Did the New Year package. Staff was excellent as was the food. We had a room in the main building which was good. Only moan was the DJ could have been more with it as the midnight hour approached. But would definitely do it again excellent value for the money

Expensive for what it is, probably paying a prremium for the river side location. Service was not good in the restaurant, maybe they were having a bad day/night or had staff shortages but I wouldnt go back. Room was fine though.

A pretty setting next to the river and the tea was really nice. Delicious sandwiches which had lovely soft bread, the cakes were exceptionally good, our waiter was very friendly too. The only downside were the scones which were hard and not very pleasant.

We stayed one night, were charged 135 for a room in shocking condition and left very disappointed. Good points:
- food was good. We had dinner and breakfast and the meals were tasty and reasonable value
- most of the staff did appear to be trying to deliver a good service
- the beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean and in good condition
Bad points:
1.we complained when leaving and asked for a response from the manager. Nearly three weeks later they have not seen fit to respond so we must assume they consider this acceptable!

Absolutely delightful place adjacent to the River Trent.
Dates back as a mill in Norman times. Afternoon tea was excellent and really filling and the staff were superb.
Had a memorable Sunday afternoon.
