I had a lovely stay at this hotel with fantastic views of the River Trent. The ambiance was charming, and there were many activities available nearby.

The rooms were average and could use improvements, but the location by the river is still a lovely aspect of the stay.
My stay had its ups and downs. The room was spacious and comfortable, which I appreciated. However, the bathroom was in dire need of maintenance, making the overall feel of the accommodation less impressive.

The location had a lovely rural vibe, but it did take some time to travel into Nottingham.
