Pet friendly and excellent accommodation.

We stayed in one of the cottages with our 2 dogs. These cottages are ideal if you have pets. This is our 2nd stay this year and will not be the last. The only downside is that the parking is a bit away from the cottages. There is 2 parking places for many cottages. We have a blue badge but can't be used. It is a fair walk with the luggage our dogs and their pet beds. But the room is very good and ideal for pets. The shower is probably the most powerful shower i have ever used.

Place to stay near the arboretum

It is a lovely place to stay the hotel part is in a beautiful setting right on the river Trent the only thing that lets it down is the outside of the cottages accommodation. It is the need of some tlc paint work wood work needs looking at. The inside of the cottages are fine beds are comfy shower is good. Food in the hotel is good, breakfasts are very good help yourself. All said I would stay again.

Lovely hotel venue and grounds. Have stayed previously and room was excellent. Unfortunately this time was in one of cottage rooms which felt very dated and was in need of some attention.

Spent two nights as a couple with a small dog. Totally relaxing break on the banks of the River Trent. Stayed in one of the adjacent cottages (no 14). Excellent. Only niggles were that although the bathroom had been recently refurbished, the extractor fan was not working and there was nowhere to hang a towel. Bathroom had the best shower I have ever used. Talk about a whoosh! We ate both nights in the restaurant. It had a limited menu, but the food was good. Food and drinks reasonably priced. Staff were excellent. Friendly, polite and attentive. We would return.

Stayed 1 night for wedding, food was amazing at the wedding, the room we stayed in is outdated but was clean and comfortable, the cottage rooms are conveniently located short walk away. The staff were amazing and very helpful, even helped me look for my wife’s phone when she misplaced it overall really pleased with our overnight stay

Needs a little love.

Beautiful location, I could’ve sat outside the bar all day. The room looked a bit tired. Chipped furniture, hole in the plaster under the tv. The shower screen hung over the outside of the bath. Limited menu in the restaurant. I remember the priest house being very elegant. It’s now ok.

Beautiful place.

Second stay for us, stayed last year for the Donnington historic festival. Hotel grounds are beautiful. Room was in the “cottage” which was clean and a good shower. Hotel was hosting a wedding so it was a bit noisy into the small hours. Disappointed that breakfast didn’t start until just after 8 with many people waiting and we had to rush to get to our event.
