All of the rooms are rich in unique character and individual charm, with luxurious feature rooms in the beautifully converted court mews and romantic four-poster suites in the main house.
The splendid oak-panelled Babington Restaurant is the perfect setting in which to sample the extensive menu and carefully selected fine wines. Lighter snacks, speciality coffees and afternoon tea are served daily in the Babington Bar, which has a magnificent real fireplace and cosy, inviting chesterfield sofas. In the warmer summer months, you can relax and enjoy a drink or some food on the heated garden terrace.Rothley Court itself is a rambling manor, with beautiful gardens, steeped in history and concepts of freedom. The Knights Templar used Rothley Court and the 13th century chapel in the building can still be visited. Lord Macaulay was born at the Court. He, together with Lord Wilberforce, became the great 19th century reformers working towards the abolition of slavery.
