Stayed for just one night but the staff were SO nice and the room was excellent - quiet, comfy bed etc. Breakfast was good and check in/out quick and easy. Very highly recommended.

Historically very interesting hotel, friendly staff, good food. My only criticism is that the cottage we stayed in definitely needed some love!

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.

While the Cottage rooms would benefit from a refresh, i have had an excellent sleep and freshly cooked breakfast.

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.

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.

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.
