Nice hotel. Good food. I do not like waiting an excesive time for a meal. I ate on a Sunday night, and the desert alone took almost an hour. I realise that Sunday night s not the busiest time, but as a guest at a hotel I expect the same level of service at all times.

I love the setting on the river and the pleasant ambience and staff. The room was very nice and quiet as requested and the food was excellent. The buffet breakfast was cold when we got to it and there was only lump sugar when I got cereal so had to wait for some to be brought.

Helpful staff. Charming buildings well off the main road with lovely river views. Convenient for Donington Circuit (10-15 mins) and the airport. The room was comfortable and well equipped. Not too keen being called 'darling' on several occasions by one member of staff. We got the feeling that the restaurant was trying too hard to be something it really wasn't capable of being at the moment. Although all the staff were helpful some of them could do with better training, the food doesn't have that 'wow' factor and is a little too pretentious/'Chefy for its own good', and a bit over-priced. It really needs to address these things if it aspires to "fine dining". That is not to say we didn't enjoy eating there. Didn't try the Brasserie but would do so if there is a 'next time'.

The thoughtfulness, and kindness shown even prior to us arriving. We was extremely greatful and shocked that we'd had our room upgraded because we was celebrating our albeit short but happy honeymoon. I had a vision of how our night should be, and the Priest House definitely fulfilled that. Thank you also for the gift of champagne and strawberries! Our dinner was outstanding also. We would not hesitate to recommend you to friends, we actually have not stopped talking about you since our return. A thousand thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Beardsley.

1 the setting 2 the staff were very helpful and tried their best 3 Chris tried to move us into the main hotel and this could have happened but only for our first night and we didn't want to move for the second night (we booked our first night on booking.com and the second on a cheaper rate as part of a wedding party) 1 the cottages - the room was small, dark, had no bath and was poorly lit 2 the very high price of alcohol 3 shortage of food at wedding barbecue 4 breakfast buffet on first day was slow to be replenished

Beautiful location, great food and nice rooms. Close to Donington Park race circuit where we were heading the next day. Nine of us in the party - all loved it. One guest was in the cottage and the rooms aren't as good.

We stayed during the summer and the setting was lovely. We then booked to stay on 29th October so that I could meet up with my family but found the bar area very lacking in atmosphere and quite uncomfortable ( too hot, bad lighting and expensive drinks) as it was completely dominated by a wedding and birthday party even though we were a table of 9. We may stay again as a couple during the summer but definitely not when arranging to meet family again. As previously said, the setting is what draws us and we see it only as a place to visit on our own as a couple.

the location was ideal for what we wanted, and the staff were friendly and helpful. the grounds of the hotel were lovely and very picturesque. we found the room very small, and expensive for what we got. the room was not as clean as we would have liked and there were cobwebs on the curtain rails that had obviously been there a long time.
