Travelodge UK - accommodation in Oakham

This is a superb hotel but I think your experience depends very much on the room you choose. The grounds are vast and various accommodation built on a hill, with reception in the beautiful main hotel whilst the restaurant and pool are higher up. Buggies are available to take guests around and the views can be spectacular. I originally booked a cosy double without thinking about the importance of the view. Although thoughtfully placed on the ground floor to aid my mobility, the room overlooked a wall and felt dark and depressing for me as a solo traveller. Couples or families may feel differently. Reception staff appreciated my dilemma, were excellent and helped me move to a beautiful room with a balcony on the same level as the restaurant and pool. It completely changed my stay. I did pay more, but for this hotel I would absolutely recommend paying extra for the balcony and view. The lodges also looked lovely. The restaurant had a modern atmosphere with background music and very attentive staff. Breakfast was buffet style whilst dinner was waiter service, yet I still felt completely comfortable dining alone. The pool was lovely, the massage was fabulous and everywhere was clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay again, but next time I would be much wiser about my room choice.

We had a family room and it was very clean and tidy… keep this up…what we didn’t like was no travel pack in room… and wasn’t told about we could use the cups in breakfast area… lovely beds… well recommend ..

We stayed for a couple of nights. The room was incredibly comfortable and quiet, certainly the best night's sleep we've had in local hotels in the area. The dinner menu is a bit limited, although the pizzas were good. They have just added cooked items to the breakfast but have a complicated charging system. Preferable just to add an extra amount to the b & b rate. The local countryside is lovely we had a couple of walks after dinner.
