Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a beautiful spot with lovely grounds, giving a delightful countryside feel while being just 5 minutes from the town center. The rooms are cozy and equipped with the easiest-to-use TV I've seen in a hotel, although the older building might pose challenges for guests with mobility difficulties. The service provided by the owners and staff is warm and attentive, with ongoing efforts to enhance the hotel's offerings. The dining experience, while offering fantastic breakfast, can be slightly overwhelming for those seeking smaller portions. The location is ideal for both relaxing strolls by the river and convenient access to nearby towns like Burton on Trent and Nottingham.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were cozy and charming, although we had to enjoy our pre-ordered breakfast in the room due to our dogs. The service was impeccable, with welcoming and helpful staff creating a comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect for a relaxing break, complimented by gorgeous views of the countryside and river. The dining experience was of high quality, offering a great selection of dishes. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to the pleasant stay.
The hotel offers lovely rooms onto the river, spacious and comfortable with excellent facilities and beautiful views. The service was exceptional, exhibiting grace under pressure. The location, though beautiful, had some tired areas. The dining experience was of the highest standard. The facilities provided were top-notch.
