Rutland in bloom, lakeside air and long, generous lunches
Easter at The Barnsdale
Easter at The Barnsdale feels different. The air is fresher, the light sharper, the countryside waking up around Rutland Water in quiet colour. It’s a time for gathering - for lakeside walks, proper Sunday lunches and evenings that drift on a little longer than planned.
Whether you’re staying the night, bringing family together for Easter Sunday, or carving out time for yourself in the spa, Easter here is about space, flavour and that unmistakable countryside calm.
Easter Stays
Easter is best enjoyed without an itinerary.
Arrive, settle into one of our characterful rooms and let the view do the rest. Step out for a bracing walk around Rutland Water, explore nearby villages and market towns, or simply claim a corner with a book and something warm to drink.
As evening draws in, join us for seasonal dining before retreating upstairs to comfort and stillness. No rush. No schedule. Just the sort of night’s sleep that only country air seems to deliver.
Morning brings breakfast cooked to order and another day that’s entirely your own.
Easter stays are available throughout the Easter period - stay for one night or make a long weekend of it.
Easter Dining
Easter is made for long lunches and tables filled with conversation.
Join us for relaxed seasonal dining across the Easter weekend, where spring produce and comforting classics take centre stage. Expect generous roasts, vibrant vegetables and desserts worth lingering over.
Easter Sunday is a highlight - gather family and friends, settle in, and let us take care of the details.
No overnight stay required.
Spa Time This Spring
If your Easter plans lean more towards restoration than celebration, our spa offers a gentler rhythm.
Book a treatment, enjoy a spa day, or simply carve out a few quiet hours. Thoughtful therapies, calming spaces and a sense of retreat from the everyday - it’s the kind of reset that feels particularly welcome at this time of year.
Pair your spa visit with lunch, extend it into an overnight stay, or come simply for the treatment and leave feeling noticeably lighter.
An Easter Gift That Lasts
If diaries don’t quite align, a gift voucher keeps the door open.
Whether for a countryside stay, Easter lunch, spa experience or future escape by Rutland Water, it allows them to choose their moment - and ensures Easter still feels thoughtfully marked.
Beautifully presented and simple to arrange.
