Lovely lovely staff
Electrics kept blowing when trying to iron
Food at the pub in the event was so bad but breakfast was lovely.
Would use this place again hoping the food
Lovely, welcoming staff. Very easy to check in at the pub next to the accommodation. Very good location and easy to find. Free parking which is a bonus these days! Stayed for 3 nights in a family room, clean but a little dated. Beds could be more comfortable. Breakfast was nice and has a lovely kids play area. Overall a pleasant stay.
I would like to thank all staff for a wonderful overnight stay at the Blue jay, i would especially like thank Caz and Andy for their warm, friendly and helpful service and look forward to staying with you again, with best wishes Don.
Best sleep I have had in a long time! Quiet hotel. Pub next door, very accommodating to our family. We stayed in a premier inn the night before and it was very noisy and bed was uncomfy so this was just amazing! We all slept like logs!
Arrived on Sunday evening. Had been held up at an engagement but had a table booked during my journey for 20.45. Arrived at the pub/reception at 20.53 (booking line stated I had a 15 minute grace period). Told rather rudely that the kitchen had closed ages ago. I pointed out that I'd booked a table for 20.45 to which the reply was 'well it's now 20.53'. I stated that the booking said there was a 15 minute grace period and I had been stuck in traffic during my 2 hours drive, so couldn't help being 8 minutes late. The staff member went to check in the kitchen and it was indeed closed. Checked in at reception and didn't bother staying for a drink.
Room nice and large, comfortable and clean. Thankfully there's a McDonald's next door.
Staff at breakfast were lovely and breakfast was lovely. Plenty of parking. Would stay again.

Room clean, excellent customer service from reception and staff in bar. Very efficient. Great location for East Midlands Airport, very easy and quick to get to for a early flight
Clean and nice quiet place to spend few days. The environment is good. Rooms are good as well. Only thing lacked is staffs aren’t that friendly. We need to go in search of them than get assistance needed. They don’t even pay attention.
Good food reasonably priced with large choice for all catered. Clean warm room and a super breakfast next day that was very filling for a reasonable price allin for £8.75. Would def stay again
