Excellent hospitality and rooms. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room to stretch out and play cards in the drawing room. Breakfast was delicious and really enjoyed our walk in the gardens. Appreciated how close it was to the park and certainly enjoyed the deer. Thanks again!

Hands down one of the most memorable stays for us - ever. The owners, Linda and Tim, were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. They made sure everyone was well taken care of. The BnB has a unique charm to it and the rooms were very very lovely. The cottage is located next to the Bradgate park, a wonderful place to take a stroll. The cottage also has a cute garden attached to it - amazing place to have a meal. If you’re looking for a city getaway or am visiting the area, I would highly, highly recommend staying here. Our only regret is only spending one night here!

My son and his partner were staying here, the hosts, Linda & Tim invited us in to have breakfast as a family at no extra charge. The venue is amazing, the hosts were fantastic, the breakfast was delicious and the position of the venue was incredible, very close to the Cropston entrance to Bradgate Park. If you need a place to stay in the area you could not do better than here.

This is hands down the best B&B I have ever stayed in, we had a very warm welcome upon arrival with tea and coffee and the offer of hot cross buns. The property is not only in beautiful surroundings, walking distance from Bradgate Park and Swithland Woods, it is exactly as you would expect from a country house with the decor. Our hosts Linda and Tim were very attentive and have excellent knowledge of the surrounding area, giving recommendations for local pubs/restaurants for dinner. The room was amazing with a comfy bed and a lovely shower that was very much needed after a day travelling. The Full English Breakfast had many locally sourced ingredients that all tasted great, coupled with the friendly, relaxed atmosphere made us feel like we had gone to visit rather than been paying customers. Tim and Linda are brilliant hosts and we would definitely look to stay at Horseshoe Cottage Farm on our next visit to Leicester.

Absolutely stunning! We were made to feel incredibly welcome, and our amazing hosts could not have done any more for us if they tried!!! They took incredible precautions against Covid; there was plenty of space to social distance and they were wearing masks throughout every interaction, as well as providing plenty of hand and surface sanitising stations. We were also incredibly impressed with the sustainability within the venue, with as many Eco friendly strategies as they could provide. Everything provided was either made in Linda's own garden, or sourced from businesses locally, and it made such a difference. The B&B was clean, homely and in an amazing location, and we cannot wait to visit again!!!!

The welcome from Tim and Linda was as warm as the log fire, where we very much enjoyed tea and home-made cake on arrival. This is everything a B&B should be. Cosy, comfy rooms and delicious Aga-cooked breakfasts, often with home-grown ingredients (Linda keeps hens, bees and an impressive cottage garden). The location is perfect - right across the road from stunning Bradgate Park. Tranquil Cropston Reservoir's up the road, too. Ideal for walkers and slobbers alike, this isn't just a pit-stop en route - it's a destination. Can't wait to go back!
