Poor

Very unclean. Hairs on the bed stains on the wall. A lot of yellow urine left on toilet seat. A lot of damage in the room. Dents and cracks in door and walls. Stains all over chair fabric and carpet gloor. Very hard to open the one window in the room. Reception smelt strongly of salmon when I checked in and checked out. Beautiful location from the outside. Very close to the race track and east mid airport. Scrambled egg and mushrooms very nice on breakfast buffet. Very friendly male member of staff greeting people for breakfast on Monday morning. Could be helpful to add a light and a sign to make it easier to find your way round at night. Inside is in need of an uplift Definitely not a 4 star hotel.

The whole place could be amazing. Please do the basic maintenance on this lovely building (fixing dripping taps, washing carpets, fixing walls & new curtains wouldnt break the bank). You really feel the wow factor as soon as you drive up to this beautiful place and building. Unfortunately the lack of maintenance of the beautiful buildings and surrounding let the place down (now wow factor when you open the door). The bridge (which has plastic road blocks at the edge) looks like it to could collapse at any minute and the river edge patio is just a blocked off area of bricks. The rooms in the main building look very small and the cottage rooms really do need some TLC & some character. The hotel is very function focussed so reception etc.. is loverly but it is over priced until the rooms are in better condition. The bed was very comfortable but take air plugs if you are staying in the cottage rooms as you can hear every move the neighbours make and hear ever car that drives far to fast you window. Hopefully at some point the repairs will be done and I would then like to go back.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. Amazing location by the river with plenty of parking. That being said, the room I stayed in was in dire need of some TLC — broken/missing switches, rotten wooden window frames, poor sink drainage, even the ironing board was old and tired, with loose fittings that made it wobble during use.

Stayed in garden room which was 'past it's best'. Evening meal disappointing with poor choices and over expensive dishes. Confit chicken with cassoulet had 'one bean' and was poorly balanced. Small glass of wine ordered, large glass served and charged with no explanation. Breakfast was good. Excellent position next to river and ideal for airport or stop when travelling on M1.

always a good stay 9/10

I often stay here when working at Donington Park Circuit. only 5 minutes drive away, and it has a large safe car park. For some strange reason and for the first time I never got a good night's sleep. There was a 40th party going on and the sound carried over to the cottages that i was in across from the garden, apart from that all good.

A small break with our four legged friend

It was okay. Room was a little tired. A matching modern bed roll n cushions does not a better room make. The whole annex was in need of TLC. However, it served its purpose. Was clean n warm enough. When you have a dog you never expect the quality rooms but the extra charges we are faced with in some places warrants at least a fee Breakfast.

The room was a little dated but comfortable. The breakfast and breakfast service was awful! We were not offered hot drinks, had to ask for them then when we did finally get coffee, it was only warm not hot. We had to wait 20 minutes for the self service breakfast items to be replenished, the food was poor quality and very greasy.
