Check in could be slightly improved if someone was dedicated solely to the front desk. They seemed a bit rushed off their feet with the event on at the same time. More lighting and grit in the car park would be good too. Because of the event on at the time, it was quite a full car park. Being on my own walking through the dark, slippy car park, I didn't feel the most comfortable. More lighting over signage would be helpful to guide around the car park too.

I really loved the hotel and my room, however the bed was really uncomfortable. The mattress was really lumpy and sank in on both sides so I didn't have a great nights sleep, hence for the low score. On-site parking was also great and was one of the reasons I picked the hotel.

We looked at lots of hotels for a one night in Leicester. Most were either big chain or fairly basic city hotels. This is mainly a wedding venue but in a bit of a green oasis within Leicester. Quiet, good service, good food, plenty of space. A good find

Doors were paper thin so you could hear anyone in the corridor. No safe in room Surrounding park didn’t feel safe Pros Lovely staff Good tea/coffee selection in room Nice toiletries

very nice old manor house and rooms with high ceilings although rooms were a little dated and bed mattress was past its use by date. Also probably chose the wrong night to stay with a lively wedding going on but I suspect that will be a common experience staying here and probably the hotel is not a best bet for a quiet evening.

One night stay, nice warm room on arrival. Facilities adequate for our stay, good coffee machine, plenty of towels, bed comfortable, pillows a little hard for our liking. Didn’t seem to be a safe in the room. Reasonably quiet but could hear someone using the toilet in the room above! Thought breakfast choice limited - continental poor selection, cooked full English very good, but prefer toast severed separately and not buttered. Coffee at breakfast - awful! Need to invest in a coffee machine. The Asian lady from London on reception (sorry didn’t get her name) very friendly and helpful. Had a nice chat with her on our return later in the evening. Would stay again if in the area.

No heating on the room when we arrived. Were told that by security as no one was there form hotel staff. Were given a small heater and the room was like an ice box when we got in the room as no one had bothered to heat it. It was -1 outside. No apology was given. Took us hours to settle in and didn't sleep till 2am as a result but were told as housekeeping leaving we can't have a later checkout. Terrible stay with not one apology from anyone. Been many times before but this time they really disappointed.

We stay on our way to Peak District and choose to do a park run in the morning. The park run is in the same park which is 1 minute outside which is amazing. The front desk staff is excellent, when we check the time of breakfast, they told the kitchen to make sure wait us to get our breakfast- in the end we back on time but still very caring service.
