Castle Hotel, The 
 | Originally a 17th century farmhouse, this beautiful hotel sits on the edge of the Leicestershire countryside in the village of Kirby Muxloe, 5 minutes from the junction 21A turn off.
The Castle Hotel offers 22 beautifully decorated en suite rooms, all with their own individual personality. The hotel includes an amazing Chef and Brewer restaurant, featuring a core menu and weekly specials created by the head chef and his team, all picked and ideally accompanied by an outstanding wine list to give the guest the highest levels of enjoyment.
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. | | |  |  |
