Lake Isle

Uppingham, Rutland

There is no isle here, no lake, no bee-loud glade, but the name of Richard and Janine Burton's lauded restaurant-with-rooms draws inspiration from WB Yeats's Innisfree, a place of serenity and escape.

    Good Hotel Guide Review

    The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide

    There is no isle here, no lake, no bee-loud glade, but the name of Richard and Janine Burton's lauded restaurant with rooms draws inspiration from WB Yeats's Innisfree, a place of serenity and escape. 'Wow, this place is wonderful,' writes a trusted reader, before enthusing about both restaurant and rooms in the 18th-century building behind a 20th-century shopfront. Smart contemporary bedrooms range from snug doubles to a suite with free-standing bath and walk-in monsoon shower, while the larger of two cottages, sleeping four, has a lounge, shower and spa bath. 'Our room was big and blissfully quiet, even though it is in the centre of town.' Another reader, who found a 'cosy' room 'more than adequate for one' agrees that the decor is 'very attractive'. 'Dinners were superb,' served by 'very friendly and cheerful staff'. She felt 'very well fed' after an English brie panna cotta with asparagus and marinated mushrooms followed by duck breast. 'Breakfasts were excellent too, with a choice of fruit, cereals, porridge or yoghurt and a wide range of cooked food.' In sum: 'All market towns should have a Lake Isle.' (Mary Hewson, PA, IG, and others).
