Hotels in Medbourne

Market Harborough, just five miles from Medbourne, is the best base for exploring this corner of the Welland valley, with a range of hotels, guest houses and inns to suit most budgets. Its position on the Midland Main Line also makes it a convenient choice if you are travelling from London or Leicester without a car, with regular direct trains to St Pancras. Within the town you will find everything from budget chain hotels to independent guest houses in Georgian townhouses, many within easy walking distance of Harborough's handsome market square and its cluster of independent shops and cafés.

Closer to Medbourne itself, accommodation is scarcer but more distinctive. The Nevill Arms in the village centre offers rooms above its historic coaching inn, putting you within a few minutes' walk of the church, the brook and the surrounding footpaths, and saving you a return drive after dinner. A scatter of bed and breakfasts and self-catering cottages can also be found in the neighbouring villages of the Welland valley and the Leicestershire and Rutland border country, ideal for visitors who want a quieter rural setting within easy reach of Rutland Water, Uppingham and Market Harborough. Whichever base you choose, the surrounding countryside of gentle hills, hedgerows and stone villages makes for excellent short breaks built around walking, quiet pub lunches and slow exploration rather than a packed itinerary.
