Really nice pub in Market Bosworth. Good beers. Directors and Pedigree. Food excellent, good value and tasty. Lovely decor, has had a lot of attention to detail. Didn't stay so can't comment on rooms. New owners are doing a cracking job.

Visited 2 weeks ago this lovely, quaint, quirky, olde worlde, traditional British pub. The most amazing Roast Beef Dinner served with Yorkshire Pudding and lovely thick gravy. Polite and attentive staff that engaged in conversation, not like some establishments. Me and my partner visit this area quite alot and have visited this pub before in the past, but have got to say the current people seem to have made loads of improvements for the better, we will definitely be back.
