Thinking of extending your stay?
For an out of this world experience, be sure to pop in to the National Space Centre, which is only a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Featuring the UK’s largest planetarium, and not to mention the iconic 42m high Rocket Tower, it is no surprise that it is an the award-winning day out and fun for visitors of all ages!
Looking for something a little less futuristic? Make your way out from Leicester and immerse yourself in the history rich surroundings, including Bosworth Battlefield and Kirby Muxloe Castle. Revisit the late middle ages with the impressive moated remains of the castle built for Lord Hastings, or discover the horrors of medieval warfare and how the Battle of Bosworth unfolded through fascinating and interactive exhibits.
A firm favourite day out is always the Twycross Zoo. From big cats to monkeys, apes and birds, with over 500 animals of 125 species, including some of the rarest species on the planet you are sure to be mesmerised by their splendour. It is also the only place in the UK home to the four great apes (chimpanzee, orangutan, gorilla and bonobo, if you didn't already know).
