What guests think

Across many reviews, The Appleby Inn Hotel is praised for friendly, helpful staff, clean and spacious rooms (including family and accessible options), good value, plentiful parking, and a popular on-site restaurant serving generous portions with a well-liked, cooked-to-order breakfast.

Common drawbacks include some rooms being too warm with no air conditioning or fans, traffic or kitchen noise affecting certain rooms, and areas that feel dated; there is also no lift to upper floors. The location is convenient for the M42 and nearby attractions such as Twycross Zoo and the NEC. Overall, it delivers a practical, comfortable stay for short visits.

Room was large and ideal for a wheelchair for accessibility plus a disabled parking space directly outside. Assistance dogs allowed too. Ate in the restaurant, food was really nice and breakfast too.

Had a great one night stay at the Appleby Inn Hotel. All the staff we met were lovely, friendly and helpful. We didn't have an evening meal, but the breakfast (included in the room rate) was excellent, I ordered smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast and I have never seen so much smoked salmon on a breakfast plate! There is no lift and the stairs are quite steep, but our room was huge, we had a family room with a double bed and a single and both beds were comfortable. Next time I will book an accessible room (in a separate ground floor building) which has parking directly outside and no stairs to negotiate. Only gripe is the room lighting is rather harsh, a bedside lamp is needed or the wall light immediately over the beds needs to have a much lower power bulb. The bed and breakfast price we paid was very reasonable and I'd definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Appleby Hotel for one night when visiting family. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There was a good choice of food at breakfast and the staff were friendly. My only criticism was that our room was above the kitchen and there was some noise when going to bed. Overall a pleasant stay.

We attended the Appleby Inn for our daughters wedding, because of this we arrived and left at unsociable hours. The instructions for doing this was made very clear. All of the staff went the extra mile to accommodate us and really made us feel nothing was too much trouble. We also dined in the restaurant and the food was very filling and very tasty. The whole experience was great service and a great price, Thank you.

Booked a 2 night stay to attend a wedding in Burton. Room was perfect for a family of 4. Requested a quiet room as our boys are light sleepers. 1st night was perfect. 2nd night, turns out we were surrounded by a wedding party who were quite loud in the room upstairs until 2am, then up again and loud at 5am. Ruined our wedding attendance and no staff on site overnight. Real shame!
