Spanhoe Lodge

We really enjoyed our two night stay, friendly hosts, very clean spacious room, great walk in shower and lovely breakfast. Highly recommended.

I had a very pleasant experience at Stanhope Lodge. The location was ideal for our group while attending a classic motorcycle rally in the area. The lodges are comfortable and well equipped and the hosts and staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is excellent and the lounge area is great for socialising. If I have one criticism it’s that the dinner menu is limited and basic,

I was late arriving, Reece met me and helped me settle in. The purpose of my stay was a Roads to Resilience meeting at The Allerton Project the next day. I stayed in the accessible, double room and I am pleased to say, it is one of the best accessible rooms (for me) that I have stayed in. I am a (mostly) ambient, stroke survivor, with foot drop and a right arm that has gone on strike (permanently). The bed was centrally placed, with plenty of room either side. The bed doesn't extend to be in the way of the entrance to the toilet/wet room (so many do). Excellent, full length wet room, with fluffy towels already placed in the wet room! (I get frustrated when towels are placed in a decorative "pile" on the bed, what's the point? I almost cheered when I saw them where they're supposed to be!) ;-) Breakfast in the morning was freshly cooked, not heated buffet (hooray!), and reasonably priced. All in all, an excellent experience, hosts were sociable, up front, helpful and I will be returning.

We enjoyed our stay - comfortable, spacious rooms, great showers, and lovely breakfast, with my request for plain yogurt being met on the 2nd morning. Swimming in a warm outdoor pool was lovely and a soak in the hot tub was relaxing. The only negative was not having the type of room we thought we had booked. The manager did his best to resolve the situation after a discussion, and it was ok.

Blissfully peaceful and quiet with views over farm land. Rooms spotlessly clean with super comfy beds with a great shower and top-notch bathroom supplies, also with kettle and nice quality drinks etc (including fresh milk in fridge!) . Breakfast is a sheet delight with excellent quality ingredients and good choice of cooked food to order. As for the owners and staff - a real delight and all eager to ensure you enjoy your stay to the full. Location - easy 10-15 minutes drive to Rutland Water, Stamford and Oakham.

Great location with lots of lovely walks with family and our dog. Peaceful and great facilities.

Our annual film visit turned out to.be the best ever For the past 5 years our family get together has always been memorable. The weather was spectacular and we spent much of the time enjoying the pool area. Usual cycle around Rutland Water by some of our party. Paddleboarding was a new experience Food was excellent and Reece Neil were excellent hosts ably assisted by the lovely Paula and Ian Don't forget Willow we'll be there next year

This was a fantastic find! The room was spacious and clean, and the pool and hot tub a wonderful added bonus. Delicious breakfast to round it all off, and friendly and welcoming hosts. I’ll definitely try to go back!

Spanhoe Lodge is just an incredible place to stay. Reece and Neil have done everything right with nothing being too much trouble for them. The scenery and serenity of the area is breath taking. Having stayed here before many years ago, the update to the accommodation and area around it just make this a place you want to stay. The addition of a swimming pool and hot tub just make this somewhere special to stay. Breakfast is freshly cooked and plenty of it. So much choice and all food tastes catered for. Can't wait to go back and stay a little longer.
