We looked at lots of hotels for a one night in Leicester. Most were either big chain or fairly basic city hotels. This is mainly a wedding venue but in a bit of a green oasis within Leicester. Quiet, good service, good food, plenty of space. A good find

We stayed there for a wedding that took place at their venue, the room although “deluxe” felt more like a standard room. The sheets looked worn out and the shower room floor could be cleaner like the rest of it was.
It was good to have a coffee machine and tea supplies in the room.

Bed really uncomfortable!
I really loved the hotel and my room, however the bed was really uncomfortable. The mattress was really lumpy and sank in on both sides so I didn't have a great nights sleep, hence for the low score. On-site parking was also great and was one of the reasons I picked the hotel.

There was a continual noise of running water in the room and a flashing carbon monoxide light. But it was clean and staff were friendly.

Only downside was condition of the mattress on the bed - severely worn and flattened on one side - it felt like sleeping on a hillside. Everything else during our stay was fine

There is beautiful parkland around the property and friendly and helpful staff. I was a little disappointed with the lack of menu options available in the afternoon. The bedrooms and hotel are fabulous and very comfortable. I would absolutely stay there again.
