Overall I really liked this hotel. Clean, comfortable and lovely staff. Very good price and dog friendly. Food was served until a good time and reasonably priced. My main issue comes from lack of sensible plug points in the bedrooms. None around the beds in the room we had. No big deal of there are useable points elsewhere but they were above the table which was not moveable in order to create enough space for a plug which feeds downwards as do most phone chargers and plugs in general. There is 1 usb port but it seemed slow. It was a bit of a hassle trying to work off lap top and also charge a mobile phone at the same time, unable to sit comfortably on the bed to do so. Also an extra bedside table for the twin room wouldnt go amis. Otherwise a really pleasant stay.

Great place to stay

Warm welcome on arrival, knowledge, and friendly. The room was clean with a comfy bed. The food was delicious, and freshly cooked. We stayed there as a base for Donington Park race circuit which was just a 20 minute ride away. Would definitely stay here again ☆☆☆☆☆

We enjoyed our stay here.

Our stay here was good. The staff are really lovely especially Lisa who checked us in. The free parking was good and plenty of spaces.The room was adequate and had everything we needed. The towels were lovely and big! The shower power was great and the hairdryer was a good one not a cheap one. The restaurant and bar area were inviting and the food was lovely. We had breakfast aswell which was good. We did hear dogs barking late at night and early in the morning, apart from that we enjoyed our stay here.
