Barnsdale Lodge Dining - Rutland

I found out after going to the bar to get some drinks that a 10% service charge is included after I had paid. It clearly states on the bottom of the bill that it includes an optional 10% of service charge can be removed from the bill on request. I emailed Barnsley about this and their response was a service charge has not been added but in says on the bill including not added. Now they are ignoring my emails. We were a group of 51 people out for a Xmas meal so I will be advising our club secretary to book somewhere else next year.

My partner and I booked a table for Sunday lunch. The gentleman who appeared to be in charge was very professional and welcoming. Unfortunately we decided to leave before dining as there were several dogs in the restaurant. A couple of them started barking loudly. Personally we do not like mixing food with animals. It was a real shame as the menu looked superb. We would happily visit again but not with dogs.

We stayed here for one night in May to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Our room was extremely comfortable and well equipped. We ate dinner in the restaurant which was absolutely delicious. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet selection was extensive and the homemade granola was lovely. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing food! And a fantastic wine list. I would highly recommend for an evening meal. Menu caters for a wide variety of needs.

Called in to see the newly transformed hotel. Found our way to the bar but had to go back to reception to find the barman. Couldn’t produce a glass of either Malbec or Merlot but came up with a mix. We did choose two of Sancerre, two of the red wine glasses of 175 wine and the bill was £53.00! Certainly won’t be going there again as we could have had two ok bottles in other local places. Shame as we’re all locals!
