Set in the quiet countryside, access is down a private drive leading to a secure carpark in front of the main building. The staff were very welcoming and the food served was very nice. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed our weekend

Great location excellent food. Manager really knowledgeable about history of place.
Excellent food. Fabulous service from reception, bar and restaurant. Beautiful location with amazing views. Friendly hospitable staff. Plenty of parking. Room was comfortable and spacious. It’s an old building with the related issues (you’d creak a bit if you were that old!). The breakfast buffet was limited however the cooked breakfast food more than made up for this. The evening meals were outstanding. We were part of a group of 6 and none of us were disappointed with the choice or quality.
Intimidating staff!
We booked this hotel for 2x nights with myself, my partner and my 3 year old son for a wedding in the local area. When we arrived the lady who checked us in and serving at the bar was really nice! But unfortunately it all went downhill from there.
Our original hotel stay was £318 for 2x nights for a superior double room. We arrived on the Saturday, The room was nice but a lot of wear and tear which we then got blamed for! When we left for the wedding at around 12/1pm the next morning, there were no issues- my son had spilt a drink on the carpet but I did my best to clean it up and also informed the staff before leaving.
Upon check in, the lady did advised that there is a curfew? So you cannot enter the hotel after 11pm. It says online that the hotel is open 24 hours. There were other multiple guests who were upset about this too. But this was the only time it was mentioned to us. We wanted to be respectful so we prebooked a taxi for 10:45 which ended up cancelling on us. We’re were waiting over an hour for another one - tried to ring the hotel multiple times and left 5 voicemails and no one answered.
We received a message on Hotels.com (inserted below) stating about the curfew and that they have mentioned it to us multiple times - which felt very passive aggressive as it was only mentioned on check in.
When we arrived back there was an older gentleman at the front door, as soon as we walked in he said to us “your room is a state” “it’s so messy up there”
Very friendly welcome, we booked a suite, because no dogs are allowed there, which is probably a good idea when you have allergies. The suite was very spacious and romantic. The food was delicious, although I suspect that the breakfast portion size could be a bit larger for some people. The hotel has much charm and is situated in very quiet surroundings. The guest book proposed many things to do, but visitors should come by car, to get around easily. Parking spaces were more than enough outside. Willington Hall hotel is the place to go, if you like peace and quiet and like the charm of an old country house that is kept in check very well. The staff were very nice as well.

Lovely relaxed, comfortable and friendly stay at Willington Hall. The staff went that extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed, nothing was too much trouble for them. Delicious food and drink in beautiful surroundings. We loved it!
Wonderful peaceful location. Attractive gardens. Ideally located for our visit to Donald McCain stable visit and Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre. Spacious rooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Hotel. and there was a good choice of Breakfast included.
Intend to come again when we're next in the area!
Nice place to stay for a couple of nights...... Old style facilities but more than adequate....
Checking out early can have its problems when trying to pay....
Restaurant menu and food is great - service is excellent.
Breakfast is usually full of drama though.....

Staying at Willington Hall was a lovely experience in terms of hospitality, nothing was too much trouble for the team. However, our room wasn't the cleanest. The four poster bed was extremely dusty and the windows were full of cobwebs, dead and living spiders. Dead flies, were on both the windows sills and floor to the bathroom. I did complain about this upon leaving and received an apology. The hotel is really lovely, just disappointed about our room.
Large room which was very clean and comfortable. Staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. We had dinner which was lovely and a Great breakfast.
Would definitely recommend
Very pleasant overnight stay at this attractive hotel. We had a large comfortable and well-appointed room with lovely views. Staff were very friendly and looked after us well. We stayed on a dinner bed and breakfast basis. We had an excellent dinner in the stylish dining room. Despite poor weather we thoroughly enjoyed our break at Willington Hall.
