A surprise birthday gift from my wonderful wife found me sharing a boat with Rob Waddington, Rutland water fishing guide extraordinaire ..... and what a day we had. I had actually been a bit apprehensive about being guided as I have fished since I was young but I can honestly say that whatever my wife paid for the privilege was... More

Beautiful view from living room, nice and neat bedroom to stay, great breakfast. Rob is a very nice guy and I was grateful to stay here. Even if you are not fishing, I think this is the place where you want to be if you are looking for B&B. I will definitely go back. By the way, If you are... More

Rob made us feel very comfortable, very welcoming, helpful and friendly The room we stayed was lovely, had a nice fire burning in the lounge making it cosy. Lovely spot for walking /bike riding / fly fishing. B and B spot on by the Rutland water.... would definitely go back.... More

We have just returned from a short break at Rutland Water. Rob's B&B was the perfect place to stay. We were made to feel very welcome, from the comfortable room with a beautiful view to the log burning stove that dried us out after the non-stop rain! Thanks for a great few days - we will definitely be back. More

The word “hospitably” must have been invented here. The B&B at lakeside, The Lodge in Barnsdale is like staying over with your best friend. The room we stayed in was very nice and we were grateful that there was no television in our room. So we went to the lounge, with a nice fire burning, to watch the television and... More

These premiere lodges and the like are all very well but so impersonal. You take a certain risk when you stay somewhere for the first time but this one paid off. We stayed at Lakeside for a few nights at the end of March. Yes, we were lucky with the weather but even luckier with our choice of accomodation. We... More

We booked Lakeside B&B for a couple of nights in March (just before the fly-fishing season begins in earnest!) and couldn't believe our luck. Barnsdale Lodge and Hall just up the road may be billed as the "premium" places to stay in the area but this B&B has an even better location, right by the water and on a cul-de-sac... More

Lakeside B&B is perfectly situated by the lake enjoying beautiful views of the lake. We visited at the end of March 2012 and were treated to glorious sunshine the entire stay. Rob made us feel so welcome, lighting up the fire in the lounge when we came back from dinner out. The full cooked breakfast was cooked to perfection, this... More
