Adequate Stay Near Donington

excellent staff ample parking good breakfast cold room inappropriate comment barn origin
The staff welcomed me warmly. I found them excellent. The parking space was ample. Breakfast offered a good start to the day.
The room was cold when I arrived. I requested extra blankets to combat this issue. The host mentioned spiders due to the building's barn origins. This comment felt inappropriate for the price.
