It's not a 5 star hotel, but gives excellent value for money in comfortable surroundings. Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the pub making it a convenient stopover. Plenty of free parking as well. Will definitely be visiting again. About 9 miles from Donington. ##### Gareth Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and comfy Excellent for what we needed, a clean comfy room after a day at download festival ##### mark Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trin'e 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Was greeted very welcoming amd polite couldnt be more helpfull had a lovely bath amd a good night sleep ##### Trin'e Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Noisy but comfy and convenient ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MR Robert 3 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location and comfortable.
