Mountsorrel Vacations from $1,675

Great location, really friendly and helpful staff, plenty of free parking, large and very clean room, will be my default choice for future visits to Donnington Park.

It is set in beautiful grounds, part of the Nottingham University campus and we found it to be very quiet, almost serene. There is an outdoor sitting area overlooking a lake. It is slightly unusual in comparison to a regular hotel, the layout is obviously geared to meetings and conferences but not an issue. The reception area doubles up as a bar in the evening. The rooms are huge and are well decorated, with all the usual facilities that you need. The whole place is spotlessly clean. The breakfast was very good value and free parking which is a bonus! The only real gripe we have was the cost of taxis to get you into town as it is about 4 miles away and you certainly don’t want to be using your car. The prices varied between £11 and £14 for a journey there and late at night it cost £24 to get a taxi back to the hotel late at night. I would have no hesitation in returning to this hotel again.

The hotel room felt high quality, everything from the sheets to the shower were very nice. What makes this property exceptional are the staff. They are incredibly helpful for the smallest requests and very kind. As i went for breakfast, one staff member noticed me avoiding me the meat and offered me vegetarian sausages. Another had assured me that all the meat was halal at the restaurant. It was these perceptive staff that truly made my stay enjoyable. The staff member named Liza was amazing.

Lovely hotel & staff, only letdown was chewing gum had been left on the tea tray.
