Glad to have stayed in the building, but sad that its enormous potential is not being realised.
Pros:

The building and location are superb, and the place has immense potential. But it is badly in need of some maintenance and refurbishment. It could be outstanding; but it is looking very tired.

Cons:

Broken tiles; defective windows; missing door furniture (hooks, handles on door in the toilets); general shabbiness.

A great overnight stay. I will use Rothley Court again - great value in a beautiful building.
Pros:

The building is beautiful and the location is rural but a short walk into Rothley. The twin room is not in the main building but the room was large and beds comfortable, shower was powerful. Lovely grounds to sit outside.

Cons:

The shower curtain!!!

Very good value stay in a comfortable hotel with a nice bar and big car park.
Pros:

The bar, terrace and beer garden were very comfortable, with plenty of seating and friendly, hospitable staff. Breakfast was particularly good value with nicely cooked food and pleasant service. The hotel grounds are outstanding, with plenty of room for parking.

Cons:

Some of the public areas are a bit shabby and are in need of refurbishment, and the dinner menu could be improved by adding some healthier, freshly prepared options.
