Stayed 1 night for wedding, food was amazing at the wedding, the room we stayed in is outdated but was clean and comfortable, the cottage rooms are conveniently located short walk away.

Lovely hotel venue and grounds. Have stayed previously and room was excellent. Unfortunately this time was in one of cottage rooms which felt very dated and was in need of some attention.

Place to stay near the arboretum

It is a lovely place to stay the hotel part is in a beautiful setting right on the river Trent the only thing that lets it down is the outside of the cottages accommodation. It is the need of some tlc paint work wood work needs looking at. The inside of the cottages are fine beds are comfy shower is good. Food in the hotel is good, breakfasts are very good help yourself. All said I would stay again.

Pet friendly and excellent accommodation.

We stayed in one of the cottages with our 2 dogs. These cottages are ideal if you have pets. This is our 2nd stay this year and will not be the last. The only downside is that the parking is a bit away from the cottages. There is 2 parking places for many cottages. We have a blue badge but can't be used. It is a fair walk with the luggage our dogs and their pet beds. But the room is very good and ideal for pets. The shower is probably the most powerful shower i have ever used.

Lovely hotel in a great location - would stay there again. Staff friendly and helpful - there was a wedding party going on at the time of our stay but this didn't detract from the general peacefulness of the hotel.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. Amazing location by the river with plenty of parking. That being said, the room I stayed in was in dire need of some TLC — broken/missing switches, rotten wooden window frames, poor sink drainage, even the ironing board was old and tired, with loose fittings that made it wobble during use.

Priests House by River Trent.

Service was excellent. The location and ambiance were fantastic. A good breakfast set us up for the drive home. The only downside was the extremely restricted festive dinner menu, with no option of the normal bar snacks. But we'll be back.

Needs a little love.

Beautiful location, I could’ve sat outside the bar all day. The room looked a bit tired. Chipped furniture, hole in the plaster under the tv. The shower screen hung over the outside of the bath. Limited menu in the restaurant. I remember the priest house being very elegant. It’s now ok.
