Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa Sketchley Lane Burbage Hinckley
Okay, the history is cool. But what’s it like now?

It’s a proper escape. The spa has a hydrotherapy pool. It has a steam room. It has that smell—you know, the one that makes you instantly relax.
The hotel rooms are a delightful mix. Some are very modern. Others are super old-school, with creaky floors and giant windows.
My advice? Demand a room in the old part. You want creaky floors. You want to feel like a Victorian aristocrat for a night.
The Food Is No Joke
Here’s a quirky fact: their restaurant used to be a panic room. No, really. During WWII, the owners hid in there.
Now, it’s where they serve afternoon tea. So you can eat tiny sandwiches where someone once hid from air raids. Bon appétit!
The chef is a bit of a show-off. He uses local ingredients and makes you feel guilty for ordering chips. But the desserts are dangerous. Try the sticky toffee pudding. You’ll thank me later.
