Bugs everywhere!
I checked in the room about 7:30pm and found 2 beetle-like bugs. One on the floor and one on the bed. Being in the country I didn?t think much of it, popped them out the window.
Went to the restaurant and had dinner.
Got back to the room around 9pm, did some reading/ work and watched some tv, found another in the bathroom and a couple by the window, so decided to close the window as it was backing onto a field so though maybe they were coming from the crops in there.
Approx. 11:30 I turned the light off to go to sleep, shortly after I could hear an occasional tapping sound and scuttling noise. After a short while I worked out there were bugs coming out of the joists in the ceiling, falling and hitting the tiled floor and this was the noise.
Over the next 30 mins or so this kept happening and every time I turned the light on there were anywhere between 3 and 7 visible on the floor, I took quite a few photos as couldn?t believe how many I was seeing, they were in the room and in the bathroom.
I determined they were coming out of the gaps between the skirting boards, roof joists and the holes where the radiator pipes go into the ground.
I factor I saw at least 40 ? 50 of the bugs during this time.
I didn?t complain as it was too late and nobody to complain to, I also left at approx. 7am on the Sunday and got home late Sunday night.
I emailed the hotel first thing Monday morning and got no reply.
Monday morning, I found a small bite by my right nipple, didn?t think much of it, until Monday afternoon I had a very large red and sore area and massively swollen chest.
Spoke to a Dr on the phone Tuesday morning who asked me to come in to inspect, she was very concerned at the size, heat and redness of the swelling, especially being so close to my armpit, and prescribed me penicillin, I asked what it was, and they said almost definitely from an insect bite (she had no knowledge of the above).
I phone the hotel Tuesday afternoon and spoke with a manager who said they checked the room, and it seemed fine, however after seeing my photos eventually agreed to give me a refund.
I feel like is should not need to have penicillin for an infection from staying in a hotel in Leicester! Not to mention the pain and discomfort that came with it.
Since the owner has emailed and asked me for the photos and that?s all the contact I have had from them, no apology, no acceptance of fault, so my concern is nothing has been done to remedy the problem and it?s still happening.

This is a great Inn with good food and real ale, I found the steak was especially good. It's also really convenient for the Mallory Park motor racing circuit. The room was comfortable and the full English breakfast was also very good.

Very nice

We had room 8, with 4 poster bed. It was lovely. It was slightly cold, but it was such a hot day, so it wasn't an issue. Might be in the winter. There was a radiator on there, so could be easily resolved.
Breakfast was £14.95, a bit expensive, but it was lovely. Beautifully presented and not too much on the plate. Really enjoyed it.
Not alot to do there, but it was pleasant to walk through the village. Close to Market Bosworth and Mallory Park..only 15 minutes from Hinkley if you needed a town centre but shops not particular exciting.
Overall, it was a very nice stay. Would recommend.

Lovely meal and room. Also nice walks in the surrounding countryside directly from the car park.

I have always loved the Royal Arms, because of its location, traditional inn vibe & hospitality, but, this week, I felt compelled to leave a positive review to let people know that they also went above & beyond to accommodate our walking group - no easy task when we all arrive in large numbers at the end of a walk. They managed to serve us with lunch & drinks in a friendly & timely manner, making us feel very welcome. Thank you so much to Anoop - believe me those extra customer service touches don't go unnoticed & are really appreciated.

Very disappointed today when taking our best friends for Sunday lunch.. Service very poor.... Eventually I went to order drinks as no staff approached us.. It was cold & dark where we were seated... Eventually got service... Meal.. Mediocre..... We eat out a lot.. Will not be returning

Just enjoyed a 10/10 steak for under £20 here. Have paid double that for far worse steaks in many a chain hotel. Well worth travelling a little bit further and staying at an independent hotel for food like this. Thank you!

Did not stay so cannot comment on the rooms. Food was terrible.

We came for a Christmas meal, a large group of 15+. Food was ok. Service was prompt especially for a large group.
Giving 3 stars as we paid for our drinks at the bar and then were charged for drinks again at the end of the meal. I couldn?t get signal in the bar to prove we had paid this already, and they were adamant we hadn?t paid so I assumed my error. I then got home and checked my bank and then realised I?d been ripped off.

Wonderful champagne breakfast with a big group. Excellent food, excellent service, which is hard to manage for 40-odd people
