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.

Property itself is in a fantastic location, and main house is very well maintained. The cottages are quite small, could do with a refurb. Tv in room kept losing channels and had to be reset. I'd l say the accomodation is overpriced.

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.

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.

A fun and joyful stay

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. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff team very attentive.

Lovely hotel in a great location - would stay there again. Staff friendly and helpful - there was a wedding party going on at the time of our stay but this didn't detract from the general peacefulness of the hotel.

Such a beautiful setting and it was close to where we needed to be. We stayed in a cottage room and it was so peaceful yet so close to the lovely little walk for the dogs

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.
