The only hotel on the shores of Rutland Water, beside the iconic Normanton Church.
A lakeside retreat steeped in history
In 1829, the Heathcote family built a manor on the southern shore of what would one day become Europe's largest reservoir. Nearly two centuries later, Normanton Park Hotel still stands in that same spot: the only hotel on the water's edge, beside the world-famous Normanton Church.
The lake hasn't changed much. Neither has the feeling of arriving here, that particular kind of quiet that settles over you when you're somewhere genuinely beautiful, and you realise there's nowhere else you need to be.
Whether you're here for a long lazy weekend, a celebratory dinner, or the beginning of a new chapter as husband and wife, Normanton Park is the kind of place that stays with you long after you've left.
Right on the water's edge
Not near Rutland Water. Not a short drive from it. Normanton Park Hotel sits directly on its southern shore, a position no other hotel in the county can claim.
- Next to the world-famous Normanton Church on the shores of Rutland Water
- Sailing, windsurfing, cycling, fishing and rock climbing within minutes of the hotel
- Easy access from the Midlands and East Anglia
