Hambleton Hall Oakham Reviews from The Last Year
Hit and miss
This score takes into account the bill, we were charged almost £800 for one night’s dinner b&b plus a few drinks. There are lovely touches and some genuine moments of joy - the garden in particular is a delight. The food was hit and miss and as such really disappointing. Canapés were out of this world and best I’ve ever had. My partner had lovely starter and main course, mine in contrast were disappointingly bland and felt cold/tepid. Desserts were a real let-down, probably because you’re forced to order them before you’re sat down - it’s difficult to pair food together from the menu descriptions. Cheese selection was one of the best I’ve ever seen and delicious. The service felt rushed and the food was pretty cold - a bit like being on a conveyor belt and not very relaxing. Breakfast was exceptional, even considering i’d had no sleep. Our room was pretty and nicely decorated. My wife loved its traditional feel which was great. The bed was very comfortable and the view over the reservoir was lovely. The room had a horrid smell of greasy extractor fan which i found disgusting - smelt like an old dirty pub and really let the whole thing down. The hotel don’t seem to care about this at all and I think the accept that this is how things are at the place. I never really felt really welcome or relaxed in the hotel, it’s stuffy and has no sense of fun or . You kind of feel you’re in the way or putting people out if you ask for anything - particularly hot drinks in your room, which come with lovely biscuits but were luke warm by time they got to us and the coffee/cappuccino was grim, tea was nice though. So it’s ok, I’m glad I went but wouldn’t go out of my way to stay again.
Probably the best hotel I've stayed in
Recently visited this hotel and had an amazing experience. Only small which made the visit all the more enjoyable. The staff at the hotel were very friendly,polite and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent,both the breakfast and dinner were up there with the best. Our visit was in the winter and we were not able to fully appreciate the magnificent gardens that surround the hotel. We were given the Lake room which had a magnificent view of the lake although the weather was not at its best. The room itself had everything you would require. This is not a cheap place to visit but this was a special occasion and will be remembered for a very long time. Booking is essential. Thank you for everything. Keep up the good work.
Birthday stay
We were a party of 15 staying in seven rooms to help celebrate my wife's 50th. We have always enjoyed all of our stays at Hambleton and so were a little nervous at sharing our "special place" with others. We didn't need to worry.... Everyone had a truly amazing time and all of us felt very pampered for our entire stay. Nothing was too much effort for the whole team from helping to empty our cars of luggage, making teas and coffees and stoking the fires. We very much appreciated that the bar was automagically reserved for us to have pre and post-dinner drinks (excellent margaritas), and that we were able to use the same space for a light lunch of excellent sandwiches and salad. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Truly outstanding
This was my second visit to Hambleton hall to celebrate my husband and a friend’s husband’s special birthday. We were not disappointed. What a truly wonderful experience. The staff are outstanding, always polite and attentive but also welcoming and friendly. No ask is too much. The hotel is so wonderfully comfortable, from the sofas next to the open fires in the lounge and bar to the bed and pillows. The food and drinks are no less than outstanding. The views are magnificent and it is so beautifully peaceful and quiet. We are planning our next visit already ❤️
A quintessential stay and superb food.
A truly delightful and quintessential stay at the beautiful Hambleton Hall. We loved how traditional and beautiful it is, there are a couple of reviews stating it's a bit out dated but the charm here is how it feels like you're starring in a period drama! We stayed in the blue room and it was lovely. A beautiful lake view and over the gardens,truly delightful. There is something rather lovely sitting by a roaring fire, late afternoon drinking delicious cocktails. The food.....oh the food is fabulous! Absolutely delicious and we were left feeling very satisfied. The duck was sublime and my husband said the octopus starter was one of the best he'd had in a long time. The service is impeccable, professional, polite and courteous. The wine list is also fantastic, so much choice and the sommelier kindly helped recommend a delightful red to go with our meal. Breakfast is also marvellous, a lovely selection and cooked to perfection . The only tiny thing I'd have liked is a bit more ambience. There is no background music in the bar or restaurant and I truly think this would have made the whole experience even more perfect. Would we return? Absolutely.
Perfect comfort
Wonderful traditional hotel with amazing food in a beautiful house. Feels like you’re staying with friends. Every need is thought of and service is perfection. Many thanks to all the staff for a lovely weekend. We can’t wait to return in the Summer when the weather may be kinder!
A pre-Christmas treat
Outstanding. The food was excellent and the bedroom was just lovely overlooking the lake. Perfect stay. This was a return visit and we have already booked to visit again next year. Idyllic country retreat. You leave feeling refreshed and spoilt. Thank you.
A rare treat.
Our third visit to Hambleton Hall. Never disappoints. The highest standards in every imaginable way here. Service outstanding fine dining outstanding location and ground’s outstanding. Even the pool for an early morning dip before an amazing breakfast a rare treat . This place isn’t cheap but you get a unique experience here and leave feeling special and refreshed. We will be back. Oh Jess thanks for the lovely service James the chef your dinner was amazing and sommelier Dom. your wine list is fact an epic poem. Thanks for a memorable Stay.
Delightful country house, homely and comfortable, serving delicious food
This is a beautiful country house with a well deserved reputation for excellent food. The gardens are immaculately maintained, a real credit to the gardening team and the location is stunning. The staff were attentive, I thought, but not "in your face" - it's interesting how things have evolved there over the years; on our first visit in the 90's, the service was rather overwhelmingly full-on; now it feels much more relaxed and laissez-faire, a thoroughly comfortable experience. The food, as expected, was top notch; two of us ended with the cheese and we quite fancied a fig with it (as one of the puds was a fig tart, we thought there would be some knocking around in the kitchen) so we asked for and got the fig, which was marinated in something gorgeous and was the best fig EVER!!! My only (slight) criticism, if you can call it a criticism, is that the Hambleton bread is a bit on the crusty side especially when toasted but I'm probably being a bit picky. I wonder also why there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. I've noticed this before, a bit unusual. Anyway, it's a lovely place, well managed and reassuringly expensive. Will doubtless return.
Words cannot describe
Absolutely the finest food we have ever eaten. Service was incredibly professional. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The sommelier was a walking encyclopedia and gave wonderful advice. All staff were superb in every parameter.
Absolutely superb
First ever visit and absolutely superb every member of staff was magnificent. We absolutely loved the system you have of no walk ins for drinks , coffee , food etc for none residents. There is nothing worse than having no where to sit as a resident when the seats are taken by walk ins . The food was magnificent and the goodie bag as we felt was a superb bonus . Stuart & Karenina

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
