Stayed here for 2 nights for my partners birthday. The hotel is in a lovely spot by the river with a nice area outside to relax in. It's ideally situated between 2 national trust properties, (both of which are well worth a visit). The room itself could do with a bit of TLC, but it was clean and comfortable. Slept really well. Food was decent, self serve buffet breakfast which had quite agood choice. The staff were friendly and there was plenty of parking on site. Had a pleasant stay overall and would definitely stay here again.

I made an error when booking in that I thought cottage was a style of room. However it turned out that we were staying in a row of terraced cottages separate from the main hotel. This was my fault not that of the hotel. However, it was during the heatwave where day temperatures were about 35c. The cottages were in shade all day and were nice and cool compared to the main hotel, so a bit of a result. The access to room 5 was via a front door serving two cottage rooms 5 & 6. This door had a separate Yale type lock but the door would not shut. (Woman Aware).

The hallway leading to the rooms was shabby and needs redecorating. The room decor was good. The en suite was clean and adequate. However the larger person might find the en suite too small.

Our room was not as big as expected from the photos and we were overlooking a flat roof with extractor fans continuously on - not so great when we had to have the windows open in the heat and could not get the ac to work. However an extremely helpful receptionist (Jay) gave us a different room a little bit further away which was a little bit bigger and slightly less noisy (thanks Jay 🙂).
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting by the river.
Evening meal was nice, but I was still hungry as the portion of crushed potato with the bream was miniscule.
Breakfast was good apart from the raw mushrooms (shame, as they were lovely big mushrooms and would have been delicious had they actually been cooked).
The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, we were happy with our stay and would return again.

Location is beautiful. We stayed in a twin room (son and mother) in one of the cottages. The entrance to the cottages are going through some redecoration. A basic comfortable room, clean. The electrics died in the room in the morning, but a quick call to reception sorted it all out. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. Cooked to order. Pastries, cereals, toasts available too. Coffee from an urn, which was fine, could have been hotter. But good value overall.

We dined in the restaurant in the evening, lovely food. There was a shockingly rude couple in the restaurant which made us feel very uncomfortable so we ate as quickly as possible and left, but enjoyed the views and beautiful sunset outside. They clearly hadn't read the menu before hand and were expecting a Brewers Fayre menu!

We would definitely stay again, as was convenient and comfortable for us.

Out of the way riverside hotel with some rooms separate from the main building. We were in one of the separate rooms which had parking outside. Twin beds with a narrow bathroom with shower. One of the beds was very noisy - springs creaking at slightest movement and the floorboards above were extremely noisy so we heard every movement in the room above. Bar and food offering was good but they had run out of steak and burgers on Sunday night - the Sunday roast was a good alternative with a choice of meats. Would stay again as close to Donington Park but you need transport to get to it.

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.

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 property was very clean, amd the surroundings absolutely lovely, even despite the heavy rain of storm Claudia. It's an old, OLD building, so some creaks and age-related setbacks were expected. However it does seem that the maintenance team is slacking somewhat. Mine and my neighbours' toilets had poor drain venting, and would gurgle loudly. A few electrical sockets were loose or broken. The electric radiator seemed to struggle to keep a comfortable temperature on colder nights (0°C), having been placed bizarrely next to the old single-pane windows.
The staff however were top-notch and the hotel was pristinely clean, with quite a solid breakfast option. Parking was quite plentiful, but beware the kerbs and dips in lowered cars.

Overall a nice experience, but maintenance could be better.

A worn out hotel
Arrived 5 minutes after kitchen last orders and advised no food was possible and was given my rooms, having booked main house double rooms i was given 2 single rooms in the annnex building.
Receptionist was completely uninterested blaming hotels.com and no other rings were avaliable and that no refund of the price difference was offered.
The annex rooms were poor at best, badly decorated and very dirty, evidence of damp in the paint marks, a worn out single bed with a mattress clearly passed it's prime. The pictures on the walls one had a smashed glass and the remains were still stuck in the frame.
To top it off in the morning the shower was cold.

An old and very tired hotel - needs an uplift

Where do I start? - I travel a lot on business and stay in a lot of different hotels. I'm a working class man who has simple tastes, so I am NOT a hotel snob. Clean and functional is generally all I'm after. Thos hotel provided neither.
I was moved to a executive room in the main building after being put in a cottage room - see my previous feedback for that one.
The only thing that might have defined this room as an \"Executive\" room was the fact it had a separate chair in there - which was old and uncomfortable.
The room itself was very tired and very dated. The TV was at least 20 years old - hardly any Freeview channels and not a smart TV - really!!!! - In this day and age?
The bed was comfortable I'll give them that, but the paint work was blotchy, the carpet was probably as old as the TV.
The bathroom looked like it had been improved - but the bath leaked and there was water on the floor of the bathroom constantly - there was a smell of stagnant water in the bathroom which seemed to be coming from the toilet. The shower gel was impossible to get out of the little container - I don;t know who designed those.
The Wifi was very intermittent - making it difficult to do FaceTime calls to family.
It's a real pity because the location is very nice.
My view - this is a perfect example of hotel owners who never stay in their own hotel - they'd be horrified if they were to live as a customer in this hotel - or they might not be bothered?
Definitely won't be staying here again

This hotel looks nothing like the pictures on the website. The cottage rooms were frankly appalling. The whole area around them looked like a crack den. very poorly maintained and in an awful condition. furniture was old, bed was awful, condition of room was awful - paintwork hadn't been touched up. The TV was at least 20 years old (no smart TV is just not acceptable for today's travellers.
The room was SO bad, I got the receptionist to move me to a room in the main house. she was great, but the room is still very average at best. This hotel needs a full makeover, probably looks the same as it did 25 years ago. I won't be staying there again

We stayed in the cottages next to the main hotel. Two of the group were in the ground floor units which unfortunately suffered from damp. The musty smell was overpowering at night especially as it was unwise to leave the windows open due to the water flies getting in from the river.
We asked for the two rooms be changed to upper rooms on the second night which was done without question. The rooms generally were clean and the beds comfortable.

Very disappointing.. we were told the cottage's are to be refurbished. Sorry but they are not fit for purpose and should be closed off. This is a lovely location and the property could be very special but not until it is brought up to standards. Other things wrong but could be accepted if the rooms were up to standard.

Overall substandard

We stayed for a wedding, the photos online look amazing. When we arrived I was shocked, the place is run down and in need of some TLC. The public areas, bar, lounge, restaurant was ok, breakfast was ok it was a buffet style, however I only ate the pastries so not sure on the quality.

Other than one night porter I think his name was Jay, who stepped in to help they were all a little slow to respond to anything. With it being a wedding that cost a fair bit of money you would have expected everyone to know what was going on and a bit more forward in helping. There was definitely no special treatment for the bride.
Rooms, main building were ok, spiders everywhere. Some of the taps in the rooms were broken, missing indices, generally in need of replacing. Cottage, rooms were small, loads of spiders, in need of a refresh, one room on the ground floor was covered in mould so they had to move rooms.
Wedding food, they had a change of staff just before so the food was not as expected from the tasting day, it did taste lovely but the presentation wasn’t the best.
Overall substandard, I would not come back to this hotel.

The whole place could be amazing. Please do the basic maintenance on this lovely building (fixing dripping taps, washing carpets, fixing walls & new curtains wouldnt break the bank). You really feel the wow factor as soon as you drive up to this beautiful place and building. Unfortunately the lack of maintenance of the beautiful buildings and surrounding let the place down (now wow factor when you open the door). The bridge (which has plastic road blocks at the edge) looks like it to could collapse at any minute and the river edge patio is just a blocked off area of bricks. The rooms in the main building look very small and the cottage rooms really do need some TLC & some character. The hotel is very function focussed so reception etc.. is loverly but it is over priced until the rooms are in better condition. The bed was very comfortable but take air plugs if you are staying in the cottage rooms as you can hear every move the neighbours make and hear ever car that drives far to fast you window. Hopefully at some point the repairs will be done and I would then like to go back.

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

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.

Very good value for money. Bathroom could do with a refresh but given the price it was perfectly adequate. Staff were helpful and friendly.

always a good stay 9/10

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.

Views of the river Trent and the sound of the river from the cottages was amazing.

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.
