Rooms

The main hotel dates back to 1804 and all of the bedrooms have been individually styled to ensure that the history of the building has been retained whist providing the comforts of modern day living we have come to expect.

Hotel details

The Rutland Arms provides a lovely setting for wedding receptions, dinners and dances and also caters for conferences and meetings on a day or 24-hour delegate basis. The Bakewell Pudding originated through a mistake by the cook at the Rutland Arms. A Strawberry Tart was ordered for the guest. Instead of stirring the egg mixture into the pastry, the cook poured it over the strawberry jam. The pudding was so well received by the guest that the recipe became recognised as the Bakewell Pudding, although its exact ingredients are still kept a closely guarded secret.

Food & Beverages

Offering when possible the finest selection of locally sourced produce, the award-winning menus are available throughout the day. The Rutland Arms is open to non-residents and serves morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner in both the Brasserie and the Four Season’s Restaurant. The hotel welcomes those with specific dietary requirements and ensure that the daily menus include a wide and varied selection.
