The Old Rectory

Lodge No 47

A long gravelled drive leads to this Grade II rectory, standing proudly on a hill next to the church, in this lovely Leicestershire village in the heart of fox hunting countryside. The building has many unique features, and was externally decorated using crests and stone figurines dating back to 1732.

Guests are greeted warmly and are offered welcoming afternoon tea served in the drawing room. An imposing oak staircase leads past guest dining rooms and lounge to a galleried landing and beautifully decorated king size, twin and single bedded en suite guest rooms - all with televisions, hospitality trays and quality toiletries.

The bedrooms overlook the traditional fruit orchard, formal topiary yew trees, landscaped flower beds and a walnut tree known to be grown from walnuts taken from a renowned Motte and Bailey castle mound in Hallaton in the 11th century.
