Leicester The Castle Hotel

Originally a 17th-century farmhouse, this hotel sits on the edge of the Leicestershire countryside in the historic village of Kirby Muxloe. Rooms retain period features and each includes a flat-screen TV.

The Castle Hotel offers 19 beautifully decorated en suite rooms, all with a Freeview TV, tea/coffee and ironing facilities, and a hairdryer.

The hotel includes a popular Chef and Brewer restaurant, with weekly specials created by the head chef. Food is accompanied by a carefully chosen but extensive wine list.

One of Kirby Castle?s ancient towers was demolished in the 18th century, with some of the bricks then used in the repair of the Castle farmhouse, adding to the hotel's character and historical charm.

Guests at the Castle are just 5 minutes' drive from junction 21A of the M1 motorway.

Hotel Information

This fine building was constructed in the 1630s as a farmhouse for the nearby Kirby Castle and its inhabitants. It replaced another farmhouse on the same site, which had probably dated back into the Middle Ages.

The noble Kirby Castle at one time possessed an additional tower which was demolished in the 18th century. The surviving bricks were used in the repair of the farmhouse, thus further adding to its character and historical charm.

A long farming tradition ended when the estate was sold in 1918. Later becoming The Castle Hotel, tales of secret underground passages from the castle to the hotel were confirmed when one was discovered in 1975.
