BRUSH has been working with Derek and Lez at the Holywell Guest House for several years now.

We choose to work with Derek and Lez, not only because of the exceptionally high standard of hospitality and welcome that they provide, but also the fact that they go above and beyond upon the guests’ arrival in the country.

As such, our new starters have all become firm friends with Derek and Lez, who always offer continued support, even when the families have moved into their own accommodation.

I cannot recommend the Holywell Guest House too highly – the level of care guests receive is outstanding.

Kind regards,

Barbara

Fabulous!

Always a pleasure to stay here. It’s full of interesting antiques and examples of different clocks. The breakfast is amazing and cooked to order. I won’t stay anywhere else when I come to Loughborough

Interesting building inside and outside with eclectic and intriguing decor. Well situated, overlooking a park and 3 to 4 minutes walk from town centre, with on site parking. A comfortable stay with good disabled acceess to bathroom from our room. Made to feel welcome. Excellent breakfast beautifully served. Would look no further if visiting the area again and wanting somewhere to stay

Exceptional

We stayed just one night prior to our son’s induction day at the university. We had lots of luggage therefore and the owners could not have been more friendly and helpful in accommodating us and giving useful advice. The house is beautiful and homely and full of original and interesting features. The breakfast is served in a lovely dining room and the choice and high quality caters for every need.

This is a fantastic Bed and Breakfast full of character and spotlessly clean. The Breakfast room is very grand and the breakfast was delicious.The rooms are not ensuite and this is made clear on booking,but the bathroom facilities are just a short trip across the hallway, and each room is allocated it’s own bathroom, so no sharing required. The town centre of Loughborough is only a ten minute walk away. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Superb B&B

This place is an old vicarage with easy parking and a lovely building. Derek, the host, was very professional and gave me a warm welcome – even greeting me by name (I was probably last to arrive, but it’s these little touches that make a place). Breakfast was superb, bed comfy – nothing not to like here

Wonderful stay for a family reunion

We stayed in 3 rooms, all with their own unique character. Everything was very clean and the beds were all very comfortable! We all had a great nights sleep! Derek & Lez were perfect hosts and they couldn’t do enough for us! We all enjoyed our breakfast in the morning with a great selection to choose from! We have all decided that we will be returning to Holywell House! Fantastic hosts with a wonderful stay!

☺ Liked · Ein wundervolles B&B mit hübsch eingerichteten Zimmern. Alles ist sehr liebevoll dekoriert und eingerichtet sodass man sich rundum wohl fühlt. Nicht zuletzt durch die überaus netten Gastgeber Derek und Lez. Das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen und wurde in einem wunderschönen Esszimmer von Derek serviert. Alles ist sauber und sehr gepflegt. Auf dem Hinterhof bestehen Parkmöglichkeiten für das Auto. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

Would visit again

Stayed for one night end of August 2024. Google maps took me straight to the car park entrance to the side/rear of the hotel. Plenty of parking, but a bit tight to get into the car park. Wonderfully warm welcome and showed to my room (8). Very comfortable bed but often a little noisy from what I think was the pub to the side. Good night sleep followed by a very tasty breakfast. I normally stay in hotels, but will be happy to stay here again.

What a gem of a place

A lovely guesthouse. We were greeted by Derek and shown to our room. We had the accessible room on the ground floor. It faced the main road but it was so quiet at night, so we had a peaceful night’s sleep.
The breakfast cooked by Lez was one of the best we have had at a guesthouse. Everywhere was clean and nicely decorated. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area again.
