Place to stay near the arboretum

It is a lovely place to stay the hotel part is in a beautiful setting right on the river Trent the only thing that lets it down is the outside of the cottages accommodation. It is the need of some tlc paint work wood work needs looking at. The inside of the cottages are fine beds are comfy shower is good. Food in the hotel is good, breakfasts are very good help yourself. All said I would stay again.

Perfectly located for inbetween stop off for us, location was perfect. No lift, no help offered with bags, rooms electronic sockets dangerous/broken, dirty fan, broken tiles etc in bathroom, shower screen not fitted so water floods out when showering. All said, im disabled, so all points to a disaster waiting to happen, and pillows very uncomfortable.

Jelena

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was in very poor condition. There were spiders inside, along with visible spider webs both in the corridors and stairways. The bed was covered in dust and room had a strong, unpleasant old smell. The shower barely worked, with only water dripping from the head, making it impossible to properly wash out shampoo. The entire property showed serious wear and tear, which made the stay uncomfortable.
