Your day, by the water
A historic courtyard hotel on the south shore of Rutland Water, where every celebration is quietly, beautifully considered.
A setting that does the talking for you
Set within five acres of lawned gardens and ancient trees, moments from the iconic Normanton Church, our lakeside home has been welcoming guests since 1829. It is a place made for the kind of day you will want to remember in every detail.
From your first visit to your final dance, our wedding team is beside you: listening, guiding and taking care of the finer points, so that the day you have imagined becomes the day you live.
Say "I do" by the water
Our Outdoor Pagoda sits beneath the old trees with Rutland Water glittering beyond, licensed for civil ceremonies of up to 80 guests. Exchange your vows in the open air, then walk back down the aisle to a shower of confetti and the people you love most.
Planning a church ceremony? Historic Normanton Church sits just moments along the shore, the perfect prelude to your celebration with us.
