Despite the mixed reviews we opted to book a table for lunch.Arrived at 1230 to find the table reserved for us in a nice area of the bar rrather than in the opulent looking restaurant. Took a few minutes to admire the view... More

We stopped here for lunch on a round Rutland Water cycle ride. The lunch was nice (if a bit pricey) and the beer was good! However we were put off by the attitude of the owner to cyclists. He came running out to tell us not to leave our bikes outside the pub but couldn't tell us where to leave... More

We came here for Sunday lunch as we got married in Rutland 5 years ago and just wanted to boost the romance! We picked this restaurant for the views and it was definitely worth it. The food was well presented and cooked well, the views spectacular and peaceful and the service although slightly slow and haphazard didn't inconvenience us as... More

Went into the Finches Arms while on an overnight trip to Rutland. It would have been nice to have been acknowledged by the barman but it was even more disconcerting to have someone behind me at the bar passing their glass - emptied after our arrival - over my shoulder to be served. The final straw was an employee on... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night. It is a very old pub but the wing where the bedrooms are is a modern addition done very sympathetically to blend in with the old. The room was very comfortable and so was the bed but, be warned, the bed is very low to the floor and for guests who... More

I stayed here recently with my wife and our two year old son. We often have weekends away all over the UK and Europe and were not disappointed by the Finch's Arms. This particular place had been recommended by friends and we were looking forward to quality, warm and friendly accomodation in the heart of the English countryside. Our room... More

We recently spent 2 nights at The Finch's Arms and enjoyed everything about it! The location is superb and we walked several miles around Rutland water in glorious sunshine. We would recommend the afternoon tea afterwards...the scone was homemade and delicious.The food was excellent and served beautifully. The outside deck area and part of the restaurant have lovely views over... More

We really liked this pub/hotel: the rooms are very stylish, spacious and comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and very friendly. The bar area is gorgeous, a really cosy traditional pub feel with two log fires blazing. The food was superb - we had a fantastic evening meal and the breakfast (which was included in the price) was served in... More

We recently had lunch at the Finch's to celebrate my wife's birthday and it was the perfect choice of location. There are good views over Rutland Water. Even for a midweek lunch the place was packed and I was glad I had booked the table. I think the majority of people were taking advantage of the set lunch which looked... More
