The Lawns - North West Leicestershire

We stayed one night for a family event nearby. Noticed the bar area downstairs to be quite rowdy already when we checked in, and when we left for the event at 7pm the place was swarmed with people and there were bouncers on the door?! We arrived back a few hours later to people staggering around the car park and music blaring. The noise of people shouting and singing continued until 12.30am.. every word could be heard clearly as we laid there in despair. The smell of cigarette smoke wafted through our window (which sadly we had to have open due to how ridiculously hot it was) which only completed the ambience. You'd think some sort of heads up would be mentioned on booking.com, or indeed at check in, given that people tend to book hotels to get some sleep. Another thing we weren't made aware of was our room was connected to the neighbouring room through a door which we suspected not to be locked. Quite unnerving given the potential clientele staying in the hotel that night. Not to mention our room was dusty, the pillow covers were dirty, the bed was not king size as advertised but a double. The mugs and tea spoons dirty, bath taps covered in slimy mould, kettle full of limescale, ceiling lamp about to fall out of the ceiling, and the walls were paper thin. Honestly made Travelodge seem luxurious. Great stay.

OK firstly, it could be a great hotel, it just needs ATD and a bit of money spending on the rooms. Our room was small with no room to move and very hot even with windows open. A fan can be had for a deposit I suggest you just put it in the room!. Lack of plug sockets, rediculous small TV, dated bathroom. Couple major things.. It was sorta clean. Plenty of dust on skirting boards behind bed and picture frames and rickety haphazard wardrobe. Bed double but small. Mismatched cups (dirty) and saucers, small kettle. Matress protector but no pillow protectors. Pillows badly stained asked for them to be replaced or double covered. When returned same pillows new cover not double had to sleep on the towel over which.. U only get 2 bath towels unless you ask. So pillows awfull and my ask not conveyed or executed. Other rooms looked bigger ones at back too small and walls so thin. Bathroom so dated but at least shower worked. Could be a great hotel with a bit of cash spent to update. Pubs OK parking good. Defo not worth £75 a night sorry. ATD needed

Came here with family and the dog. opted for the steak, was cooked to perfection and came with home made chips. we sat outside in the beer garden. there is always water and treats for the dog inside which is a nice touch. the staff are always fantastic, and atmosphere is always great. been back a few times now. the omelette at breakfast time is huge! great value. i will be back soon.

I’d mixed up with my booking. However the Lawns hotel were very accommodating and gave us a room no problem. Evening meal was delicious. Breakfast was lovely. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room small but very comfortable. We had our little dog with us. Only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again for longer.

The breakfast at this restaurant is decent and is served early in the morning, making it perfect for those with early business in town. Although the menu options are limited, it is sufficient for those seeking a simple breakfast. If I were to stay at the hotel again, I would definitely eat here again, especially since there are no other nearby options for breakfast.
