Luxury Lodges in Leicestershire, England

Leicestershire in England’s East Midlands is a beautiful county with plenty to explore, from bustling market towns and historic sites to rolling countryside and lush forest. Rent a traditional manor house in Leicestershire and be transported to a world of luxury, charm and class.

This pretty pocket of the UK is home to a multitude of vibrant villages, towns and cities: Barrow upon Soar is known for its riverbank lined with colourful houseboats; the university town of Loughborough has several museums as well as the start of the UK’s last mainline heritage railway; Melton Mowbray is a must for foodies with its famous pork pies and stilton cheese, and a plethora of traditional English pubs; and Market Harborough is home to the 14th century St. Dionysius Parish Church known for its 160-foot spire and beautiful architecture and design.

Leicester, the county’s capital, seamlessly blends the old and the new. It is home to beautiful ancient ruins, such as the Jewry Wall and its 800-year-old marketplace, alongside modern establishments like restaurants, live music venues, and top-notch museums like the National Space Centre.

With a history spanning over 2000 years, Leicestershire is a living testament to the past. A stay in one of Leicestershire’s luxury lodges will put you on the doorstep of the castles of Ashby de la Zouch, Rockingham and Elvaston, the Iron Age hill forts of Breedon and Burrough Hills, and the excavated Roman town of Ratae in the heart of Leicester. Leicester is also the final resting place of King Richard III, whose remains were famously discovered in a car park in 2012 and are now interred in Leicester Cathedral.

Lovers of the outdoors will find plenty of unspoiled countryside to explore. The National Forest covers 200 square miles of the Midlands and includes the ancient forest of Charnwood. The area is known for woodland walking, cycling, rock climbing, and hiking.

The region also has over 70 miles of waterways ideal for fishing, kayaking, rowing, and sailing. The county is also home to Rutland Water, one of Europe’s largest artificial lakes, with a nature reserve and a bird-watching centre.

A manor house or luxury lodge in Leicestershire is the perfect choice for a memorable stay in the English countryside, filled with classic British charm and opulence.
