The Oakham hotels listed below are either in

from Oakham. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal
accommodation.
One of the principal towns of Rutland
is Oakham, 20 miles from Leicester and Peterborough. Oakham is
a bustling market town with a market every Wednesday and Saturday.
The splendid Great Hall of Oakham Castle, a fortified manor house,
is one of the finest examples of late 12th century domestic architecture
in England. The Hall possesses a range of 12th century carved
figures. Above the capitals of its fine column there are six
musicians, each playing a different instrument. Although they
are damaged, they are of beautiful quality and were almost certainly
carved by masons who had worked at Canterbury Cathedral. Also
