The hotel was good. The food in the restaurant was good. The staff were good
Pros:

The hotel was a good value price and I found the room to be adequate and comfortable.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi was none existent in my room. Room 7. I needed it for doing some reports after work. When I booked that was one of my requests.

Cons:

I did not like at ALL that the actions of the hotel on the day we checked out which need to be addressed.

My partner and I had gotten married the day of our stay. What we were then confronted with on the day after, which should have been a lovely relaxing day, was being sent a video via whatsapp that had obviously been taken & narrated by the cleaner - a video I am happy to share. This video showed that there were some empty food containers, some empty glasses and towels on the floor. Nothing too egregious (which I can testify to as I used to work as a hotel cleaner!!!!) - however we simply didn't clean up everything. If we were happy to do that we would have booked an airbnb not a hotel room!

This is appalling behaviour. To literally have the hotel send us videos to try and shame us for standard mess left in a hotel room. I do not know what they hoped to achieve by this but I found it rude, invasive, totally out of order and unprofessional. I would not recommend staying there to anyone else if this is how they treat hotel guests.

If you just want somewhere to sleep this will do, forget about food the restaurant closes early.
Cons:

There was no breakfast facilities.
The waste paper bins were not emptied
We had cold water for two days, as the pub was not open when we left at 08.30 we could not report this to anyone.
It is not a Hotel but a pub with rooms in converted outbuildings.
The menu was limited in the restaurant.
We were promised a partial refund due to the cold water issue, a week later we have received nothing.

See above
Pros:

They don’t do breakfast. A small room with no chair to sit on. No towels left in the room to use. The window wouldn’t close properly and it’s at ground level. A really uncomfortable bed which is about 2 foot off the floor. The bathroom was very small and then the light went - meaning I had to use the bathroom in the dark. To top it all when I turned on the hot tap in the bathroom to wash in the morning - no water came out of the hot tap at all. Shaved in cold water. The tiny shower did have hot water though. Nightmare stay really - shame because it’s a good location in a nice village setting.

Cons:

See above.

Nice place to stay with easy access from the car park and the pub/restaurant
Pros:

Easy access from my car to the rooms and the pub/restaurant. Easy to find it along the main road.

Cons:

We booked two rooms. In the both rooms, there were only one big bath towel and a small one provided. One of the showers had very low water pressure. And one of the fridge wasn't working. We left the Inn early in the morning. The restaurant was closed and no one was there us to return the key. So that we dropped the keys through the letter flap on the door which we weren't instructed at the check in.

No hot water, dirty bedding, mouldy smell in mini fridge, one towel provided for two people, they double booked our room
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Arrived at the hotel, checked in and paid, was taken to the room. No hot water. Rang for help numerous times, nothing was done. Then had a cold shower as had places to be, only to be barged in on by management saying we needed to leave as THEY had double booked the room. Suggested we shared a triple room with someone .. no apology, no sincerity, absolutely dreadful customer service. Dirty bedding with no bedding covers on, only one towel provided despite being two of us.. The mini fridge stunk of gone off milk / cheese, Would not recommend to anyone… £80 down the drain!

My go to place to stay in south Leicestershire
Pros:

Lovely village pub location, but the rooms are in a different building so you don’t really hear the pub. Good food in the restaurant, and the rooms are cosy and I love that they have a fridge in them too!

Cons:

Curtains were left open before my arrival on a very hot day, and the blanket had been put on top of the fridge so that was working hard to work which meant it was kicking out a lot of extra heat.

Pros:

Silenzio.

Cons:

L'appartamento piccolo, spazi stretti. Vasca da bagno in camera da letto non utile. Mobilio datato. Causa posizione dell'appartamento all'ultimo piano, il caldo in camera si è fatto sentire durante la notte.
