After a very disappointing start with a room definitely sub standard in the mews style rooms, we were moved to a lovely room inside the main hotel which was very comfortable. The staff and the food were also really good abd helpful.

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!

Great setting, all staff very pleasant, the Restaurant was rustic and food good, table laid and clean although a little sticky. Room spacious and clean although entrance hall to Cottage area a bit worn. I would definitely visit again.

Clean tidy room, if somewhat out dated furniture, but considering very traditional riverside hotel quite well appointed. Always cold rooms (my 2nd stay), as expected with a listed building, no double glazing. Comfy bed and lovely bathroom & shower. Breakfast very mediocre, food left in water logged chafing dishes without burners. Really helpful staff, lovely warm greeting on arrival at reception. Average to good for a couple of business nights, would I pay the price personally, probably not.

4/10 Fair
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 .

We stayed for one night and was in the cottage rooms, which needs a revamp. The rooms look tired and there was a constant dripping sound! It really didnt feel like a 4 star hotel. On the plus side the staff were very helpful and friendly, we never had food so cant comment on that!
If we stayed again we'd want to stay in the main hotel.

Lovely location. Quiet cottage room. Furniture dated but very clean and everything one would expect : iron, safe and kettle.
Comfy bed.
Entrance to room smelt a little musty but room was warm and no damp.
Tiny shower room- beautiful but would be a squeeze if one is not slim .
