Very dissapointing
Pros:

The location

Cons:

We have stayed here a few times over the last few years , unfortunately it has changed hands and in my opinion has gone down hill , to start when we checked in bearing in mind it was -2 outside there was no heating on in the room but was told to put on when you get inside it was freezing in the room , when i did put the heating on only the top half of the radiator gets hot it needs bleeding , we was only given 1 towel and 1 gown for 2 of us i had to go to reception and ask for another 1 , also the shower had hair in the tray and only 1 bedside light worked all things that surely should be checked before check in , we was hoping to eat there as the food used to be lovely but after a look at the menu was ok if you liked something anything in a wine sauce or pizza , also when asking if we could book for breakfast was told don’t do it anymore you have to go to the local cafe , missing a trick there if you ask me as breakfast used to be lovely there

Very friendly staff with good food and comfortable rooms. I would recommend.
Pros:

I stayed here for work and chose this place as it was the closest to where I was working. The room was comfortable and spacious with good parking right outside. There was also a fridge in the room which could have been useful for breakfast as this was not provided. The staff in the bar were very friendly and welcoming as well. I ate a 3 course meal in the bar and all courses were very good and good value. The village of Great Glen is lovely with a co-op store for breakfast supplies or a cafe called Lou Lou's which is excellent if you want it made for you.

Cons:

My only minor gripe was the wifi was so slow in my room it was almost unusable. I had good signal on my phone so I was able to hotspot.

Pros:

Super location for me. I arrived slightly early, but the staff arranged early access to my room. The food in the restaurant is superb, wished I had stayed longer to try more & had my wife with me to share it with.

Cons:

Only a couple of minor things, probably specific for me, would have likes a small table / desk in the room to use for paperwork. Sitting on the bed was ok, just not as comfortable for a couple of hours when using a laptop & sifting through sheets of paper. I could have gone over to the bar, but to be honest it was so bloody cold outside I though I would stay in my room for a bit & warm up until dinner time! Only other thought, it was very, very cold out. Large radiator in the room was excellent, however, loved the rustic door that goes straight out into the car park, obviously not built or fitted to modern standards of insulation. Simply having a curtain to draw across could have saved the odd draft & kept the heat in.

Excellent stay - restaurant outstanding
Pros:

The attraction on booking was the Italian menu and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is first class and is a real gem in the 'middle of nowhere'. Rooms are good enough - we were only there for sleeping and for that they are fine.

Cons:

No option for breakfast is a shame. The pub is closed early mornings. We were, however, able to find a very friendly cafe called Loulou's in the village of Great Glen that serves really great breakfast fare. We were lucky with the weather as this cafe would not be so convenient if it had been raining.

Nice pub hotel in southern Leicestershire
Pros:

Nice location, rooms are in a separate annexe to the main building, comfy bed and nice shower. Bonus of a mini fridge in the room.

Cons:

The windows are a bit draughty (but it’s an old building) on a cold day.
