Hellens Tours

What an absolute gem! I needed somewhere to stay near to Leicester for 1 night & this place looked picturesque & was reasonablly priced but beyond that I had no real expectations but boy did this place exceed them all! As I was arriving a bit later than anticipated I received a call to confirm that an email would be sent to me with check in details & that a key would be left in a safe location for me. The woman I spoke with was really lovely. The lodges were easy to locate & on arrival I was impressed by the secure entry. To my delight I was also greeted by an array of animals- a very chatty turkey, goats, alpacas, a lovely big pig& a white peacock! On entering the lodges I noted a good level of security. I was delighted to find a microwave along with various itmes of cutlerry, crockery and glassware. There were also two Vending machines, one food one drink, in the entryway which although I did not need to use it is always reasurring to know that there is something available should you need it. The room itself was just wonderful. A door straight out onto decking with a stunning view of the water and a family of ducks/ducklings. As I was with my toddler I was delighted to see that the door was able to be double secured and we instead opened the curtains to enjoy the view. The room itself was spacious, clean & comfortable. There were various gadgets in the room which was cool as well as a fridge. Highly recommended, will stay again. Local shop & takeaway great and 2 min drive.

Excellent location for a open day at university will definitely stay again

Lovely, pleasant staff. Well appointed, stylish and comfortable room. Lots of choice on the dinner menu-excellent curries! Delicious, wholesome breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
