One to remember for the future.
room great, breakfast great, parking great. If working just need to be aware wifi has very weak signal, so not the best. Stay was on a Monday night, so menu was limited (burgers & wings which would not be my usual option) although my burger, as it goes, was good. Therefore I would gave to give it 9/10.

Ideally placed for Loughborough University
Quiet location just outside of Loughborough makes a great base to visit kids studying at uni. Lovely bar and breakfast provided. We stayed on a Monday night so unfortunately the restaurant was not open.

Less than expected.
Pros: A compact clean upper room. Comfortable bed. Coffee/espresso and tea makers. Good sized bathroom. Close access to pub/ restaurant. Easy parking. Cons: Low sloped ceiling caused lots of head bumping incidents. The nice shower was unusable due to I defective water temperature control. Water temperature too hot. Despite the roomy bathroom, the sink was really small with a fixed faucet jutting out over the bowl. Not practical. No room service. Overall: This room would be adequate for a one night stay.

Amazing food, great staff, COMFY BED!
I stay away from home a lot for work. As a line female traveller of a certain age I want to make sure I can get food on site, park on site and then I check previous reviews. I can honestly say this is one of the nicest places I have stayed. The room, in a relatively new build block of 6, was a good size, really well equipped and the bed!!! Comfiest bed and bedding ever. I even stripped the quilt to see what make it was (Dorma!) The pub was lovely. I met locals, had a great chat with Lee, the owner, and the food!! Far better fare than standard pub grub. I was there for steak night and wood fired pizza night. Both were superb. All the staff were brilliant. It felt really homely. The one point others make about noise from other rooms is right. I'm sure they are just stud walls with no soundproofing, so was woken early every day by my neighbour on the phone, and on day 3 had a Bob Fleming cough so severe I feared he might cough himself to death. However, it did not affect my overall view of the place, and I certainly will return.

Two room weekend family stay
We booked two rooms for a one night Saturday stay, two adults and adult/children in another. With our daughter at University in Loughborough we based ourselves here for both her and our eldest daughter to attend a music event in Birmingham that evening and to allow us to spend the following day in Loughborough. Whilst they went off to the event my wife and I took the children down to the pub where you check in, for a meal on the Saturday (around 5pm). Despite not having booked, we were accommodated on a table reserved for party arriving later and enjoyed great woodfired pizza, garlic bread and chips, which was all great. This pub is very popular and given the quality of the food, I can see why, so I would recommend booking a table in advance with your stay. The building is very new, so all as you would expect, very clean, the rooms had underfloor heating, we turned the thermostat right down and still very warm. The following morning we had breakfast in the pub and brought our daughter from University along to join us too, which was really nice and the staff only too happy to accommodate her as well, despite not having stayed. Again, the meal was excellent, between us we had a variety, from full English, to vegetarian, as well as a few hand picked items for the children not wanting the full works. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting children at Loughborough University and we have already booked again for the Mother's day weekend for another visit to our daughter.

Very new
The rooms are new, a little on the small size. Great coffee machine in the room - big plus from me! Bed was good, shower good, staff nice and great breakfast. Sadly the experience was completely overshadowed by the complete lack of insulation between rooms, every time someone upstairs moved it was amplified throughout.

Staff very professional, friendly and helpful. On arrival we were checked in straightaway and shown to our rooms. These were very clean, had everything you would need for an overnight stay and beds were very comfortable with plenty of extra pillows. Lisa showed us around the room and took orders for breakfast. The Barn Courtyard rooms are located at the top of the car park of The Horse pub We had our lunch here which was absolutely delicious. We could not fault service and helpfulness of staff. Breakfast was served in The Horse pub and again this was delicious, one of the best breakfasts we have had. All in all a very enjoyable overnight stay and a place we would highly recommend

Outstanding, Modern, Quality
This was a really fantastic little find. We booked it whilst travelling and arrived within 3 hours of booking. The place was immaculate, the bathroom was the best I have ever had in any accommodation with the exception of luxury hotels in London. It was a walk in shower and beautiful. The room was top notch with everything matching, not just thrown together. 40” tv easily viewable from bed, unlike many places. The young lady who showed us to our room was wonderful and so friendly. Had we not have been travelling so long we would definitely have had dinner at the on site but not adjoined (this is a good thing) pub. Breakfast was great too, served in the pub and freshly cooked. My only criticism would be the toast which is cooked on a grilled giving it a burnt taste, but this is a personal preference. Would stay again without hesitation if in or near the area. Outstanding. Thank you
