room bed were all very good Grab rail in bath/shower was great. Not available in all hotels A fan was provided but never used because room did not heat up with window open all day
One steep stair did not have adequate handrail
The wisrera was excellent ,we intend to return soon as we loved the HOTEL and the staff.
The car park is very small ,but the one for the MUSEUM is next door , but did not take cash only credit cards But ours are not contractless. So a trip into Oakam at a corner shop that sell parking permits for the Museum.
Staff excellent - helpful and friendly. Restaurant food very good. Nice friendly vibe in this family-owned hotel. I'd definitely like to stay here again.
Nothing
Excellent central location in a beautiful town.
Car parking, limited space and not easy for a large car. Bacon overcooked a few times at breakfast.
Great location near the town centre and Museums Good parking spaces.
All very good
The staff were very accommodating. Good selection for breakfast. The location was within walking distance to Oakham town. Would visit if around the area.
Everything
Nothing
Ease of check in, staff friendliness.
Breakfast was very disappointing, the eggs, both fried and scrambled, had obviously been out for a VERY long time.
The location was perfect, within walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants.
The buffet breakfast was underwhelming, no fresh fruit no sauces displayed, scrambled eggs not good.
Location, staff were very professional and helpful, couldn't do enough. Room sizes
Nothing
Comfortable pleasant stay.
Nothing
Very comfortable bed Great choice with breakfast Easy to walk into Oakham Electric fan was supplied in the room (very helpful during the heatwave!)
Limited and tight hotel parking area but adjacent public carpark
Great location Central Oakham, good base for visiting Rutland Water and Barnsdale Gardens
Parking is a chore. The hotel car park is small and approached down a long narrow driveway, we took one look and realised our quite large car would not fit. There is public parking close by (free 18:00 to 08:00) but you need to remember to pay at 8:00 every morning.
Nice old building
Cold baked beans and over cooked poach eggs for breakfast
Location was perfect, room was lovely and at breakfast meal and staff were great
Lack of parking but there was a car park next door
Lovely place, great breakfast and friendly staff.
Everything first class !!!!!
Lacking dinner atmosphere
Spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower. Staff amazing, always cheerful and helpful.
Convenient location for a stroll into Oakham. Private car park (as long as you arrive early!) as well as adjacent public car park (free after 6pm). Comfortable bed. Good breakfast choice.
If the hotel car park is full and no space to turn, difficult to reverse out on to the road.
Comfortable hotel , good food and convenient for the town centre.
Only slight issue, the car park was full so we had to go in the car park next door which was close by but you have to remember to pay from 8.30.a m
The bed was comfy.The room was quiet, never slept so well in a hotel. Room and bathroom were really clean. Loads of choice at breakfast including gluten free so great if you're coeliac.
Only the limited parking. Parked in car park literally next door, but had to set alarm so we could pay before 8.00am, but no great issue.
Not much very basic
Breakfast and no air conditioning
The building was quaint, with a little stone walkway to get to it. It was close enough enough to the town to walk in and go to the pub.
This is an exactly a negative, but, on the night we were there, there was kind of a rowdy wedding going on. There were people still yelling in the street until after midnight. But they told us that it was a very unusual occurrence and I think that’s probably true. it wasn’t a problem for us. We enjoyed getting a taste of local culture!
Excellant breakfast, room very clean, adequate supplies of incidentals, tea and biscuits, comfortable bed. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Central location. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms spotless and food good.
Nice location, room was nice and clean, only bug bear that our room was on the main road , could be noisy with traffic.
Not too big, staff were very attentive and polite,and not too far to walk into the town, definitely stay again, nice little gem 😁
All staff very friendly. Greeting at reception was very warm and welcoming. Breakfast staff again were very friendly with an excellent breakfast. Great location if working in Oakham and easy walk in the town.
nothing
Ideal location and very acceptable rooms
2nd Room was nice and big
Very disappointed with the first so called family room we were given but very pleased with the second room!
Lovely clean room with excellent facilities, the staff where very helpful and pleasant, it is a hotel that I would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Nothing to dislike
Comfort, staff, location
There was a wedding one night with loud music until 11.30
Excellent location and breakfast. Really friendly, helpful staff.
Was very hot in bedroom.
Staff, room and facilities were all superb.
Parking could be a little trying but not a significant problem.
Room was clean & tidy, restaurant food was lovely, staff were all pleasant to chat with
Nothing, all very good
Quirky building, easy to get lost inside! I was a late arrival and an envelope addressed to me was on front desk, it contained a welcome letter and my room key. My room was at the back so quiet.
Room was very warm, so opened 2 small windows and turned off the radiator.
Had character but with a modern twist. Good location for us.
Small car park but reasonably priced parking next door
Lovely staff,welcoming,helpfull,friendly Great room Lovely location Great foos
Needa a bigger parking area
Breakfast, Quiet, Staff.
Small, cramped car park. Continuing problems with the T.V.
Nice room and bathroom, comfy bed.
one member of the party had to sleep in an unmade child's bed on the first night as the room was made up for a double and we needed 2 singles, which was bit annoying.
The room, the beds and having a bath not just a shower, Also that it was on the ground floor
Wider choice of fruit at breakfast. Also parking was an issue as it was on a first come basis and I have a blue badge so I would have liked a reserved space.
Room was nice. Food was nice. Pleasant and friendly staff
Early closing of the bar. Bar closed 9.30 on a Thursday evening
Stayed a few times now. Great staff. Very comfortable room. Great breakfast. Highly recommend the Wisteria.
Nothing. No complaints.
Very pleasant Hotel. Helpful staff Comfortable bed Easy access to town Nice area Ground floor rooms Good breakfast with lots of choice Restaurant for evening meal Reasonably priced
Breakfast adequate. Noticeable that the server was inexperienced but friendly
Traffic noise in room due to single glazed window. Therefore window had to be kept shut - no ventilation in room
The situation.
Needs a little bit of maintenance. Valve on bathroom radiator jammed . Shower temperature gauge jammed. Room cold.
A lovely hotel, very clean, well maintained and felt newly decorated. Comfy bed, new fluffy towels, excellent breakfast and very welcoming staff. Would definitely come back!
Location was very good.
Lots of steps
Efficient friendly staff. Service excellent
Nothing. Everything excellent. P
Really nice hotel. My room was so comfortable. I also had dinner at the hotel. Starter was a bit too large (chicken croquette) but haddock and chips for main was amazing. Breakfast, great choice and delicious.
Hairdryer took an age to warm up but reported to reception to take action. No big deal
Friendly staff. Room was good size, well appointed and very clean. Well situated in the town. Breakfast decent.
Car park quite small and tight.
Friendly, clean and well decorated.
Car park was a bit small but there is a pay to stay right next door so that wasn’t that bad.
Location
The room was dated and the wall on the left hand side needs painting as there is residue of a liquid that has been spilled quite high up and across the whole wall. Skirting boards need painting in the bathroom.
Great location, lovely and peaceful.
close to where i needed to be clean excellent food
Excellent location. Comfortable bed, well equipped room. Friendly helpful staff.
Very clean and tidy the breakfast was really nice
Not a lot of parking
