The historic Blue Ball is one of the four ‘Country Style Inns’ owned by dedicated husband and wife team Allen and Julia Freeman. It has a long history in Rutland, being the county’s oldest inn, and has always sustained an excellent reputation for food.

Following the extensive and sensitive refurbishment by Allen and Julia, this gem of an inn has once more become a delight to dine in and relaxing to drink in. Retaining all of it’s original features and warmth, care has been taken to choose furnishings and décor that give the inn an added warmth and a touch of luxury the modern visitor expects from a highly regarded establishment.

Allen and Julia’s trademark of a warm welcome with a comfortable chair by an open fire and friendly service continues at the Blue Ball.

They are confident that your first visit will not be your last, and you will want to try one of their other ‘Country Style Inns’.
