A large hotel, pub and restaurant. Having been acquired from the former Spirit pub company by Greene King, this is now a 'Chef & Brewer' house. There is a large open-plan interior with numerous distinct areas. At the back, a patio and a large lawned garden with a view of Kirby Muxloe Castle. There are also 22 ensuite hotel rooms. There is a strong food offering including Sunday lunches and breakfasts daily from 7am.

Historic Interest

The building was constructed in the 1630s as a farmhouse for the nearby Kirby Muxloe Castle. Previously the Castle Farmhouse, it replaced an even earlier farmhouse dating back to the Middle Ages. Some of the bricks used for repair came from a demolished tower at the castle. The estate was sold in 1918, and the house became the Castle Hotel. Tales of secret underground passages from the Castle to the Hotel were confirmed when one was discovered in 1975.
