North West Leicestershire District Hotels with Bars

We chose the Priest House hotel for a large family gathering and it was the perfect venue. Everyone found it easy to get to from different regions of England, and although it's close to the motorway and the airport, you really can't tell as you drive down the steep little lane past Donington Park. The hotel is at the end of the lane between the river Trent and a tributary, so it feels very rural and secluded. It has a real sense of history too, being so close to the old mill wheels that still sit on the riverside. The staff were always friendly and helpful while I was organising our event, and just as supportive and receptive to our needs on the day of the gathering. The Garden Suite where we held our meal and entertainment was perfect, with its own bar and little dancefloor and access to a private area of the gardens. The food and drink were good quality. Our bedroom was in the old cottages just across the lane so I don't know what rooms in the main building are like. Ours was a bit dated but had everything we needed. The main thing I would suggest it needs is some hooks / rails in the ensuite for towels and more sockets in the bedroom for charging phones etc - small things that so many hotel rooms could do with more of! The cottages are clearly old and small so noise does carry - if you're bothered about noise from other rooms the main building is perhaps more soundproof.

Brilliant hotel always so nice to stay at. Easy to get to and as I work in transport it’s ideal for me to stay near my work places. The staff are great and always welcoming. The hotel is always clean. I’ve never had a problem at all ever when I have stayed here. 

Booked on the same day. Reception texted me with exact directions as the sat nav coordinates cover a big area, which was a great start. Arrived, checkin was smooth, double room allocated on the ground floor. Room was excellent, clean and spacious. Our window view was lovely, green trees and very quite. Ample parking. Full english cooked breakfast plus fresh fruit and pastries. Hot tea or coffee. Bed was very comfortable. My only complaint is other guest smoking outside our window. I did tell reception, who came and sprayed our room with a air freshner. We found a chinese restuarant only 10mins drive called Wong Kwei, very good food excellent service. A must visit to The National Arboretum Centre, free entry. Pre pay for parking (£4.00) to avoid disapointment. As a good will gesture leave a donation. Well worth a visit. Approx 20 mins drive from the hotel. We will stay here again.

Handy Hotel for the terminal. I couldn’t hear planes from my room which was clean and tidy although a little ‘worn’ It didn’t detract from the handiness of being so close to the terminal for an early flight. Nice shower and comfy bed. Kettle and coffee sachets or tea bags were handy first thing in the morning. The food was ok but not a lot of choice (sign of the times maybe?) the beer was nice though! The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice to know if a lone traveller like I was.

Nice room, spacious with all usual fixtures and a comfortable bed. Good value for money. Bar and cooked food available. Plenty of parking (free). Good location if travelling. Ideal for the East Midlands airport and for nearby University of Nottingham Sutton Bonington campus.

I was away on a business contract and stayed at the Charnwood Arms Hotel for 2 months. A comfortable bed with en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. The staff are fantastic and are always willing to help and make my stay as great as possible. The Hungry Horse pub attached to the hotel is the same with the staff. One couldn't ask for better treatment. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will miss the team. I was sad to have to leave when my contract ended. Thank you ALL. x

The outside of the hotel is nice on arrival and the couple (I assume?) who run it were very friendly and chatty. There is a decent number of parking spaces for guests and we didn’t struggle to get one during our stay. The reception is well decorated and quite modern in design. The stairs are quite creaky and some of the carpets in the corridor were very old and tired. Some of the floorboards creak quite loudly too. The room we had was large and spacious, with windows facing out into a peaceful garden area - a squirrel was foraging outside and was not spooked by our presence. There were two televisions in the room, one for the sofa and one for the bed. There was wifi included and details were on the table, but we could not connect to it at all - perhaps we were too far from the server? The furniture and decor of the room was dated and tired, but it was generally clean and tidy. The bed was reasonably comfortable and it was very quiet at night. The bathroom appeared to have been refurbed more recently than the room, but the shower was very low and had very little pressure. The room clearly needs refurbishment and modernising, as I am sure the owners are aware, but it’s easier said than done in the current financial climate. I hope they can do it soon and breathe new life into their business. We did not eat at the hotel, but there was breakfast available for an additional payment. Nor did we use the bar. The price is reasonable enough in terms of the size of room, quietness, and location - with the centre of Castle Donington on the doorstep and Donington Park a short drive or bus ride away.
