Hambleton Hall exudes the charm of the English countryside. Located next to Rutland Water, Britain's largest man-made lake, the gabled facade of this 1881 manor is stately without being ostentatious. The beautiful gardens surrounding the inn add to its appeal and give the brick-and-stone structure a vibrancy that would otherwise be lacking.
Inside this magnificent country inn, you will find fifteen romantic bedrooms and one of England's best restaurants. Each bedroom is individually decorated though they all have an elegant country theme. Their flowering chintzes and fabrics, stripes and soft colors soothe the soul.
Unlike many inns in Britain, Hambleton Hall has pursued fine dining since it began welcoming guests. Its restaurant has won several awards and is now run by Chef Aaron Patterson. The bar with its dark-red lacquer walls and warming fireplace is the perfect spot to enjoy a drink before, or after, dinner. Patterson's seasonal creations use only the finest local ingredients. Thus in the summer, fruit and salads are especially tasty while game dominates the winter menu. To complement your meal, choose from an eclectic mix of over 450 wines.
