The only down side was the evening meal. I dont mind small portions but these were small and not great. Breakfast was good you ordered off a menu not buffet style which relies on the waitress remembering what you ordered

The hotel is amazing, beautiful views and gardens to stroll round, even a croquet lawn. Decor is very period which we like. The room we had was fantastic with a roll top bath overlooking the fields. Room was named Max. We had the pool, sauna and steam to ourselves which was lovely.

As mentioned above we had a nice big room however, the décor and furnishings seemed very ordinary and could in no way be described as grand, and I have to say we felt rather disappointed. The bathroom was certainly large enough to have included a walk-in shower so it seemed a shame the shower was over the deep but narrow bath. Our own personal preference, but we found the pillows on the bed too soft and not what we are used to. Also, the TV was ageing, quite small and poor sound quality. Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. The food selection felt more appropriate to a budget hotel, and often the choice was limited as several of the dishes hadn’t been restocked. On our first morning coffee was ordered that never arrived and the lack of plates for the buffet all seemed an uncharacteristic let down from the otherwise high standards of service. Would we stay here again? For the relaxing escape we were seeking it certainly did not disappoint. If it weren’t for the dissatisfying ordinariness of the Grand room and the frustrations with the breakfast we probably wouldn’t have to think twice.

Stapleford Park Hotel is immediately breath-taking in its architectural splendour, and is perfect for a secluded and tranquil retreat set in the middle of the Leicestershire countryside. The extensive grounds, with their mosaic of walled gardens and gentle outdoor activities such as croquet, putting and giant chess, are an ideal spot to devote to a relaxing and lazy weekend. We didn’t actually venture beyond the grounds from the moment we arrived until we departed, such was the beauty and appeal of the gardens. For the more active there is a gym which we didn’t try and as hotels go an excellent swimming pool. Internally the public areas and the dining rooms are stylish and beautifully decorated. We had booked a Grand room, which was large as also was the bathroom and enjoyed great views across the countryside (the twin wash basins were certainly a nice touch)- but please see further comments below As regards the meals we had, the food served for dinner was outstanding and service for both the evening we had room service and the two evenings in the restaurant was also excellent. On the Sunday we took advantage of the link with Rutland Outdoor Pursuits and had an hour session with Simon and Gill and their Falconry experience. We found this an absolutely thrilling time and definitely worth doing. The wonder of having the beautiful Barn and Tawny Owls land on your extended arm, and then the magnificent Eagle Owl and Red-Tailed Hawk became one of the highlights of our stay.

Honestly, nothing.

The building and grounds are beautiful. The gardens (heavily laden apple and pear trees, fading late summer flowers, lawns) and trees (old and varied specimens) brought tears to my eyes, they were so lovely. The building was grand and unspoiled and it felt like we were guests of lord and lady someone, 100 years ago. Despite the grandeur, it was unpretentious and the staff were without exception, kind, helpful, warm, and friendly. We ate in the bar, and the drinks and food were very reasonably priced and tasty. The spa is in another wonderful building, the old stables. The treatments are good value, and again the staff were lovely. I also went for a great run, along country roads and through fields around the hotel.

The food was excellent 👌, really relaxing stay just what we needed

Felt like we had been given the worst room because we booked through booking.com, room was dark, areas of cleaning required dusty in places, dirty grouting, no dressing table, wallpaper ripped, some plug sockets didn’t work view of tv not good from one side of the bed due to wardrobe position - furniture tired.

Staff excellent couldn’t do enough - grounds fantastic - food fantastic, pool great very clean, spa is wonderful

It seems that a lot of the interior needs some up-keep. It's such a beautiful house but desperately needs some tlc.

The gardens were beautiful and the location is perfect for peace and quiet. Breakfast was excellent.

Stayed in August 2024

Some areas need a little attention to detail ie the curtains in the bedrooms were badly frayed. The breakfast buffet was pretty sparce even at 9.45am but the staff did bring new freshly cooked items on request. More could be done to make a relaxation area outside near the pool.

The bedroom was super and with a great view across the estate. The facilities were varied, the staff friendly especially at reception.

We thought our room was clean but very tired. The bathroom especially was quite stained on the tiles around the bath/shower area and around the toilet and radiator

The setting is stunning and the staff were really helpful and very attentive. Sophie was especially helpful helping with dress issues and some glue needed. She's such an asset to Stapleford Park. Thank you Sophie x

Our only regret was an issue upon arrival. The first room we were placed in appeared to have been ill prepared for new guests. On of the complimentary bottles of water was opened and half used, and there were dead flies in the bathroom and the windowsills. We addressed the problem, and without haste, apologies were extended and a new room was secured for our stay. The situation left us feeling a tad uncomfortable, but those feelings quickly dissipated with each positive encounter we experienced hence forth.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Stapleford to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. The accommodations were most pleasant, from the beautiful room to the delicious and plentiful breakfast. The grounds, so well kept and neatly manicured, made for an absolute picturesque atmosphere. Making our stay top notch was our time spent with Gill and Simon from Rutland Outdoor Pursuits — an activity opportunity we learned of through Stapleford Park. While Rutland Outdoor Pursuits offers various types of outdoor experiences, we chose Clay Pigeon Shooting for our desired activity. No need to leave the beautiful grounds of Stapleford, Rutland Outdoor Pursuits brought the fun right to our footsteps! Gill and Simon of R.O.P. were immediately welcoming, and their expertise, enthusiasm and warm personalities fostered a positive atmosphere for leaning and having a fabulous time. And that we did! Safety is their number one priority, which immediately put at us ease. They took their time and allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the experience. A job well done, by Gill and Simon — two lovely people who are passionate and well versed in their field of work, yet so easy to chat up the afternoon with! By the end of our excursion, we felt we had spent a wonderful afternoon having fun with fantastic friends. Thank you so much Gill and Simon for being the highlight of our wonderful stay at Stapleford Park!

Did not agree with service charge at the bar

Great service. And the hotel it self was amazing, enjoyed the pool gardens stunning we were told the upkeep was by just 3 gardener's

On the second morning there was no buffet breakfast and we had to order from the menu. Unfortunately the quality of the breakfast just wasn't the same. We were also surprised to find that there was no basic information about the hotel in our room (facilities, times, activities, treatments, etc.). There was only a local guide about Leicester and another advertising wedding planning.

Great service, staff were very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfast on the first morning.

The steps up and down to the bathroom were a bit of a nocturnal hazard.

Beautiful house and gardens. Very warm and personalised welcome. Professional and engaging staff throughout our stay in the hotel and restaurant.

We had dinner and it was very good, but really on a hot summer evening it would have been nice to have had a salad and some lighter options.

The hotel is situated in the most delightful grounds and surrounding area. It is absolutely beautiful with fabulous architectural features. It could quite easily have been the inspiration for a Jane Austin novel.

Our evening meal was served in the beautiful dining room and once again the staff were very attentive and helpful however the meal was expensive for what you got.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, I couldn’t fault them at all. Breakfast was included in the price and was fantastic, fresh and great value. The pool was a decent size and I enjoyed the room, it felt really quite grand.

The evening meal was very limited in choice. I chose the vegetarian option - which was nice - the other choice of lamb (I don’t eat), beef (a paid supplement) and a fish dish (I don’t eat fish). This was not just the mains but also the starters and at £55 for two courses I would have expected a beef not to be a supplement and possibly a chicken.

It’s a beautiful hotel - old style charm. Gardens and surroundings are lovely and the pool is very good. Didn’t have time to try the spa but it was recommended by others.
