    beautiful grounds
    friendly staff
    limited activities

    We had a lovely family stay by the river, where the kids enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds and we relished the amazing two-course meal for just £21.95! The staff were friendly, making our time quite enjoyable.

    In my wife’s opinion, the kids wished there were more fun activities available for them during our stay.

    accessibility options
    senior-friendly services

    The Priest House On The River has a charming decor that exudes warmth and comfort, making it feel like a home away from home, especially with easy access for seniors to enjoy the beautiful riverside views.

    Better accessibility options for seniors would be helpful.

    noisy environment
    slow service

    The setting is lovely along the River Trent, and the room was clean and comfortable. noise from a wedding disrupted sleep, and the service during meals could have been improved. it’s a charming place with potential for a better experience.

    slight discomfort

    Beautiful riverside views and friendly service

    I recently enjoyed a lovely stay in a spacious room overlooking the river, which created a serene atmosphere. The staff were extremely cheerful and attentive, enhancing my overall experience. The breakfast was delightful, featuring a variety of fresh options to start the day. I would have appreciated quicker service during breakfast as it felt a bit slow at times.

    great location but minor comfort issues

    The staff exhibited an impressive level of hospitality, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The ample parking provided a huge advantage, making arriving and departing hassle-free.

    The room comfort could be improved, as I found the bed a bit firmer than my preference.

    feather pillow
    spacious room

    would love to return

    The main house executive double room was spacious with a comfy sofa and a feather pillow for a good night's sleep. The dining area was well-decorated, and the food was fresh and locally sourced. Breakfast was prompt with a variety of options, and the spa facilities were a plus for some relaxation by the river.

    unique ambiance
    shabby decor
    high prices

    Riverside dining deck, scenic surroundings with wildlife, historical ambiance

    The need for room updates is glaring!!! Uncomfortable beds, shabby decor, and poor bathroom maintenance left much to be desired. Not to mention the shockingly high meal prices for minuscule portions. Steps must be taken to enhance overall quality!!!

    cozy bedroom
    beautifully decorated
    river views
    lounge area
    lack of fridge

    The stay was quite pleasant, especially with the lovely breakfast that was served. The bedroom felt perfectly cozy and was beautifully decorated with balloons and rose petals as requested. the lounge area of the room could have been more welcoming, as it lacked a fridge. I enjoyed the river views which added to the peaceful atmosphere of our stay.

    charming decor
    comfortable place
    convenient location
    inconsistent heating

    The Cottage Double Room features a charming decor that feels both homely and spacious, providing a comfortable place to recharge. It's conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the main hotel, ensuring easy access while maintaining a sense of privacy.

    There were a few inconveniences during the stay. The heating in the room couldn't be turned off, making it uncomfortably warm even with the windows open. The shower had inconsistent temperatures, fluctuating from hot to cold, which was quite jarring. I noticed a need for bedside tables and lamps for added convenience. The restaurant setting felt a bit too warm too, and I sensed some unwelcoming vibes towards dogs, as guests with pets were restricted to a designated corner in the brasserie, possibly affecting comfort during mealtimes.
