Receptionist was most unhelpful to the point of being rude. My party needed to book a taxi to the airport and she insisted we would need a 7 seater for 3 people with only hand luggage. She also overcharged for the agreed room rate

The location was prefect, parking available lovely view of the river. Meet and greeted by a friendly lady. Room is nice considering the building is old, I was at the back and the ventilation system was on so I couldn’t open the window, air conditioning wasn’t working. Lots of noise from people coming in and out, which disturbed my sleep.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with ample parking. The cottages exterior and communal areas could do with some updating. The shower room has been updated and the amenities in the room with tea and coffee making facilties. The choice at the buffet breakfast was ample with a very wide variety of hot and cold items. Check in and out was very efficient. The bed was slightly on the soft side for my weak back.

What a great hotel! I booked because of its proximity to Donington Park race circuit and didn't really look at the details. The location is remarkable. Picturesque, next to a river, at the end of a pretty country lane. The room was large, well appointed and clean. It was a hot day but a fan was provided in the room. The pillows are particularly good, as is the shower. Staff were welcoming and food and drink was tasty and reasonably priced. The place has character, free parking too.

Had to book hotel near east mids airport after late arrival back in UK. Booking online was easy and hotel exceeded expectations. It was also an easy drive from airport. Likely to use again if we have early or late flights out or back

Overall very good. Our flight was delayed which made it we wereonly just in time for dinner and the restaurant manager refused to accept cash. We consider this well out of order seeing as he had cash all around the till.

A lovely building in a beautiful and (relatively) quiet location. We had a room in the cottage block which we thought would be quieter. Due to my wife being a very light sleeper we always have twin rooms, but as there wasn't one available I opted for the z-bed. even with a mattress topper (we always travel with one) and me lying on top of the duvet I could feel the springs of the mattress as well as the steel frame of the z-bed!! Not good. The room itself was in need of some tlc too. that being said, the location is fab, the meal we had from the bar was excellent and the service was very friendly and helpful, all of which compensated for the poor night's sleep (to some extent anyway) The location is brilliant for anything East Midlands focussed
