“Excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

A great hotel for a break this is the third time we have visited and will be back again, friendly staff, great food and comfortable rooms. The food is lovely and Eva who is the breakfast waitress is so helpful you leave with a lasting impression of your stay. It's not a posh hotel but very comfortable.

“Best breakfast and great nights sleep”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

We stayed for one night two weeks ago.
The pub is nice and we had a good value meal in the afternoon. on first sight the rooms in the hotel part need updating. Having said that we all had a fantastic sleep and the rooms were nice and warm. The best came in the morning where we had such a great breakfast, cooked to order with a nice buffet to support. All served by Eva, a truly great asset for this hotel.
Dont be put off by the tired rooms. It's a nice enough place with nice garden views of the river as a bonus.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay with us. I'm pleased to hear that breakfast and your evening meals were great and that the staff were happy and friendly. It's also great to know that you would stay again. I've recently employed a handyman and he is in the process of freshening up the bedrooms, and we do also have a lovely superior room which is much larger than our standard double rooms.

“Great room prices , friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012 via mobile

Visited this weekend to hotel
Bar , restaurant and reception staff were all friendly , helpful and welcoming . Breakfast was excellent , plenty on offer . Made to order breakfast not hear lamps made the meal hot.
I was in a room at the front over the entrance, however it was very quiet and noise free on both nights.
Even on a very cold spell , the room was warm ! . Room was clean , and plenty of towels . The downside was it could do with painting , the hotel section looks tired.

“Room 8”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Great location, good check in, lovely setting right by the river trent, but room 8 was so small, and smelt of perfume, as did the entrance hall, like it was trying to cover up a smell, shame as our stay was good, breakfast was great as was the meals in the evening, the staff were happy and friendly, I would stay again but would hopefully book a different room.
