About this place Castle Hotel

Castle Hotel is a Chef & Brewer pub-restaurant with rooms on Main Street in Kirby Muxloe, a village about five miles west of Leicester city centre. It is a mainstream pub hotel listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. You get standard pub food and a bar downstairs, with guest rooms above. The ruins of Kirby Muxloe Castle are nearby, and the M1 and M69 are close, which suits drivers. Leicester's small LGBTQ scene, around Dover Street and Charles Street in the city centre, is about 15 minutes away by car. Reviews average 4.8 from around 100.

The staff are exceptional. Pam served us at breakfast and was warm friendly and first class in her welcome. Good food, a lovely quiet setting with plenty of parking and good quality rooms. The staff remain the stand out highlight so welcoming and helpful.
