"The hotel is at the end of the lane between the river Trent and a tributary, so it feels very rural and secluded."

“The riverside setting is truly a highlight, offering a tranquil atmosphere complemented by friendly and attentive staff. Guests found the rooms comfortable, well-appointed, and clean, with particular praise for the quality of food, especially the breakfast and Sunday roast. While the main hotel impresses, some external cottage areas could benefit from minor attention, though the interiors are perfectly adequate.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukleicestershire
