The Manners Arms at Knipton
The Manners Arms, formerly The Red House and originally a Hunting Lodge built for the 6th duke, has been thoughtfully restored and decorated by the Duchess of Rutland to make a superior Restaurant with Rooms in the shadow of Belvoir Castle.
The ten bedrooms are all individually and comfortably furnished. The largest ones are on the top floor and there are two good singles. The AA rosette restaurant is a destination in its own right and attracts diners from a wide radius. Emphasis is on locally sourced modern British food. Starters include mussels or homemade soup of the day. Main course might be grilled fillet of hake or trio of pork.
There is a good wine list or four kinds of real ale to choose from in the bar, including one brewed in the Vale of Belvoir. Lighter bar menus are also available Monday to Saturday at lunch or supper time. These and breakfast can be enjoyed in the conservatory or in fine weather on the terrace.
This area is also licensed for civil wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships and can seat up to 50 guests. As well as Belvoir Castle, local attractions include Belton House, Denton Manor, and further afield, Burghley House and Rutland Water.

Hotel reviews
November 2011 : We booked the Manners Arms for our wedding reception back in April and our whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Planning our day with Michelle and the Chef team was effortless and nothing was too much trouble for them. On the actual day, the service was excellent and every guest was made to feel important.

August 2011 : Stayed at the hotel this week. Had a lovely three-course meal for L18.50 on a ‘paper’ menu….this is due to the ever changing menu based on seasonal items etc. Could not fault the meal and nice bar area with a number of real ales. Rooms really nice. We stayed in the Hunting Room with comfy bed and expensive linen.
