“This historic coaching inn places you squarely in Oakham's heart, steps from its Market Square. I find the blend of 17th-century architecture and modern dining appealing, especially given the proximity to both Burghley House and the Rutland Water Nature Reserve. It strikes me as a solid base for exploring the area, particularly with its pet-friendly accommodations and onsite parking.”
