Great venue for family celebration.
Pros:

Booked this venue for a celebration lunch and it was perfect. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The lunch was very well organised and menu choice great. The food was very good and well presented. Service was excellent and the 'Happy Birthday' plate was a lovely touch. Also liked that we could choose a lighter breakfast at the bar, the spacious car park plus electric charging points.

Cons:

Nothing negative to note!

Perfect location and outstanding price when visiting a student at the University.
Pros:

The price for a single night is outstanding value. While it is an excellent location when visiting a student at the University. The room and lobby were very clean while the room was a good size and the shower powerful and suitably hot. Secure parking on site.

Cons:

Meh.
Pros:

Conveniently located for University of Nottingham, as it’s on the campus.

Cons:

I don’t know if it’s common, but being on a university campus, i was surprised there were 2 conferences going on, one of which had nothing to do with the University. As a result, the restaurant/bar were filled to the brim with loud and somewhat obnoxious conference attendees. I couldn’t get a table in the restaurant, or anywhere to relax around the bar. People were outside being noisy, so a relaxing evening prior to University orientation was difficult. My room smelt of mildew. The breakfast in the morning was bland, commercial, mass produced food & the price for both hotel & breakfast was really expensive for what was received. Parking was also an additional charge, but was hard to find a space.A lot of this could have been mitigated when checking in, and maybe we should have been forewarned, or suggested if we wanted to eat, then should have made a reservation when checking in rather than finding out at 7.00pm there went any availability.
The entire experience felt like an average airport hotel at a premium price.

Exceptional hotel in beautiful grounds
Pros:

The hotel reception and bar area were very welcoming, we were too early to check in so we had a drink at the bar until our room was ready. It was my birthday and I was very surprised to see birthday decoration in the room and on the bed -lovely! Breakfast was very tasty - overall a lovely relaxing stay in beautiful grounds.
Sabina behind the bar was especially lovely - even gave me a cake for a birthday treat :-)

Cons:

Nothing...except we wished we could have stayed longer!
