4- and 5-star hotels in Loughborough
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels and apartments in Loughborough, England, for couples, families, business travellers and anyone planning a short break in the East Midlands.
Staying in Loughborough
Loughborough is a market town in the East Midlands with a long-standing university at its heart and the green edge of Charnwood Forest on its doorstep. Visitors come for the university, for sporting events and facilities, and for a base that puts Leicestershire's countryside, market towns and heritage within easy reach by road. The town itself mixes a busy centre with quieter residential streets and villages such as Quorn and Swithland just outside it.
These hotels are spread across the town and its edge. Holywell Guest House and the two apartments, Large Ground Floor Pet Friendly 2 Bedroom Apartment and Jason Works, sit within about 1.6 km of the centre. Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel and Burleigh Court Hotel and Leisure are on the university campus and grounds. Quorn Country Hotel and The Manor House at Quorn are out at Quorn, with The Royal Oak Inn, The Hunting Lodge and Keepers Lodge further out again. That range suits short-break visitors who want to walk into town, business travellers who need the campus, and families or couples who prefer space, gardens or a village setting.
