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.

Priests House by River Trent.

Service was excellent. The location and ambiance were fantastic. A good breakfast set us up for the drive home. The only downside was the extremely restricted festive dinner menu, with no option of the normal bar snacks. But we'll be back.

Beautiful location but poor hotel

Tired and dated. Had to move rooms due to a terrible whirring noise from an outside unit on the first night (room 42). No bottled water in the rooms, 2 plug sockets that worked, hairdryer old and useless (not pat tested since 2020). Food average. On checkout there were charges for meals and drinks that were not ours. Had asked for pay at property but when we went to check out they said they said they had already taken payment from my card.

We stayed for one night and found the hotel to offer good value for the price we paid. Its location was very convenient for the Donington Park race circuit, which was a key factor for us. The restaurant was still open when we arrived late in the evening, with friendly service and reasonable pricing, though the menu options were somewhat limited. The accommodation, especially in the area away from the main house, could benefit from a refresh, but for a short stay at the price we paid, it met our needs. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we would consider staying again if the price remains competitive.

Beautiful place to stay

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Looks like they're working on refurbishment/modernisation, which it does need in places. No central heating, only an electrical heater which didn't work very well. Luckily not a cold weekend when we stayed. Lovely breakfast, very tasty sausages, could do with more choice or bread or some croissants. Very nice and friendly staff, super helpful!

The noise from the heating system was a problem, the banging in the pipes would have made it impossible to sleep in the first room we were given. After getting a different room two doors down it was tolerable. Nice food in the brasserie, but they should invest in some proper brandyglasses in the bar!
