Donington Manor Hotel

We took my mother and father for a Sunday lunch anniversary meal, on entering I though oh no as the building is very old and tired, however, the dining room is beautiful and the food was absolutely amazing, the service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble and they made my parents anniversary special with a note on the table and complimentary drinks, we will certainly be returning , please people give this venue a try

Absolutely recommend lovely welcome snd brilliant service . So warm friendly and towards me and my daughter . It was my daughter birthday so we had afternoon tea for 2 which was delicious. I’m vegetarian and they didn’t know so the chef change the food for me . We was also offered water and another pot of tea . We had the whole place to our selfs it’s very clean and beautiful old building . Definitely will go again I got brilliant offer on Groupon.

Very old building first time visit for Afternoon Tea. Prawn, fresh salmon. Ham and cheese and egg and cucumber sandwiches. Nice selection of home made cakes and scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam.Tea and coffee endless. Nice afternoon out won’t be everybody’s cup of tea in an old building but I must say it’s very good value for the money nice pleasant staff too.

Last week we took friends for a meal at the Donington Manor. We had a super evening and James made us feel very special. The dining room was candlelit and the food superb. My husband and I are vegan and they have a delicious vegan menu. Always a pleasure to go there for dinner or drinks.

Feedback on room 25. We arrived Wednesday night quite late we were welcomed very well & provided with plates for a carry out pizza as too late for bar food. Breakfast was great again the staff were good. Room 25 however is very tired,smells damp.the double bed is old, creaks & very uncomfortable. My pillow was opened at one end and stained really made me feel quite unwell. I informed the staff in the morning as it needs to be binned. The bath panel is coming away, is very stained & there is dampness & brown stains on ceiling above the sink. Above the entrance door the wallpaper is coming off. Windows dirty cobwebs dead spiders. I stay away in many hotels but I have never experienced such poor accommodation. On their web site the room is described as a suite costing us £139 for the night, the one photo of the room is quite decieving. The hallway outside is also stained & wallpaper coming away. I wrote to the hotel yesterday giving them the chance to respond but I have heard nothing & I have decided to put up an honest review would never go back awful. Elaine

Booked here for 3 people to share a room near the airport . Advertised with a restaurant , bar , reception etc . We arrived at 2pm for check in to find it in darkness and all locked up . Virtually no phone signal there to ring anyone up. So we went across road to the castle inn to use their WiFi .( loverly pub) . Got hold of someone about 3 pm ish who said she be at reception. We went over and she was there a very friendly girl who showed us to our rooms ? . Sorry do you mean room ? No the hotel is shift so we put you in 2 rooms in an outside bit . Room had 2 electric heaters in it and was like a tropical rain forest with the heat and the damp . The room was shocking as in shocking. . Smelled fusty and damp , plug socket hanging off the wall that had been stuck on with blue tack !!! A extension lead nailed to the bathroom wall for to and kettle . The bathroom what I could see of it as lights didn’t work looked like something out a horror film . Too late to do anything so went to sleep . Told other lad not to bother coming as it’s a dump . At 11.30 pm I was awoken by some guy banging on my window ! . His car was in car park and barrier had gone down and he did not have a code . I took him to reception that was locked up rang after hours number no answer so I went back in . £90 I paid for this and it was disgusting
