    airport noise

    Beautiful old building, Excellent converted stables, Rustic charm

    Room maintenance needs attention!!! The noise from the airport can be quite intrusive, and it seems that the shower water temperature is consistently lukewarm. The lack of clear communication regarding available dining options could be frustrating!!!

    park access

    easy access to parks and charming attractions nearby

    I really enjoyed my stay here with the convenient access to beautiful spots like Melbourne Hall The Gardens just under 3 km away, which was perfect for a leisurely stroll, and the Castle Donington Museum about 4 km distance that offered a delightful glimpse into local history. the hotel's central location made my city explorations truly enjoyable. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the clean and comfortable room that was a cozy retreat after a day of walking around.

    great stay
    enclosed courtyard
    limited food options

    Had an amazing stay with my friends! We enjoyed music and dancing at the bar from 7 pm until midnight. The large enclosed private courtyard was perfect for the kids to play in. The staff were attentive and made our group feel special throughout our visit.

    While most of our stay was great, one experience stood out. The food options were quite limited , especially for someone who needed dietary adjustments.

    rustic decor
    spacious room

    What a fabulous venue for a wedding! The rustic and stylish decor set the perfect mood, and the whole day was well-organized. We stayed two nights in a double room, which was spacious and beautifully decorated. The hog roast in the evening was a hit with everyone!

    great staff but needs better room amenities

    The countryside view from our double room was stunning, creating a peaceful ambience throughout our stay. Staff made us feel welcome and were attentive to our needs, adding to the overall enjoyable experience.

    The room amenities were a bit outdated, which detracted from the comfort.

    helpful staff

    This place was a great match for a holiday in Castle Donington with real value for money. The small well-stocked bar with an open fireplace made for a cozy evening. Make sure to book ahead for meals to avoid disappointment.

    Charming countryside retreat with great breakfast

    My recent stay was delightful, with a lovely and spacious room offering beautiful views of the countryside. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring local ingredients that were delicious and fresh. The staff were accommodating and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. the noise from the nearby airport was slightly distracting at times.

    airport noise

    The location sits right under the airport flight path, resulting in persistent noise that can distract from relaxation. Some room fixtures needed attention. For instance, a few lights flickered and the toilet roll holder was loose. The evening dining experience fell flat with a limited and confusing menu, including odd-tasting dishes. Breakfast, while plentiful, hinted at microwave preparation when sounds from the kitchen suggested rushed service. Lastly, the shower had a peculiar quirk, requiring a long wait for hot water, which might irritate those who prefer immediate warmth.
