The Lake Isle
About
The Lake Isle is a 350‑year‑old, Grade II listed hotel perched on the edge of Rutland’s historic town, Uppingham. Within its timber‑framed walls guests find 10 individually designed rooms, two charming cottages and an award‑winning restaurant that blends contemporary cuisine with traditional English flavours. The AA 5 Star dining room invites families, couples and food lovers to revel in a relaxed, intimate setting, where chefs craft anything from roast rib‑eye Sunday lunches to festive four‑course menus. Both the rooms and the restaurant are easily accessible; the foyer features a wheelchair ramp, though the older parts of the building do not provide ground‑floor accessibility for guests staying overnight. A twice‑daily breakfast is served in the bright, open dining area and the bar remains open from 7 am until the restaurant closes in the evening. The hotel’s lush courtyard and well‑kept gardens offer guests a peaceful retreat to unwind after a day of exploring nearby Rutland Water. Whether you arrive for a weekend break, a romantic escape, or a family holiday, The Lake Isle delivers dedicated service, a relaxed atmosphere and an old‑world charm that welcomes you right from the moment you step into the historic lobby.
