I had a lovely one night stay, the bed was comfortable and cleanliness was immaculate, a good supply of coffee & teas in the room and a couple of bottles of water... shower was a little stiff to turn on cold water, it was fiddly and very hot so be careful...but once sorted the shower was brilliant there were also luxury shower gels provided and hand gel at the basin.

United KingdomThe breakfast roll was a good idea - there was nowhere to sit and eat apart from in bed so it will be better when there is a breakfast back on offer and somewhere to sit and eat.

Hi I hope your keeping well!! I was wondering how far exactly you are from Castle Donington for the Download Festival in June 2022? Is there public transport near your accommodation to facilitate this? Kind regards JaniceHello there, we are located in the next village to Castle Donington and therefore either a 40 minute walk or a 10 minute bus ride. The bus stop to Download is approx. 100 yards from the guest house.Answered on October 31, 2021

Holden House is a friendly family-run business offering quality riverside accommodation in Shardlow, Derbyshire. All of our bedrooms are en-suite with colour television and radio. Tea and coffee making facilities, toiletries and towels are also provided.
Holden House was built at the end of the 18th Century as The Holden Arms Public House and is a Grade II listed building within the Shardlow Conservation area (1975). Holden House is situated on the bank of the River Trent and is adjacent to the Trent and Mersey Canal. We aim to provide high quality accommodation to enable our guests to have an comfortable stay with thoughts that they will visit us time and time again.
We have recently refurbished all of our rooms to a very high standard but have kept that home away from home feel which is very important to us.
Within the village on Shardlow Wharf, next to the Clock Warehouse is a most interesting place called “The Shardlow Heritage Centre” full of everything about Shardlow’s history including the old, now demolished Shardlow Workhouse and is very well worth a visit during the year from Easter until late autumn.
