Very happy with our stay, albeit just one night. Warm welcome from staff, good evening meal and breakfast, room impeccable. Lucky to have a parking space...As a 'pub/ hotel' ticks all the boxes. Thank you

We felt very welcome at The Admiral Hornblower. Shauna checked us in and was so friendly and helpful. She was great behind the bar, too. And the next morning we were served by Alex, another lovely lady. The breakfast selection was varied and delicious. A fantastic stay – we will be back.

Brilliant! Best way to start the festive season

An unexpected fantastic stay after reading some other reviews. It was probably one of the busiest weekends being the last before Christmas and we had a warm and friendly welcome, excellent and very quick service. The food was fantastic, my steak was cooked perfectly and our room was so comfortable. Breakfast was also brilliant. This will be our first port of call when back in the area!

Perfect night away

Our Friday night stay was great. Oakham is a lovely village to visit and the Admiral Hornblower was welcoming. As expected in an older building there was stair access with low ceilings and creaky floorboards, but this all added to the charm. If you're a light sleeper, I'd suggest earplugs, given you're above a pub and also street noise. Breakfast was relaxed and a great choice and the service was excellent. We ate dinner locally but the restaurant looked inviting and beer garden shined on a sunny afternoon. There was no parking left onsite when we arrived, so parked on street and moved to carpark at 9am in the morning. Saturday morning strolls, markets and great coffee from independent Caffè Aroma, just across the road. It was only hour's drive, so would love to return.

Great location and lovely accommodation. There were problems with getting a drink in the evening and service at breakfast both days was really slow. However the breakfast when it arrived was delicious! Hopefully these service issues can be sorted out
