The Priest House On The River

Average

Location is beautiful. We stayed in a twin room (son and mother) in one of the cottages. The entrance to the cottages are going through some redecoration. A basic comfortable room, clean. The electrics died in the room in the morning, but a quick call to reception sorted it all out. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. Cooked to order. Pastries, cereals, toasts available too. Coffee from an urn, which was fine, could have been hotter. But good value overall. We dined in the restaurant in the evening, lovely food. There was a shockingly rude couple in the restaurant which made us feel very uncomfortable so we ate as quickly as possible and left, but enjoyed the views and beautiful sunset outside. They clearly hadn't read the menu before hand and were expecting a Brewers Fayre menu! We would definitely stay again, as was convenient and comfortable for us.

Food and staff both excellent! Room very tired, mattresses on bed appalling- please change them- had an awful nights sleep!

Stay was ok, food was good but the variation in standard of rooms is significant.

Out of the way riverside hotel with some rooms separate from the main building. We were in one of the separate rooms which had parking outside. Twin beds with a narrow bathroom with shower. One of the beds was very noisy - springs creaking at slightest movement and the floorboards above were extremely noisy so we heard every movement in the room above. Bar and food offering was good but they had run out of steak and burgers on Sunday night - the Sunday roast was a good alternative with a choice of meats. Would stay again as close to Donington Park but you need transport to get to it.
