Great pub/hotel/bistro in a beautiful peaceful village.
Staff were extremely helpful.
We had a wedding with so needed an early check-in and late return.
Both were accommodated for.
Room was clean, fresh. Continental breakfast was included in price. We also paid extra for cooked b/fast. Very nice freshly cooked, hot, good quality products. Nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend the Star Inn and stay there again. Or even go for a nice meal. Give it a go !

Food choice excellent, freshly prepared, tasty & gluten free options good. Slept well and beds comfy. Breakfast was again varied and well cooked. Tony you're a fab chef!! Will definitely revisit

Our stay was great.
The only disappointment was the shower. It wasn't very powerful and the temperature was unreliable.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly.
The continental breakfast was very good so it wasn't necessary to order additional cooked items.

Would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Staff were lovely. Friendly, helpful and efficient. Room was very clean, well appointed and cosy. Bed was comfortable. Bar / restaurant offered excellent food and drinks both in the evening and next morning for breakfast. Continental Breakfast included in the price was more than sufficient for our needs. Hopefully we'll get another opportunity to stay there.

Only spoiled by really by local clientele in the bar area being loud, vulgar, misogynistic and racist laughing loudly over such jokes and old enough to know better. I’m no prude and travel widely but just no need in such a nice bar.

A very pleasant stay. Check was easy and all the staff helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, fridge was very useful for fresh milk for tea/coffee. Very nice to have a bath and a shower too. Parking available and wifi connection was reliable. Very good ales in the pub. Only minor quibble was over breakfast. On the booking site it stated free breakfast, but on arrival we were told this was only the continental option and cooked items were extra. Perhaps this be clear on the booking site?

It’s ok, could be easily improved.

Couple of small tweaks would have made this stay perfect!
Unfortunately, the service for dinner was incredibly slow, we waited an hour for our main courses. There was mould on the bread at breakfast and no sugar or sauces to go with our cooked breakfast. A little strange that you have to pay for a cooked breakfast but it tasted good.
The room was a good size it was clean and the beds comfortable, enjoyed having air con in our bedroom. unfortunately the bath didn’t drain very well. Overall a good stay but a small tweaks would have made this perfect.

Really lovely pub and location. The rooms are extremely clean and I'm a very picky person regarding this. Lovely surprise was that the rooms have aircon. Only downside and it's not a deal breaker was the rooms are smaller than i anticipated but it's a building that is 280 years old so i should have expected that anyway. The pub is lovely, the locals friendly and the food was good too. Staff also very friendly. Both my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time.

A Great find

Super little historic village, the pub is very old circa 1744 but modern inside. The rooms could put many a 4* hotel to shame they are comfy bright and modern without detracting from the buildings age. The pub is located opposite the village green where most park although there is some onsite parking. The pub is vibrant and busy with local customers. I found the food and choice excellent

The accommodation was lovely. The room was a good size with everything we needed. The en-suite bathroom was also a good size, very clean with an excellent shower. Although we booked our stay several months ago and received emailed confirmation from Hotels.com about our booking, when we arrived to check in there was no record of our reservation, we were really concerned that we would be left without anywhere to stay, but fortunately there was a room available and they kindly agreed to honour the price that we had booked for. All the staff that we encountered were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend it. However, if the booking was through Hotels.com I would be inclined to ring the hotel and confirm direct with them.

The hotel was very nice and the lunch and evening meals were delicious served by very friendly staff. Normally, one would expect a cooked breakfast when bed and breakfast is booked but when we arrived, we read that there was only a continental breakfast and that anything cooked would cost £8.00 each. As it was, the continental breakfast was not very good and I needed to look for staff to replenish the bread and juice. On the other hand we left an item there and when we called, the staff were very happy to send it on.

Good food, good service...uncomfortable bed.

On arrival we were impressed at the bar area, it was such a lovely place and the staff were so pleasant and friendly! The rooms are nice, clean and warm. The food was top notch! On the negative side, we did not find the bed comfortable, it was rather not such a good night's sleep. Our bed was actually two beds put together which was noticeable. The location is close to Leicester and convenient if you have a car as it's only a couple of miles out...but there is nothing to do outside of the hotel in regards to walking through the village with only houses to look at.

Booked a restaurant meal for six which was excellent.
Indoor & outdoor public facilities excellent.
Room 6 appearance, cleanliness & decorative order very good.
Very good tea at breakfast.

Not so good points.
Bed mattress long pass its best, slightest movement and it creaked loudly like old wooden steps, frustrating to be woken up several times in the night (3 night stay).
