Disappointingly the WORST room I have ever stayed in.
I had read reviews that the place was dated, but my bathroom door had literally fallen off its hinges. You can overlook a bit of dated decor, but my room was absolutely filthy. You could see the dirty and dust build up on furniture like the armchair, someone’s sock was in the fireplace, cobwebs and spiders in corners and under furniture, ***** on the loo seat and black mould and mildew in the bathroom. I even saw silverfish running across the bed!
Bedroom amenities were very minimal also, but the cherry on the cake was having to listen to the bar staff discussing vomiting and diarrhoea while waiting for my dinner.
Such a shame as the location is lovely.

Only stayed the one night in a cottage room with a view of the river. The room and en suite were clean and the bed was really comfy. The food at the restaurant was excellent.

Stayed for just one night but the staff were SO nice and the room was excellent - quiet, comfy bed etc. Breakfast was good and check in/out quick and easy. Very highly recommended.

The whole place could be amazing. Please do the basic maintenance on this lovely building (fixing dripping taps, washing carpets, fixing walls & new curtains wouldnt break the bank). You really feel the wow factor as soon as you drive up to this beautiful place and building. Unfortunately the lack of maintenance of the beautiful buildings and surrounding let the place down (now wow factor when you open the door). The bridge (which has plastic road blocks at the edge) looks like it to could collapse at any minute and the river edge patio is just a blocked off area of bricks. The rooms in the main building look very small and the cottage rooms really do need some TLC & some character. The hotel is very function focussed so reception etc.. is loverly but it is over priced until the rooms are in better condition. The bed was very comfortable but take air plugs if you are staying in the cottage rooms as you can hear every move the neighbours make and hear ever car that drives far to fast you window. Hopefully at some point the repairs will be done and I would then like to go back.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. Amazing location by the river with plenty of parking. That being said, the room I stayed in was in dire need of some TLC — broken/missing switches, rotten wooden window frames, poor sink drainage, even the ironing board was old and tired, with loose fittings that made it wobble during use.

Stayed two nights. Cottages are clean and comfortable inside but exterior needs some TLC. Grounds are lovely as is being next to the river. Staff very friendly and food good. Would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay as normal, excellent evening meal, excellent breakfast, excellent Stocker Room with views to the River Trent, it was quiet and peaceful in a beautiful location, everything we required for our wedding anniversary stay, I look forward to our next stay.
