The Bullshead is often praised for its spacious and quiet rooms situated just steps away from a lovely pub, making it easy to enjoy an excellent evening meal and a pint. Guests frequently highlight the generous portions and good quality food. The location is convenient for those needing access to Leicester Airport.

attentive stafffriendly managerdelicious dinnerseparate breakfast
Staff was attentive and friendly . Management welcomed me from arrival. I enjoyed chatting with locals at a birthday party held in the restaurant. Dinner on premises was also delicious.
Breakfast was not included in my rate. I did have to order this separately. This was inconvenient, as I prefer breakfast included.
