i got help getting into my room as i arrived. the self-catering room had a hot tub i liked. i found a good breakfast selection with tea and coffee. the hot tub stayed warm, it was a very good addition.
the outside light stayed on and there weren't blackout curtains, so it was hard to get dark.

The hot tub was a true luxury, a completely new experience for us. the breakfast options were good and healthy, the tea and coffee facilities convenient. the surrounding area is peaceful and charming. We particularly enjoyed visiting the farm with the baby lambs. the falcon inn offered a delicious, reasonably priced meal one evening.
I did not like that the outside light needed to stay on. There were no blackout curtains. It was difficult to achieve complete darkness while sleeping.

Really good Stay, Perfect Facilities and Wonderful Touches!

great locationcomfortable bedexcellent facilitiesexcellent comfort
I found the location ideal, mostly due to its proximity to East Midlands Airport. The facilities were excellent! The comfort level exceeded my expectations. I will definitely consider a return visit in the future.
I noticed the outside light remained on, which did cause some light exposure. There were no blackout curtains installed! It was a minor inconvenience.

charming getaway

comfortable bedluxury beddingwell appointed room
i found the super comfortable bed and luxury bedding quite good. the little extra touches of biscuits and cake charmed me? the cleanliness and well-appointed nature of the room were excellent.
i found the outside light that needed to be left on slightly bothersome, as there were no blackout curtains. this meant complete darkness during sleep was not achievable.

the room was quite clean, i will say that.
the promised blackout curtains were missing. The room was too bright at night with the outside light shining in. the shower pressure was also very weak. I barely got a proper wash.
