Some food under cooked, especially the broccoli making the green vegetables  inedible. One dish that two of us had was advertised with sauté potatoes but came with plain boiled new potatoes. The portions were small.  Simply not worth the money.

Food disappointing

Right, firstly, this is a good hotel but it is not without it's quirks!
I found it to be well priced and overall, I'd say it is value for money, far better that an run of the mill Travelodge or similar.
It is well located, ideal for Loughborough Uni and surrounding areas and benefits from good parking. The hotel has good facilities, it would be a great place to stay in summer with lovely outdoor spaces and a real community feel.
The bar area is well stocked and reasonably priced and the staff are really helpful. It has a good atmosphere even when relatively few people are in and the restaurant is very good with an excellent menu at good prices.
On the flip of this, the rooms seem a little confused in their décor. We stayed in the Dalai room and whist comfortable, nothing really fits properly! If you are any taller than Warwick Davies, you'll need to mind your head from the ceiling ornaments when making a cup of tea. The bed is very grand but it is a standard double and if you are tall you will spend a lot of the night playing footsy with the frame. The pillows are good but the choice of bedding is a little interesting as I'm not sure it is the easiest to keep clean!!  With all of the grand décor, there is also a mix of basic wardrobe and tables that don't really mix and the TV is small but well located in the room. The entire room would benefit from a thorough dusting and maybe a little re-think on what goes where.
The shower was excellent and the towels were more than ample.
Breakfast - Wow!! This is where it gets interesting! We were asked if we would like a croissant with breakfast as Chef needs to know how many to cook. Promising stuff I thought, freshly baked croissant in the morning sounds good to me!! I can confirm that the croissants had never seen the hand of a chef at any point, they tasted like they had been defrosted and were warm on top and cold on the bottom. However, the toast, of which we ordered brown, was indeed worse!! The cheapest of bread, poorly toasted was served up along with a selection of jam and marmalade. The cereal options were limited and the heavily bruised bananas would have been ideal if you were making a banana loaf. 
I wasn't overly impressed and then I saw the couple next to me receive their croissants and suddenly I felt blessed. They arrived looking like they had been pre-cremated, black as coal and shards of scorched pastry being propelled like shrapnel into the air as the couple attempted to break into them. They smothered the charred remains with jam but the squint in their eye suggested that this was not the start to their day they had planned.
The coffee was ok though so I took solace in that and headed off into the misty morning.
Considering how brilliant the evening meal was, the breakfast was so bad that it was actually a source of amusement. The staff were thoroughly lovely but honestly, warming a croissant can't be the biggest challenge of the day.

I'm sure we will be back as overall it's a great little place but I think I'll probably swerve the breakfast!!

Good hotel with a few quirks

We decided to give the Hunting Lodge another try as it is now under new ownership and we had heard good reviews recently. We were a party of 6 and we booked for a midweek lunchtime, the restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived. It has had something of a makeover and appeared much cleaner and tidier than on previous visits. The food was served hot and it was very good and the portions were generous. I would particularly recommend the pie of the day which was pork, chicken and stuffing. everyone was very happy with their chosen desserts too. All in all,  a very enjoyable lunch in comfortable surroundings. everyone was well satisfied and we will certainly be returning in the future

Vast Improvement on previous visits

Arrived after quite a walk all hot and bothered the staff were so friendly we asked if it was cool in the dining room they showed us to a table near the open door with a lovely draft, very friendly and attentive food came within 10 minutes even though it was busy food was delicious and hot, steak was cooked perfectly very tasty sauces as well would definitely come again and recommend. 

Friendly staff & delicious food 

Friendly welcome, upgraded to a bigger room.  All staff were very friendly, and our room was in keeping with the age and character of the building. Big fluffy towels, molten brown shower gel and a very comfortable bed. The bed did squeak as we moved, the only downside to the room.  Loved the location, great value, and we would definitely stay here again.

All round very good. Highly recommend to anyone.

On arrival received a warm welcome and checked in swiftly.  The bar restaurant area was very inviting and the décor appealing.  Very much reflecting the hotel name.The accommodation itself was tired looking, outdated and in dire need of some TLC.  One hopes that this is in the pipeline as it does affect the overall appeal of The Lodge.  The room was however clean and warm.All the staff were incredibly friendly and worked well together as a team.  They seemed genuinely happy in their work and offered a high level of service. There is an extensive menu with an interest variety of choices to be had. Food was well cooked and tasty and the breakfast was definitely worth the nominal additional cost.Overall in was a nice stay and would visit again. Many thanks to the management & staff

Given a warm welcome

Staff extremely friendly.  The continental breakfast was amazing & good choice.

Couple staying for family birthday

Decor is very tired and didn't feel particularly clean (very large cobweb at eye level behind door into bathroom). But very warm welcome and accomodated my early departure at 6.30am with a substantial breakfast tray outside door. Felt overpriced at £90 for a twin room for a single traveller considering the decor.

Quick stay

I travel a lot for business and pleasure 
Neve came across such a horrible place in all my year traveling. 
Rooms was dirty we windows full of cobwebs
Bed didn't look great so slept in my tee shirt 
Next morning the back of my tee shirt was full of yellow stains. 
Bar/ restaurant food reheats and to charge piece are outrageous 
Biggest problem was the breakfast. 
The booking includes free breakfast. Doesn't state that this is a continental breakfast. 
No option no for a hot breakfast. 
Not a great selection of hotels in Loughborough I have tried a few this is definitely the worst.
