We booked a 2 night stay here to celebrate my wife's birthday , we wanted a relaxing weekend and the white horse seemed to offer what we were looking for . Right from check-in i realised we had definitely picked the right place . We received a warm and friendly welcome and were shown to our room . We picked a junior suit and there was nothing junior about it. We found it big , bright and offered everything we wanted . Very clean and well presented.

We couldn’t have had a warmer welcome or to be made feel so valued as a guest. The room was lovely, the bed was very comfortable and everything was clean. We had all of the amenities we needed and more besides. Breakfast was lovely and were offered top ups of hot drinks. Probably one of the nicest places we’ve stayed in a while!

Only stayed for one night on way home, wished was longer. Fabulous hotel in a lovely setting that would be a perfect base for local attractions. Staff very friendly and helpful, room great with gorgeous view and breakfast excellent. Arrived late but squeezed in a drink at bar...food menu looked good.

The hotel room was perfect and the bed was so comfy. The only down side was we were kept up the entire night by teenagers having a party in there room a few doors from us (although they could be heard from anywhere in the hotel) and I was quite shocked to have not received an apology from the staff.

Nice hotel! My room (724) was quite big, pretty comfortable - and quiet: I slept very well. The hotel felt (and smelled) very clean - you notice it as soon as you enter the spacious reception area. Encouraging.
I had a meal in the bar area on Saturday evening. The food was fine though perhaps not wildly exciting. What impressed me was the charming young bar staff, who worked really hard. For instance, when there was a lull between customers, the young bar man got straight down to re-sanitising...

Had a great overnight stay. Lovely room with view on golf course. Nice to have bath with separate shower. Reception team very kind and helpful as were the staff in Roosters restaurant and the breakfast room. I took advantage of the nearby included gym and pool (12 min drive or the hotel also has a free bookable shuttle). All in all I was very impressed.

The hotel is in a walking distance from the railway station. The area is good and convenient to go out to find a dinner. The pub in the hotel is nice as well. And, surprisingly, the hotel provide a free drink when aware that it was my birth month. Thank you very much!

We booked this hotel due to its location to Donington Circuit. The location was perfect, the circuit being about 10 minutes drive away (maximum).
The owners were lovely and very friendly, Beverley helped us find somewhere to eat on a Sunday when everywhere else was closed or had finished serving.
Although the hotel is on the main road, the small town of Melbourne is quiet and the road isn't busy - even on a bank holiday weekend. There are a number of places to eat nearby including a lovely...
