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.

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.

Stayed 1 night for wedding, food was amazing at the wedding, the room we stayed in is outdated but was clean and comfortable, the cottage rooms are conveniently located short walk away.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

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.

Stayed for just one night but the staff were SO nice and the room was excellent - quiet, comfy bed etc. Breakfast was good and check in/out quick and easy. Very highly recommended.
Phil, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Gabriele, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Historically very interesting hotel, friendly staff, good food. My only criticism is that the cottage we stayed in definitely needed some love!
Geoff, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Just not up to standard - poor

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

Lovely stay, cottage room was outstanding as was the setting and main hotel. Nice beer in the bar and superb breakfast
Matthew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. Amazing location by the river with plenty of parking. That being said, the room I stayed in was in dire need of some TLC — broken/missing switches, rotten wooden window frames, poor sink drainage, even the ironing board was old and tired, with loose fittings that made it wobble during use.

Very good value for money. Bathroom could do with a refresh but given the price it was perfectly adequate. Staff were helpful and friendly.
PAUL, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
