The room was immaculate, spacious and warm. Beautifully decorated with all the facilities. Shower was nice and large with a really powerful water supply (I am not a small person). Breakfast was great, and they couldn’t do enough for me. If ever I am staying in this area again in the future, this will be my first port of call when booking a room.

Although the two rooms here are comfortable we stay here because the food, staff and ambience are excellent. We stay here as often as travel allows and is perhaps my favourite place to stay in the UK. The dining experience is excellent - the food is imaginative and well presented.
I cant think of anything

The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and the decor both tasteful and finished to a high standard - the little touches like a welcome letter demonstrated some care and consideration had gone into making you feel welcome. The restaurant was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed the presentation of the dishes, brought to the table by the chef [and I believe owner], a thoroughly enjoyable experience and evening. I would add though that it isn't the place to eat if you're looking for pub fayre or even a typical restaurant. Whilst a little pricier than I was anticipating, [£65 for 3 courses on a set menu], though would add well worth it given the quality of the food], I'd certainly recommend trying this out - and forewarned is forearmed. That said if you don't fancy this and on a more restricted budget, there is a pub a few hundred yards [I think] down the road which does food. I'd taken my daughter to start at the university and if she settles in there and stays the course [pun intended] I anticipate visiting Loughborough and the area regularly over the next 3-4 years and this will definitely be on the list to re-visit.

Unique accommodation (Forest room) and restaurant.
Comfortable room and en suite facilities.
Evening menu options, "different" amuse bouches and tasty, visually artistic blends of flavours served pleasantly and without undue haste.
Choice of breakfasts possible to see and order the night before.
A hook (back of bathroom door?) would have been useful to hang clothes whilst showering.
Not possible to open window in bedroom for fresh air as blind was down and not functional.
No draught beer on tap (due to imminent building works)

lovely room with lots of nice touches

My wife and I are glad we found this gem of an establishment. From the moment we arrived, a friendly lady welcomed us in and showed us to our room. We stayed in the Forest room which was beautifully decorated. Lovely touches such as Mini fridge with water, Milk, and Nespresso machine.
Breakfast was first class and delicious. Warm welcome in the morning in the restaurant by the friendly Danny, who served a generous portioned full English with fresh coffee.
Highly recommend staying here and plan to return again in the future.
Nothing negative to say as we absolutely loved our stay.

the room at the Hammer and Pincers was beautiful, carefully designed to give you everything you need
I met the owner at breakfast and shared the addition of a magnifying Mirror for aging eyes that need help when applying make up would be welcomed by those needing it, otherwise for someone needing to stay over for work or leisure this is a lovely location and offers the most amazing menu
the property was exceptional, as a female solo traveller the option of a small bar menu that allows food to be eaten in the room is a personal feature that I look for, I appreciate the type of customer to this property might not justify this request

Staff are really friendly and very helpful. They booked a cab for us. Beautifully decorated room and bathroom with comfy bed and great tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was delicious.

It's a beautiful place, stunning room and lovely, helpful staff. The breakfast was delicious. I'm coeliac and vegetarian and they catered for me. Absolutely brilliant.
