Originally a 17th century farmhouse on the Exton Estate, home to the Noel family (Earl of Gainsborough) for generations at the head of a horse chestnut tree-lined avenue, Barnsdale Lodge hotel is now a superb 44 bedroom hotel and restaurant.
Country Pubs
The local pub is still an important feature of Rutland village life, which means you are never far away from a great place to eat. For traditional culinary experience offering personal service, home cooked meals and real ales, a more authentic English experience will be hard to find.
Many of these are part of the Rutland Campaign for Real Ale [CAMRA] so you can be assured of a ‘proper’ pint!
