Little gem. Up at Loughborough with my son for a days training the following day. Really friendly welcome, great room(we were in Yoko). We had to leave next morning before breakfast service started. They wrapped up some croissants and fresh fruit and left them outside our room for us unbudden, which was a lovely touch. Lots of parking, clean spacious room. Just one minor gripe, the pillows. Only one of them, and really flimsy, but that aside couldn't fault it. Will use again, next time we're up here.

old fashioned room
As the room was directly above the bar, it was quite noisy which was not ideal for working. Also I am not big on breakfasts but if I was, a continental breakfast would not be my choice. evening meal the night before was excellent however. The room whilst quirky was very dated and could do with an up-date.

Great size room, lovely stay.
Very pleased I found this venue. I was away for business, arrived around 20;00 on the first day, greeted with a friendly smile, assisted with my luggage to the room. Then enjoyed a lovely steak meal. Breakfast was continental style which suited me. This was served by Maggie, friendly and fun to chat with, which being a sole visitor was a nice bonus. Very enjoyable two day, lovely big room, what more could I ask for.

Second business trip here. Even though I got here just before closing, due to a 3 hour M6 closure, everyone was just as helpful and nice as the last time. Check-in easy. Room, service, food, drink & people great. As Arnie said...

Lovely place to stay near loughborough uni
Stayed at the Hunting Lodge as I wanted somewhere near to Loughborough Uni as I was attending the open day with my son. Good location, lovely pub both food and service was great. We stayed in the Biko room, it was very clean. Mattress was a bit soft for my liking but that's a personal preference. Only niggle were the beds made alot of noise (creaking) when you tried to move. Only thing that stopped me giving full marks. Would recommend and would use again if in the area. A much better option the holiday/premier inn etc.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Restaurant food is really good. Prawn and salmon risotto was amazing. Had a continental breakfast first morning and a full English the second. Faultless! We have been for food a few times before and will be back for more in the future.

It’s an old property so not likely to be pristine. But loved the staff; food; upgrade; price (with blue light discount) and short walk to beautiful canal and riverside walks and pubs. Bed very comfortable

Excellent hotel in a pleasant village.
This was a nice find, convenient for visits to friends in Loughborough and Leicester. The rooms are themed (ours was the 'Yoko' Japanese room) which is an unusual touch. The room was spacious with a large bathroom and a hallway. The beds were a little soft to our liking but otherwise comfortable and the room was quiet (though traffic on the A6 not far away was a low noise in the morning). The breakfast was fine and the meal we had in the restaurant was very good. Staff really pleasant and helpful. Nice village with walks on the river Soar nearby. One thing puzzled us (and the hotel when we told them about it) - according to the Hotels.com info this hotel does not supply towels or bed-linen. We thought this was maybe some sort of laundry-cost-saver and brought our own. We didn't need it! This incorrect info needs to be fixed!!

This is a lovely small hotel with loads of history. Today it is a very pleasant, quiet place to stay, allowing plenty of relaxation. We enjoyed a very tasty meal in the dining room. The service was everything it should be. In short very pleased and will come again.

A lovely unique property with extremely welcoming staff. Great check in and staff helped me with carrying luggage to my room. A few cobwebs around the ceilings, a squeaky bed but a powerful shower and slept well! Breakfast was included and rang up before as I'm gluten free vegetarian. The person on the phone went to speak to the chef who said a cooked breakfast could be organised. On the day I was offered fruit and gluten free toast. Maybe looking into more options for a gluten free breakfast?

Clean room (apart from mouldy shower curtain and mat), staff friendly, however, the breakfast was very poor, no fault of the lady serving, but a very poor continental breakfast with day old croissant and selection of cereals, with what seemed like cheap supermarket orange juice, is not acceptable when paying £140 for the room. I could have paid the same for a nearly manor with great room and fantastic breakfast, unsurprisingly that was full, unfortunately, and the Hunting lodge was pretty much empty.

Relaxing stay
Stayed in the Yoko room which was very pleasant, large room and had en-suite bathroom. Complimentary bottled water along with tea/coffee in the room which was a nice touch, particularly as the weather was so hot !! Excellent food. Lovely to sit outside in the large rear garden with evening drinks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
