The Barnsdale will be a refined yet relaxed boutique hotel, at the heart of Rutland's beautiful countryside. Quirky British sensibility meets elegant authentic luxury. Guests will see the old blended with the new, the refined with the comfortable, and the local with the worldly.
We will soon open our doors again; reimagined, revitalised and oozing with laid-back luxury, celebrating our Rutland setting and paying tribute to the hotel’s heritage.
