Dreadful nights sleep due to heat and poor mattress, great breakfast
Pros:

Beautiful looking hotel, set in lovely grounds.
Breakfast was awesome, chef Calum made the most gorgeous buttermilk pancakes! The staff in the breakfast room when we stayed were also friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

The temperature of our room was so hot. I know that the hotel can't control the weather, but we stayed during the 3rd heatwave of the year and they still hadn't adequately addressed how they might make their guests more comfortable. We had a large family room at the top of one of the annex buildings, it had two tiny windows that only opened an inch. The hotel had provided one small fan for the room that could not be positioned to reach both of the beds (due to the shape of the room) and when we asked for another fan we were told the hotel was fully booked and they only had one fan per room. The mattress was really soft, like a giant had sat in the middle of it and bent it out of shape!
The reception staff were not very helpful either, on our arrival, having booked an early check-in, we were pretty much scowled at and turned away for arriving early. When I said I'd booked an early check-in they said I was still early, arriving at 12.30 for a booked 12 O'clock arrival. When I said that the person I had booked with told me 12 O'clock a second reception member told the first to check the system and our room should be ready anyway - which it was. They also forgot to tell us when breakfast started and ended, but were very quick to upsell us the breakfast. Shame, as this place looks beautiful and is a great price.

Pros:

Stayed before. Beautiful location. Lovely hotel to stay in during summer months. Lovely beer garden.

Cons:

During our stay, they clearly had supply issues. Far too many types of wines were unavailable, and even some basic meals off the menu. Very unlike Green King, but still unacceptable.

Good place to stay
Pros:

The historical old building, the food was excellent, staff polite, location for our purpose of graduation in Loughborough.

Cons:

Waiting staff need a bit more proficiency training, a bit unorganised at times, the restaurant still had food under tables at breakfast from the night before. We sat at the same table.
