Testimonials; This is what our existing members say about Discover Rutland:

  • Nick Hamilton, Barnsdale Gardens: As one of the main tourist attractions in Rutland there is no ques-tion that our business has benefited greatly from the help and assistance we get from being a member of Discover Rutland. We certainly could not afford the press coverage they are able to generate for us and/or other members, as well as those benefits gained from being able to work together as part of a group to achieve the best for every member. We have always been clear that, in this small county, we are able to achieve a lot by working together and membership of Discover Rutland gives us the best platform to real-ise our ambitions.
  • The Blue Ball at Braunston: We continue to be members of Discover Rutland because it’s the best way to reach visitors to Rutland.
  • Beaver Inns, Uppingham: Being part of the Discover Rutland Membership scheme has created an excel-lent platform for our three businesses. The inclusion on the website, and opportunity to edit your establish-ment’s site, especially with regard to promotions and special events has been invaluable. In addition, the Discover Rutland events which our membership entitles us to, have been an excellent way to not only demonstrate our offering at The Falcon Hotel, Don Paddy’s and The Vaults, but also to unite the all that Rutland has to offer.
  • Hambleton Hall: We can see that Rutland is being recognised more and more in London as a ‘quality’ destination, and a location to rival the Cotswolds, and we congratulate Discover Rutland on the work being done towards this. We travel internationally to promote Hambleton Hall and having Discover Rutland as a strong brand helps us, it is a great benefit to have confidence in the county as well as our product.
