We had to come to a wedding. We thought in the country, boring place - etc. Well the room was magnif, the service magnif, and I had to stay up with the landlord and some locals, may I say, I have never been so welcome and so drunk in my life. We stayed another night, just because, it was the best experience ever. We are coming back. My review. Magnif.

Hey Guys, we arrived for a racing week at Bruntingthorpe, and ended up here. Its just an example of what should be in the States, amazing rooms, food and what a bar, and a host to die for, Robert - we want you to open in America - soon. Anybody staying here, will have the time of their life. Just, 5*. And I never write reviews. John Jnr.

I just want to take this concept back to the States. We have stayed all over Europe, and UK in hotels, and our friends put us in a B&B, WE THOUGHT 'oH MY God'. But what a place, we ended up staying two nights. The rooms - well, just beyond what we have had in 5 star hotel, the food and Pub. We Love. I wish I could tell every American visiting the UK about this place. Thanks Guys. We will be back. Arnie and Fiona, and 6 other stayers. I can say, web have not spent the time to write about any other place we have stayed in. And to Robert, the owner, I hate you for having all those Bourbons, I felt ill for 3 days. Thanks.

Just a huge surprise, what great rooms and what a bgreat wine menu and restaurant, just a little gem, hidden in the countryside. It certainly just overwhelms you. Should be advertised more.

I work for a Company on Magna Park, and as a lady on her own, hate hotels. What a difference this place was, and how in 10 years I never wanted to go to bed, just felt so safe, great breakfast and great host's. I'll be back.

A hugely fab place, I have stayed in lots of places arouind the UK and payed a fortune, but never had the owner - look after me so much. If you want a boring hotel, with a boring table for one or two, then go somewhere else. If you want a great night, and great food, then stay here. What can I

What a great place, great excitement, great food, great staff and a host to die for. OK, they had live music, but where do you go to find this?. We have stayed in a dozen Hotels in the UK since arriving here and never felt so welcome and met so many friends as this place. We stayed 3 nights.

Asuccess, we booked in here rather than the Premier Lodge, and what a choice, just, amazing, just amazing food, just amazing staff, just amazing rooms. I know that, that lady said it was noisy, but, what do you want, a dull hotel, or a bit of fun, we had a great time. Come - on we all stay in dull Hotels all week, this place is - like I said amazing. Great fun, Great food, Great rooms. X

Just amazing. I expected a B&B and got a restaurant to die for and a room beyond any expectation. Yes it was busy, yes it was noisy till 11pm, but full of life and great people. I could have stayed in a hotel, thank god I chose this place. I'll be back. xWARNING - EDITOR Suspicious postings - 5 in a row from same email address

What a great shame that the delights of their B&B (N0.7) is let down by the noise in the bar below. Voices (loud) could be heard until 3-30am(no thats not a mistake) The pub itself is charming and friendly, the B&B room (No.4) is well decorated and tastefully furnished. The view slightly lets it down .. extract ducting for the chinese, which can be heard until quite late. Lovely breakfast served. Only the late hour of the noise will stop us going back.

I work all over the country, and was posted to Magna Park. The DBA, what a find. I just can't say how fab the whole experience was, from the room's, to the pub to the restaurant. I left with a hangover, the landlord Robert, was like magnificent and I want to bring my family to Leicshire, just to experience it again.

Let me start by saying, I never write reviews. I travel all over, stay in great places all week long, alone, for my job. I'm writing this review because this place more than deserves it. Room's like you would expect to find in a fine hotel in Kensington, linked to the most fantastic friendliest village pub I have ever been in, and an amazing Chinese/English restaurant. Well worth a visit, and if your on business - trust me your looked after.

What a fantastic surprise. Room's, were beyond fabolous, like 5 star London, attached to a great friendly pub and restaurant (chinese and english) to die for. We had a great time, they even had Timothy Taylors Landlord as a real Ale, which was perfect. I cannot say enough, we'll be back.

Well what a surprise, we booked into the DBA's B & B which is called No7, and it was fantastic, like a posh hotel in Knightsbridge, the pub and restaurant were second to none, we just could not believe it, not often we comment but well worth a visit.
