Looking for somewhere to stay on the cheap(ish) in Loughborough, I scanned a few travel sites and…read morecame across Ramada. For about £50 per night, it's a pretty decent value. You could get cheaper just down the road at Travelodge, but a few mates of mine stayed there and said it was quite noisy at night and they were woken up...not me, in my surprisingly comfy bed at Ramada. It isn't that impressive from the front, and the views aren't anything to shout about, but what would you expect from a small town like Loughborough anyways? The staff were very friendly and receptive. My wake-up call seemed to vary a few minutes here and there depending on the morning, but it wasn't a big issue. They also offer breakfast if you want to pay a bit extra for it, but if not there are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite of eat for just a couple quid. Located right in the middle of the city, I was able to walk everywhere from Ramada. I was at a conference at the far end of the uni, so that was about a 2-mile trek, but that's not so bad. If you're more of a bus person, the hotel is just next to the bus stop as well. It's kept clean and tidy. You can tell the construction is a bit of an older-style, due to the plethora of stairs scattered randomly throughout the building (I walked up and down 4 or 5 small sets of stairs to get to my room), but if it's really that much of an inconvenience for you I'm sure you could request an easily accessible room. Doesn't take that much effort, though. I don't know if I'll ever be returning to Loughborough, but if need takes me back I know I'll be staying at the Ramada.

There is accomadation available here in the main hotel and you can also rent a tradiional cottage here too. It is pricey but offers do come up from time to time. It is also a good spot to call in and have a drnk/ something to eat in the afternoon or evening. Summer months see lots of weddings at the week ends so if you are looking for accomadation- book early! Well worth a visit and located near the quaint village of Castle Donnington where you will find a healthy helping of traditional but tastefull English pubs!

Conveniently located just off the M1, junction 21, and a stones throw from Loughborough university…read more The hotel offers a good amount of parking space and has a harvester next, in case the hotel food doesn't do it for you. The rooms are of a reasonable standard, I believe that the hotel has had a recent make over. As we were there in a large group the food was cooked to a menu of our design. This means the food was very good. The kitchen staff were always willing to meet whatever changes we made to the menu and the food was always plentiful and hot. None of that tepid food you often experience with hotel buffets. The bar was open as long as you were in it, although after 11pm they would only serve you if you were a resident of the hotel as there was no cash payments accepted after this time. In the age we live in wifi is a necessity and the wifi, free wifi, provided was super fast. This hotel has established itself to cater for the business traveller as opposed to the holiday maker. If you are Loughborough way on business and need a reasonably priced hotel just off the M1 this is a very good option.

Please do not deal with this hotel OR the Talash Hotels brand. They lie and are dishonourable. My…read morehusband and I had a very rare night away together and the photo of the deluxe king room at the Quorn Country Hotel looked lovely on booking.com so I booked the room for the 22nd February and chose to pay upon arrival. Once I had paid we were directed to our room and were bitterly disappointed to see that the room was grossly misrepresented on the website. There were no curtains, no seating area, no hot drink making facilities, the window sills were filthy, flaked paint from the ceiling on the carpet, the pillows were so overused they were flat, the shower curtain was stained brown around the bottom and the shower hooks were rusty. The toilet was virtually impossible to flush. The list goes on. Not only was the room nowhere near worth £100, it shouldn't even be available for a paying guest. We took our cases down to reception and very calmly and politely informed the staff that we couldn't stay in a room of that standard. The gentleman on reception apologised several times and informed us that he would start the refund process and it could take up to 7 days. So 3 months later after chasing the hotel, booking.com and Talash Hotels (who apparantly own the Quorn Country Hotel) we still have no refund. Talash Hotels totally ignore any communication from us AND the hotel and booking.com don't want to know. So now we are starting legal proceedings to obtain the refund that we were told on several occasions by the hotel (by emails and verbally) that we would be receiving. All they had to do was the right thing and just give us our money back. I can only give the worst review of this hotel and the dishonest people who own it and warn potential customers to go further down the road and book into the Quorn Grange Hotel instead, which is what we had to do. Funnily enough the staff there seemed to already know how below standard the Quorn Country Hotel is.

The grounds around the hotel are superb with very posh gardens and a lake at the bottom of them. They hold many functions such as wedding receptions for which I have been to 2. The quality of these functions are superb and highly recommended to all. The drinks are expensive as you would expect but it has a big car park out the back and the rooms are very posh inside.
