There is a village shop and other amenities including a well respected Ofstead approved primary school which is the third highest rated school in Leicestershire, and is in the top 0.5% of all schools in England and Wales. The area is well-known for its good secondary school, golf courses, tennis clubs and other recreational pastimes. Champney Springs health spa is a short distance away. The Mill is located in one of the most picturesque lanes in the village.
