Really nice looking property with easy parking. Food was excellent and location was out of the way quiet but still easy to get to. Some negatives was that the matteress was old and soft so you rolled toward the center and one of the receptionists had limited people skills. No conversation loke 'good morning, how was your stay.... anything and one of the advertised benefits of that roaring fire was not kept alight so any though of having a drink after dinner infront of it ..you can forget. Consideringvwe were there when it was snowing what a missed opportunity. Rest of the team were good. Would i go back.... no, i dont think so as the beds so bad, foods pricy ( but amazing) and the lounge a bit unwelcoming without that roaring fire.

The hotel is in a lovely setting and has the potential to be great but the shower hose spurted water everywhere and it was impossible to turn the bath taps so had to fill the bath with the spurting shower. The decoration in the room was tired. It needs investment to get it up to scratch. On a plus point, the room was very clean, the food was very good, the restaurant very nice and the staff were lovely.

Nice hotel near Castle Donnington. Accommodation in cottage was ok but in need of updating. This is second time I’ve stayed here. Biggest issue on both occasions is noise in early hours. Must be airport runs. People talking at high volume between 3-4am with no regard to others. Suggest the hotel puts a sign up to ask people to respect others by being quiet after 11pm!

The room was very damp, there was paint missing off the walls, the windows always had condensation on them, there was paint missing off the door, and the cabinets were dated and worn. Small tv, only towels and refreshments for 1 person, which were not topped up during our stay. The lager in the bar was also flat .
