I very recently met 2 friends who live in the West Midlands for afternoon tea at the priest house hotel. It was absolutely lovely, beautiful setting, food, and good but discrete service. The setting is gorgeous and all in all a real treat!!

My first time staying at this hotel, which I picked for it's locality to Donington Park for Download festival. All the staff I have encountered have been wonderful; very polite, very attentive, very friendly. The breakfast is excellent, the room is a very high standard and beautifully kept. I can't imagine not coming back. It's perfect.

The Priest House is in a really beautiful setting, and the main hotel, staff and food were very good. However, as the hotel was full we were placed in one of the cottage rooms, which itially looked very cosy from the outside. Unfortunately, they were not up to the standard you would expect from any hotel, and especially not one... More

We used our Handpicked Hotel Points for afternoon tea here and had a very good experience. Ms. Clift helped in advance before we left home and everything was in order on our arrival and just as promised, at no cost to us. It was so refreshing and ample with good instruction on various teas from our tall red headed waiter.... More

We recently stayed here in the cottage accommodation, the setting is fabulous what more could you ask for stunning views, very relaxed by the river, very peaceful, quiet and serene. Lots of parking. However, I was not impressed with the accommodation, outside looks so quaint, but inside is looking very dated, and although the en-suite was more up to date... More

We stayed here as part of the Sunday night club which includes dinner, breakfast and cream tea - very good value and we had done the same at Rookery Hall which was an amazing experience. Unfortunately the priest house did not live up to expectations. Dinner service was incredibly slow - we were there for 2 hours with at least... More

I have just been for afternoon tea with a couple of members of my family, the setting is lovely and the table laid very nicely, we were offered a box of tea to 'sniff' at and decide what flavours we would like, being advised we could have a pot then have a different flavour pot so we were lead to...

We booked lunch here after a private funeral and they knew the occasion when we booked. When we arrived they were obviously archiving old files and these were stacked up outside the main entrance - not a good look, surely this could be done using a rear door? After one hour we had a bottle of wine a bottle of... More
