The Greyhound Coaching Inn in Harborough

Stayed here while doing PADI dive qualification dives over at Stoney Cove. This place is a real piece of history as an old Coaching Inn. Lacked some of the mod cons of contemporary hotels but if you want to step back in time this is your place. Nice bar, lovely breakfast - the lady who served was wonderfully attentive and there was a real sense of family. Outside there is a passageway where I guess the old coaches would have come through but now it's an amazing piece of art is only how I can describe it you have to see it to understand. All in all well worth a visit and I'd happily stay here again. Cheers

Rooms are very tired and in need of some TLC. Floor grout lifting and very sharp on your soles. Breakfast was excellent.

Fantastic place and staff are lovely. Really friendly and accommodating. We stayed as a large group and they couldn't have been more helpful Food was great, traditional little bar has super selection of gin, rum and whisky plus real ale on tap.

Warm welcome & friendly service

Great selection of spirits, very old building with great history

Had a really lovely overnight stay. Great welcome both at reception and bar and restaurant. Thanks guys.

Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent food and usually a good selection of real ales. Highly recommended.

This is a very traditional coaching inn. The food is good and the menu is varied. It has a nice cosy atmosphere. It has a nice bar which is open to non- residents.

Went here for dinner whilst in town, good food, great service!

Lovely little inn with brilliant service. Parking right at the rear of the inn (it's paid public parking but very reasonably priced, with no charge on Sunday), very picturesque little courtyard (which I imagine would be wonderful in summer) and with a couple of nice easily accessible walks nearby. Room had everything we needed, and very accommodating for those travelling with a dog. No dogs in the restaurant but they are welcome in the bar, and they even set us up a table in the casual dining space for breakfast - which was also very tasty! Staff and service were lovely, rooms are slightly dated but nothing that would take away from the stay.

Delightful hotel and restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food, large selection of beers on tap and single malt whisky.

Time and time again, this hotel never disappoints. Very comfy beds, spacious and clean rooms, quiet nights, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Only had a drink, lovely old pub with friendly staff, nice atmosphere and a relaxing environment. The locals are friendly and chatty, definitely one to visit.

Lovely place great food only problem fire alarm went off 1 am no one about. phoned number on reception door still no one came don't no what would happen if a real fire u would be on ur own

Lovely food .pleasant staff .wonderful building

I stayed there for a night it was a standard hotel and room. We went to the restuarnt food was basic but then went to pay and was told that Scottish money was not accepted. In this day in age I find that discrimination it is legal tender my family hade to find English money between us to pay for the meal. I was not happy I will be contacting others about this. How can they claim to be friendly when they can discriminate against Scottish people and the currency.

Beautiful hotel and the food in the restaurant is gorgeous. Definitely one to come back to.

Great pub in the centre of Lutterworth. Fantastic food and drinks were had on our work Christmas do.

Gem for a stopover. Food, service, good rooms and near M1 with well kept real ale.

Lovely place, helpful staff, good atmosphere, great food.

What a great find. We (the London Welsh Male Voice Choir )were performing in the Wycliffe Rooms and many of us booked the hotel for an overnight stay . What a great decision ! Excellent staff and a great bar, stocked with 4 real ales and many lagers. We were very grateful to be allowed to sing in the bar during our après. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome. Very nice breakfast too🥐🥓

Very nice hotel .rooms basic but clean bed comfortable staying 2 nights on a course from work.

Charming historic place with nice rooms and comforting food Very friendly and helpful staff

Despite living in Lutterworth for several years growing up, this was only the 2nd ever time of visiting The Greyhound. It still remains very well kept inside with a lot of the architecture and features showing the age of the building itself. Polite staff, and not massively pricey drinks. No overly loud music playing either meaning this was a very tranquil place to go for a quiet drink in the afternoon. Looking to go back for a food visit on my next trip to Lutterworth

Lovely food.good price.had shrimp cocktail followed by seabass, both lovely.only thing I would say is that like a lot of places now staff think it's OK to start clearing table before we have all finished and to lean across to pick plates up. Otherwise all good

Great stay. With very helpful and friendly staff

Stayed overnight and had an evening meal. Excellent. The breakfast also was very good...cereals and so forth, plus cooked food. We loved all the plants in the beer garden.

After a long and very wet motorcycle ride. We were welcomed in a lovely friendly manner by a lovely lady on the reception and made to feel at home. Our room ( the 4 poster) was very comfortable and full of character ( note this is a very old traditional coaching Inn so understandable and expected that some things are not 21 st century which was lovely). Excellent Wi-Fi together with tea and coffee making facilities. The Inns bar was clearly popular with friendly locals and again comfortable and with friendly service. Unfortunately we did not get to use the restaurant on our first night ( Saturday) as we had already made plans and on Sunday night the restaurant is closed. I think we may have missed out because the breakfasts were first class. All in all from the owner down through all of his team the friendliness shone through.

A quaint inn, very central. Council car park at the rear very close. Quirky layout. I didn't use the restaurant (I was going out with friends.) However the breakfast was first class.

Always our go to pub in Lutterworth. Excellent bers and service. Coupled with Avatar literally over the road what's not to like 👏👏

Didn't use the hotel but the bar and restaurant are very pleasant. Staff very friendly

Nice clean rooms, good old fashioned bar and good restaurant

Stayed multiple times. Rooms are always good, breakfast is good with a good selection. Good bar and friendly staff.

Just off the motorway. Cosy and we'll appointed rooms , in pleasant garden, with ample and good value meals served by the most pleasant of people.

The staff so very friendly loved it

Nice friendly team. Casual atmosphere. Beautiful garden.

Extremely fond of this place and recommend it highly. Excellent staff, food and accommodation. Nearby parking a real bonus.

Can't knock the place. Stay regularly and everything from the staff, to the rooms and food is spot on !

Handy if you need to be in the centre of town. Staff are friendly but rooms can be hit and miss depending on which one you get.

Tired old small rooms. Can hear everything though the walls. Floor boards creak so you can hear every one in the hall. Paid parking

Fantastic stay lovely staff amazing food and all very well priced! room was great with a 4 poster lady on reception very pleasant and welcoming waitress staff very polite and helpful too only 30mins from the NEC so was perfect distance highly recommend room 3!

Had a fantastic stay, room was beautiful, service was excellent, food was excellent too, staff efficient friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Only ate a meal, didn't stay overnight but food was fab. Service great too.

Fawlty towers dining was amazing

Nice place, drinks are a bit expensive though

Fantastisk sted med sjarmerende eleganse. Bodde der 4 netter i november 2022. Servicen var god og rommene flotte med veldig gode senger. Koselig liten pub som ligger i hotellet med god atmosfære. Kommer helt sikkert tilbake til dette stedet ved en senere anledning. Frokost serveres fra morgen til utpå formiddagen. Stedet anbefales

Room over furnished. Carpet dirty. Dirty marks on walls. All surfaces seems in need of cleaning. Bathroom toilet, basin and bath clean but everything else needed cleaning. Extractor fan not working and shower VERY poor. Mastic needs replacing. Breakfast mediocre. Price of stay high.

We booked the Greyhound for a celebratory meal in their “Christina” function room for 30 people. The room was beautifully set up for us and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was exceptional, we had two courses (meat and vegetarian courses). A number of our party also stayed over and could not fault the accommodation. We very much look forward to visiting again.

I stayed at the greyhound coaching Inn last week as a business trip I was starting a new job and didn’t know the area very well. I picked it due to the charming photos of the garden online and it is just as nice in person! The inn has a relaxed atmosphere in the evening in the bar. I got to my room and it was full of character and very cozy all the facilities were clean and tidy and perfect for a short stay if you are travelling through. Breakfast was served in the morning and all the staff in the restaurant were attentive and there was good choice for vegetarians. I checked out and everything was fine until I found myself unable to book a taxi ( book in advance if you need one in rush hour) and no Ubers were in the area to take me in for my first day. I was panicking and upset but the staff at reception were amazing and helped to calm me down and solve my problem I was completely out of my depth in a new area and everyone at the coaching in went above and beyond to make me feel welcome! I cannot reccomend this place it’s staff and amazing owner enough, It’s great value for money with the breakfast included and always great to support an independent business! Thank you to the staff at the Carlton for making my first day a bit less stressful

Once again we weren’t disappointed, after the devastation of COVID to the hospitality industry we decided to revisit the Greyhound. We had a lovely stay, the hotel itself is extremely quirky. Full of history, if you’re after character this is your place! We had a good meal in the bar area and the staff were pleasant. Thanks for another lovely stay all.

Decided to go back to celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary where we had stayed and had our wedding reception in 2013. Unfortunately, there was little to no customer service on arrival and leaving - didn't even say goodbye. There was no option to stay and eat in the restaurant or bar as there was no vegan dishes on the menu which was disappointing for us. Our beautiful four poster room was like being in a boiler room due to the noises from the building's heating, water and fan extractor systems. The duvet cover was ripped at the bottom. On the whole I could go on but the reality is it was disappointing and we expected better.

Lovely staff, great food, very good accommodation , covid precautions taken seriously felt very well looked after I fact everything super - will def be back

We booked the restaurant for a private event. The hot food and sandwiches were really tasty and good value per person. Their was unlimited tea, coffee and water and also cakes. They also catered for vegetarian and celiac.The staff were efficient at cleaning up, replacing crockery and topping up the drinks. There is a bar in the next room.

Came with friends for Sunday lunch. A wonderful carvery, the meat was really good quality and cooked well, as were the roasties and vegetables. There was even cauliflower cheese a favourite, and lovely meaty gravey. The starters and puddings were also good quality. The service was great and the staff were all helpful. Will be back again.

Came with friends for Sunday lunch, although there were 12 of us the service was quick and efficient ,the carvery was good and the vegetables hot, all in all worth coming,

Restaurant was cold even though it was full, as heating wasn’t turned on. Eventually did warm up.Soup was bland Lamb shank tasteless. Veg not very exciting with frozen peas. Desserts were much nicer than main courses Friendly service but it took ages to be able to pay, almost walked outSorry couldn’t be more positive

My partner and I came here today for a Sunday carvery. Best decision ever.... The meat was so juicy and tasty, no stingy portions either! Roast potatoes were gorgeous and the broccoli and cauliflower cheese was to die for!. This place is an absolute little gem and I am over the moon to have found somewhere that does a carvery as good as this to go to on a Sunday afternoon! Restaurant is small but cosy so I would recommend booking a table in advance if you want to eat there. We will 100% be back!! Sooooo glad we found this place! Thank you.

We recently stayed here with friends. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and given great service. We had lunch in the bar which was very tasty. We stayed Saturday night, eating dinner in the restaurant. There were plenty of choices on the menu, everyone enjoyed their meals, accompanying wines were reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a range of juices, cereals, fruits etc available as cooked to order. Service at all times was very good. All 6 of us enjoyed the weekend! Although no parking, there is a public pay and display at the back.

Weekend stop with friends. Cosy traditional pub with well kept ales and a great selection of whiskies and other spirits. Good English breakfast, and comfortable rooms. Parking in pay and display behind.

We had a birthday celebration on Saturday evening. Also booked an overnight family stay.On first view we thought it looked a bit small but how wrong we were. The place went on and on.Nice bar and a lovely restaurant. The food was absolutely super and generous portions. Had a three course. The white bait starter was really nice indeed.Everyone enjoyed their meals.Afterwards we retired to the bar. Allowed to relax and stay. Never seen a bigger selection of Whiskeys and Gin.Staff were super.

Stayed for one night in a very comfortable room. Would ask for one on ground floor next time as stairs are a bit of a problem for me. Very quirky room with beams and sloping floor but extremely comfortable bed and spotless bathroom with lovely hot shower and huge fluffy towels. Delicious meal in the evening and enjoyed a very good breakfast too. Friendly staff, so able to relax and really enjoy ourselves. Very pretty courtyard garden which would be lovely to sit in in good weather. Parking is behind the hotel in a public car park but not a problem. Would certainly stay here again.

A bit of a gem. Fantastic food. Sensible sized menu offering a varied selection of dishes. Food of a very high standard. Staff were excellent. Nice decor in restaurant. Extremely good value too. Will be going back soon.

We just stayed for 2 nights with our 3 children and 2 dogs. The room was really comfortable, we were made to feel welcome and the food was brilliant. We ate from the restaurant on both nights of our stay. On the 2nd night a polite and kind waitress asked if she could get our dogs a drink, this made us feel at ease with the dogs being with us and was much appreciated. She was very attentive and the service was better than that of a five star hotel.

Wot a brilliant and beautiful place for our wedding Tina u are a star ⭐️ taken all pressure out off the day ur staff did u proud so happy we chose ur hotel for our wedding xxx. 10 out 10 for everything even the rooms brilliant x

Well what can I say from start to finish, this night was superb. 5 family members attended the only fools and 3 courses night. The Inn itself is absolutely gorgeous and so full of character. The entertainment was excellent and the food was delicious.

Well, where to start? My wife is a wheelchair user, and the trouble these guys went to, to make or evening enjoyable, was beyond the norm - Tina and Beata were superb throughout the night - from our greeting on arrival, getting Wendy and her chair upstairs (she is unable to get out of her chair and climb), looking after us during the show and meal, to getting us back downstairs at the end, when the stair lift had broken! Nothing was too much trouble! (AND - the show was superb!)

We have been going to the Greyhound for several years now and they never let us down. The food is always really, really good. Especially the Sunday Carvery - you can tell they make sure to source good quality meat, it’s excellent. We’ve also been for evening meals during the week and these have also been lovely. The menu always strikes a good balance between having some traditional favourites and also something a little bit different.

Lovely place to stay. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful room in the annex. Great food. Highly recommended

Called for a few drinks. Lovely cosy atmosphere, friendly staff. We didnt eat here but the food looked lovely

I went there with my partner and others for a meal on a Thursday night and chose from the main menu rather than the Christmas one.

I recently went with friends for a meal. The menu can be a bit expensive depending on what you have, but the meals are always freshly cooked and tasty so it can be worth the extra cosy. The restaurant was quiet with music playing quietly in the background and the murmur of people talking. The bar was cosy and a bit livelier and there was a pleasant ambience. We will probably visit again very soon.

A welcome change from usual pub snack . Food good and well presented . Service good as well despite the fact it was very busy. We have been back again and it was just as good. They seem to be improving all the time

Booked two double rooms. Rate was £77 per room b&b;, reduced to £72 per room with booking.com discount. The building is nice with a nurtured courtyard. The rooms were standard traditional English fayre. One smelled of stale cooking fat. The rooms backed on to a public car park which was frequented by noisy people between 0100 & 0130. The bar is nice but rather too small and service was slow. The locals at the bar displayed a nice line in parochial bigotry. The ‘full English breakfast’ displayed the intrinsic meanness of traditional English hospitality: one sausage, one egg, one rasher of bacon (not well done as requested ) a measured tablespoon of baked beans and a few watery mushrooms. My request though to omit the grilled tomato was observed. All in all another example of bleakness

Arrived on speck for Sunday lunch, our first visit, the food and selection was excellent. Very attentive staff, the chef did the rounds of the tables to make sure everyone was happy. Couldn't find fault with anything, very enjoyable and relaxing lunch

We arrived on spec and opted for a twin bedroom.Breakfast which consisted of continental and full British was included and was very pleasant. We had an evening meal which was ok but wouldn't recommend the sirloin steak for what it cost was unexceptional. The staff were very welcoming and helpfull. Would stay again in this charming antiquated establishment of historical relevance. It has a beautifully kept little courtyard garden for enjoyment.

Warm, welcoming service. Kim was outstanding - firstly ensuring we were comfortable and happy with our seating, and then going to some lengths to reunite me with a very dear ring I had left behind. The fact it was even spotted shows careful attention to detail and that everything is checked thoroughly. It's heartwarming to come across such care and concern. The food is super, a traditional lovely old coaching Inn. Would highly recommend.

Family get together, 16 of us for early evening meal all choices pre-ordered everything was fine service was good and food was ok if a little average. Would I go back? Probably not, it’s just with quite a choice of places to eat even in a small market town that is Lutterworth you can do better, to be fair I would have been just as happy at the Elms or even picking up a takeaway from Neptune’s chippy. Is it me or do we expect a bit more when we go out to eat? Not saying it was bad or anything, the place was busy and they obviously have plenty of customers but I just think you need to try just that bit harder now to impress and give your customers a reason to want to come back and sadly I didn’t get that vibe here. As I said just average for me

We booked a meal at the Greyhound as part of a conference in Lutterworth as it was recommended to us and quite a few of our guests delegates were staying in the hotel. There were about 35-40 guests and we were very impressed with both the service and the food. The staff were very polite and efficient. The food was excellent quality, well cooked and very tasty. The room we were in was really nice and comfortable, in keeping with the traditional coaching in style downstairs. It was very nice to have pre dinner drinks downstairs first. We would really recommend The Greyhound for similar parties. Also it was great value as we paid £25 per head. Thanks to the staff who looked after us on the night.

My daughter and her partner were staying here so we all joined up for a drink. What an amazing place with really friendly staff. There are over 100 whiskeys to choose from along the shelves around the bar. Beautiful spot will call again.

A very nice "Bar meal" with friends local to the venue. Superb food and nice wine. Highly recommended and will come back without hesitation!

We stayed here on our way down the Southampton travelling from East Yorkshire, we only booked roughly 4 hrs before we set off. When we arrived there was a slight problem with the booking but the beautiful Lara on the front desk sorted everything out. We were shown to our rooms which were lovely, in fact the whole place was lovely. Had a drink in the bar, a lovely chat with a couple at the bar and the lovely Lara, went to bed which was a lovely sleep then went for our gorgeous breakfast. Just can't fault this place...if you read this Lara, have a fab holiday in Cornwall.

We stayed over the cup final weekend for a friends party nearby. Very comfortable room with good shower etc. Friendly helpful hosts and super breakfast. Recommended by our party hosts and for good reason! Thanks!

We are currently sitting in the quaint garden area. Attention to detail is evident, not only in the well maintained pots and shrubs but also with the service. We received a warm welcome and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The generous Sunday carvery was delicious and the good humoured chef, Will, was incredibly helpful and personable. We found this gem en route home to London. We highly recommend stopping in if you are travelling along the m1. Situated in a picturesque town, we will certainly be coming back.

Drop in by chance. Good choice of gin! I was surprised. Place was quite empty though. Beautiful gardens. Will return and try the food!

We stayed here mainly as it was closer than where we lived for our visit the next day to Armourgeddon for a tank driving experience.

Impromptu visit, no issues catering for gluten free diet, well presented chicken with asparagus and pineapple chilli salsa was lovely. Good service, friendly staff really enjoyed my first rhubarb and ginger gin! Daughter managed to finish a large slice of warm chocolate cake and cream

Visited on a Saturday night with friends. Food was spot on with great service. It was not busy and no background music so don’t expect a loud noisy atmosphere, great to chat and catch up with friends though.

Very disappointed to find that my “twice cooked chips” turned out to be processed frozen chips! They may well have & probably were twice cooked, but feel the description was misleading & expected better, it’s not a cheap “bar meal” I was also incredibly aghast at the chefs reaction when he unashamedly told me that he never said they were actual hand cut chips just that they were twice cooked. I don’t know about you but twice cooked processed chips might as well be cooked just the once. At least that way the overheads might be cheaper and the savings passed onto the customer.

Have eaten here many times the food is excellent. Being in a wheel chair the access is good and the staff are excellent we are always looked after very well. Highly recommended

Went for lunch but didn't Surat as there was no heating The temperature outside was 7C so we went to the pub opposite. Hopeless way to run a pub. Pubs are supposed to be welcoming not freezing !!!

Had an excellent evening meal here. The menu is not huge but nice and varied. Food is freshly cooked and delicious. Staff are very friendly and service prompt. Recommended.

This was our first visit to the restaurant although we have enjoyed a drink in the cosy bar before. Menu is not vast but seemed to cater for most needs. Food is freshly cooked and well presented and worth the few minutes extra wait. We had the sea bass which was delicious and the goats cheese tart which was tasty and very filling! We shall definitely return!!

We booked the room for 25 people, the food was lovely also the service and a lovely atmosphere there was only one thing wrong but I think it should not have happened we were all crowded up at one end of the restaurant with little room to manoeuvre bare in mind the visitors were all in there 80s and 90s. They had little room to get to the table to sit for there meal but there was plenty of room in the restaurant to have given us more room. Please look at the layout of the seating in future.

We had a lunch party updtairs for a special lady. The bar has a great choice of beer wine and spirits. We had a Sunday roast 4 course meal. I have never had food so hot. The roasts dinner was amazing. The staff were number 1. Nothing too much trouble and looked after the little ones really well. The food was the best roast dinner i have had for a long while. Love this place.
