The restaurant and food was faultless. But unfortunately the cottage we were allocated had a smell of damp and mould. We were given another,slightly less smelly room, but still in the Cottages, This had flies on the curtain and windowsill plus the window frame was rotten and no way to open and securing the window open. 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. Really disappointed with our stay..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
