The Castle in Blaby

A great stay - cannot fault the rooms - restraunt- service particularly Caroline. Couldn't do enough to ensure our pleasure - happy to return - soon

Had a few drinks and some dinner. Food was lovely and the atmosphere great.

Booked a table and had the festive menu, I had the beef cheek and my friend had the turkey. Both meals were delicious! Olivia and Paul looked after us really well and made sure we had everything we needed. Lovely night, thank you

Very Friendly Team, Attentive and Probably the best night's sleep I've had in a long time!

The food is amazing the rooms are on point the staff can’t do enough for you Caroline makes sure I always have breakfast to take away staying in the castle is like a home from home experience

Love this place,love coming back

Always a warm welcome at The Castle Regularly stay at here for work. As well as a good location for me the main reason is the lovely service from Caroline and the team who go out of their way to make my stay extremely comfortable. Quaint, cosy rooms with good showers, a very welcoming bar and restaurant with delicious specials. Breakfast is particularly brilliant, lots of cooked options made to order and really good coffee! The outside area is pretty with a large patio and lots outdoor tables overlooking castle ruins. A perfect stay.

Another visit and another great stay, feels like my second home. Becca, paul and the team always look after me. Great rooms lovely breakfast! Can't fault the place

Very nice pub, good food, super friendly staff, plenty of parking, walking distance to the castle.

Went for lunch here, so cannot comment on the rooms or location. The food and service was really good and a lovely atmosphere for a Friday lunch time. Definitely will be back.

Morning coffee served by the beautiful Caroline in the gorgeous gardens 😍

As a New Zealander working abroad, I’ve yet to come across a hotel which encapsulates a feeling of class, comfort, and homeliness until now! The warmth that this hotel brings was second to none! You’ve got to either dine in, drop by for a drink, or stay the night if you are visiting Leicester!

Update : We stopped coming a couple of years ago as the quality dropped. Went again today and it was worse, so won't be going again. The staff are still nice but the food isn't. My dish was smaller and overcooked, my beer was warm (can of Guinness), the other meals were mediocre. Nothing was bad bad but we are paying for a better than "spoons" experience. Shame as we really liked the place. Old review : Lovely place with super friendly staff. Food is always good and there is plenty of park at the back.

The food and service here is amazing! We were greeted by staff with a smile and nothing was too much trouble for anyone! Olivia served us throughout the night and the dishes recommended to us by her were delicious! Such a lovely place to visit.

Booked a table for brunch at the weekend, place was so busy! Becca, Pam and Liv, looked after us so well considering they were rushed off their feet! Another great visit, will be back soon

Such a great place, every time we come we love it!! Well done team!

Love this hotel, everyone makes you feel so welcome especially Becca, Paul, Pam. Food excellent and plentiful. Rooms clean, modern, comfortable and the little added extras make your stay feel very special. Even has decent sized cups! All this and a wonderful moted castle within walking distance.

Went here Saturday, good day out, served by friendly bar staff (Josh) Great service from a manager called Steve aswell

Fantastic brunch this morning, service from Olivia and Caroline was brilliant too!

Service from Liv was great. She was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely place to visit! Will definitely be returning!

Great rooms (although tiny) Great food for breakfast & dinner

Had a smashing breakfast at there. i was meeting some colleagues after a drive up form the capital city. Lovely, warm, friendly staff and the breakfast was truly exceptional. Would love to come and stay as the hotel is in a lovely quiet location with easy access to the M1. Highly recomended.

What a lovely breakfast. Caroline is an amazing host - Thankyou for looking after us 😁

Amazing breakfast from , Pam and Caroline Great service, great food Idea place for a business breakfast meeting 5 Star Many thanks Paul , Dave and Karl County contractors

Came in for a meal and was looked after by becca and Liv, had the duck pie off the autumn specials was delicious

Good Hotel. Very friendly and helpful employees. Great breakfast. We were very satisfied and will definitely go back! Thanks Pam and Caroline.

It's always nice to come here. I experience a cozy atmosphere. Thank you especially for the friendly service from Caroline and Olivia.

Thank you Caroline & Olivia. You make this hotel my home.

Great place to visit, sat in the garden and could see they’re having work done out there! Looking forward to seeing it once it’s all done, was served by Olivia, who was a delight!

Brilliant food and service !!!!

Excellent food and excellent service

Came in for a lovely lunch today, had Bangers & Mash. Was served by a young lady called Lauren who was very polite & nothing was too much trouble, made our lunch a very enjoyable one 👍🏻

We visit the castle a lot as it is our local and very friendly with great food and drink options. We had a lovely family meal on a Friday and Zach served us. He was so helpful and very attentive to all of us, replacing my drink without bother when it didn’t taste right! Nothing was too much trouble! Thank you Zach! :)

Lovely food and fabulous service by Lauren and Sarah today. Definitely will be coming back soon!

After a looooong night shift I was looking for somewhere to stop for breakfast. My GF sent me the postcode to The Castle saying it looked like it did breakfast. I parked up, went in, asked about breakfast and although I wasn't a guest they were kind enough to seat me for breakfast and what a result The food and drinks were absolutely spot on and the staff were so down to earth, polite, welcoming and funny The two members at work couldn't do enough for me. Pam and Steve are an absolute credit to this hotel and if I'm ever back this way will 100% return Highly recommended Paul

I come every week and always feel so welcome, I've been on holiday for 2 weeks and I come back to a welcome message saying welcome back , we hope you had a lovely time from becca, and Pam looked after me on breakfast! Thank you

This was a last minute booking for myself and my partner and we were so pleased we decided to come here. Steve, the Duty Manager, greeted us warmly and was extremely helpful. We had managed to book the last available room and it was amazing. Very clean, with a large king size bed and a very large ensuite. We had booked an evening meal and were definitely not disappointed. The menu was varied and very good value for money. Tavis, our server was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is literally next to a moated castle and we enjoyed a lovely walk around the moat in the morning. We had booked breakfast and that certainly didn't disappoint. Pam was very helpful and informative, making us feel very welcome. We loved this hotel and would certainly go back if in the area again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and food in the restaurant. All staff have been very friendly, attentive and helpful. Room was quiet and had everything we needed. Nice to have iron and board without having to request it. Lots of additional touches. Welcome tray with a lovely, personal message and as we would call it, ‘posh’ biscuits and drinks options with additional thought of the option of fresh milk for drinks if wanted- a little milk urn to be filled upon request and keep the milk cool! Breakfast was excellent value, again with attentive, friendly staff. Would recommend and stay again!

Great breakfast and good service from Pam 👍🏻

As we’re local to the hotel we only came for food, restaurant, bar and terrace are lovely settings. Service was impeccable by all staff we dealt with, but ISOBEL in particular went above and beyond, and she is a credit to The Castle @ Kirby Muxloe

Great friendly service my waitress was very helpful with helping me decide what to order.it was my forat time there and will defo return.food was delish and guiness was one the best i have had lately.

Really lovely pub, lovely atmosphere, such good cocktails (English Garden) made by Sara and lovely service from Jack and Steve. Will definitely return again with my family!

We had the rosemary white chocolate tart & the apple tart, both desserts were lovely and the addition of ice cream on top really made them great. Our server Steve was great and provided lovely service. Will be coming again.

Lovely room and friendly staff. Caroline looked after us well at breakfast with an extra touch for our wedding anniversary

Great night, atmosphere, service and food all perfect. Special thanks to our waitress Liv. Highly recommend!

Came to get a drink today in the beer garden. Was served by Liv, who was very polite and helpful. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Came back again and sat in the garden to enjoy the sun and have a drink. We were served by Liv who was very friendly when serving us. Didn’t have food this time but still one of our favourite places to come!

We came for food, and was made to feel very welcome by all the Lovely staff. We were served by Izzy V, who was very chatty young lady and knew alot about the food being served. The food was very good, and then we went to sit in the Garden Patio area which was really nice end to the day. We will be back again soon.

Always a great experience whether popping in for an early dinner with the kids, celebrating an occasion or just meeting a friend for drinks. Always lovely food, nice atmosphere, brilliant service from Steff and the Team!

Wonderful food, I had the steak and ale pie which was great value at £16. However, the highlight of the meal was our wonderful server, Steve. He was very enthusiastic and welcoming, we felt at home :)

Had a lovely family meal Steve was a delight

Lovely place, all the staff was great, food amazing, our room was tiny but was beautiful and clean , definitely will stay again , thank you to all the staff there x

Friendly and good quick service

Thanks to Steff we had a lovely lunch at the Castle in Kirby Muxloe. Excellent service. Thank you Steff 😊

We meet up once a month for the breakfast club, and this month's venue was the Castle inn. The breakfast was lovely and the service was excellent.

This is one of our local pubs in the village and we come for food here very regularly. On this occasion there was a group of eight of us having dinner on a Saturday night as a catch up. Food menu is great and we were served by Ellie, who was attentive, friendly, explained the menu to us, as it had changed and recommended some dishes too. Great service, thanks Ellie for your help!

Had a big family get together yesterday didn't stay just ate in the restaurant. Good service and good food

Lovely food , squid a little chewy but everything else was lovely

Great menu choices. Food was very nice and great service too. Thanks Faye.

Fantastic food and such a lovely setting. Caroline was a fantastic host, very attentive and helpful. So kind with our 2 children too.

Very disappointing food and overpriced! If you like the taste of disappointment this is the place for you. My burger was dry, cold in the middle, and tasteless. The so called ‘pulled brisket’ inside was actually (and literally) four 2cm chunks of overcooked steak and had chunks of fat on it…was so chewy it had to be removed. My chips were dry and clearly re-heated. My partner’s chicken was also dry and the tiniest portion with some stale veg. This used to be a great place for food but now, not only is the quality so poor but also overpriced. Beer and burger, chicken breast and soft drink came to just shy of £50.

Great food, rooms are ok, staff are friendly, would definitely recommend.

lovely meal on the patio, great service and a big shout out to steve who was amazing.. thankyou steve

We had a lovely meal here for a 90th birthday party. We pre-ordered all of our meals which was efficient but probably takes away that element of "What do I fancy right now?". The staff catered for 16 of us with ages from 4 to 90 and everything was good.

Very reasonable price for an overnight break of a journey and had a late drink in the bar before heading to bed. Room was well decorated for the price. Only challenge wax checking in (not very clear where or how from the car park and several entrances) and then the long walk and many stairs to get to our room.

Lovely pub, lovely garden, friendly staff. Decent food.

Great room. Expensive food. £17 for burger and a few chips. The breakfast in the morning was good. They did upgrade me as I was the only person in the hotel.

Beautiful building, rooms very clean and comfortable with good sized bathrooms. Superb dinner & lovely breakfast. Staff incredibly welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous garden area

Booked in to the castle res had a very good meal service from Ellie was brilliant would def recomend Rob Carol Richard and Lynn.

Wanted a couple of sides to order for outside, went up to the bar at 8pm and it took me 20 minutes to get served. At that point the gentleman said they wouldnt do food outside, so i went away with my beer a little dissapointed and 25 minutes goes by.. Two bowls of chips come out? Another 10 minutes goes by and another bowl of chips come out for the table behind us? Either theyd waited 50+ minutes for a bowl of chips or something needs organising bad 👎🏻 the manager was very polite and welcoming though.

Excellent food. Reasonable service. Disappointed that my two favourite beers Tribute and Abbott were unavailable that evening. Will definitely come again. ...and I did. Beer and food didn't disappoint.

I visited here a number of times for breakfast. Nothing ever too much trouble, very welcoming and the cooked breakfast is top quality.

Lovely food well presented will definitely go back and attentive staff

Great place, welcoming staff, good food & atmosphere , value for money & a castle within a few minutes walk. Close to Leicester, where not to like. Thank you lovely people .

An excellent lunch and a well stocked bar. Will definitely visit again.

Had a fantastic 1 night stay at this hotel. The rooms are a good size and well furnished. The staff (Olivia & Caroline) were extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. Would definitely return!

Service and food lovely, but the pie was quite big and could easily have served 2

Really good service good price very pleased

Stunning pub! Really cozy and nicely decorated . A lot of space inside, plenty of parking outside. Food was lovely, service on point. Highly recommend.
