The room was very run down with a threadbare carpet and no bulb in one of the bedside lamps. The room was at the top of the building and no help was offered with carrying my luggage up the stairs.
The bathroom was antiquated and the dodgy plumbing kept me awake as it made a tremendous noise every hour or so.
The staff were cheerful and friendly but seemed inexperienced and there were very few of them.
The hotel is set in beautiful grounds but could do with major improvements.
When my taxi pulled up to Donnington Grove, I was instantly impressed with this gem out in the country. I had a beautiful room on the top floor, enjoyed the cool evening air coming through the windows, and sitting in the late afternoon watching the geese bathe and play. It was a truly relaxing part of my England vacation!
Waste bin was found to be half full in bathroom.
No VAT receipt available on departure, was told it would be forward, have chased up, still nothing 2 days later
Stayed here for 1 night for work. Long drive up to property through golf course. Okay greeting from person on reception. I was in room 304 which was up a lot of stairs (at least 3 flights) and there was no lift (which was okay for me). Room was huge as was the ensuite, but all very tired decor and needed redecorating. Bed was comfortable, WiFi was okay, TV was old and control was not great. Tea and coffee making facilities were in a draw and had to unplug another device to plug in the kettle. Lots of Canadian Geese in the grounds which did make an amount of noise both at night and in the morning.

FAB STAY
Fantastic stay!.. got an upgrade aswell.
Food was fab.
What a lovely place to stay!
We were in the summer houses which were very spacious, clean and comfortable. The showers were the best ever.
My husband did his morning walk up to the Castle and really enjoyed it.
The full English breakfast was superb with delicious sausages and that set us up for the day. Overall a wonderful stay and we are sure to return. Highly recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
great property very old but very classy. bed needed upgrade, carpet needs fixed or replaced.
Food options were limited, Bed comfort excellent , internet access good, transport access good,
Paint work looked tired and stains on bedroom carpet, woodwork on doors and frames was rotten.
The room we were in could do with a decorate, or at least a decent clean. There were cobwebs covering the ceiling in the bathroom and around the lights in the bedroom.

Beautiful old house and excellent location. It does need money spending on upgrades though, specially plumbing and in some areas decor. There were several guests who had room changed, we ended up in the room with doggy shower after someone else vacated it - it was better than the room with the bees nest. Staff were brilliant and coped with the various issues well despite being stretched.
