Booked the New Year's Eve meal and festivities. Paid over 70.00 per person. Promised fireworks, bag pipers and disco with DJ. The sales person called to inform us there was a problem with number so they were cancelling the fireworks and bag pipes but they wouls still have a disco but would be in a seperate room to the meal. Fine, we said, not ideal but ok.
Arrived to the Hotel, a beautiful venue. Not sure where to go upon entry and no one to direct you. At the sit down meal, food was atrocious. 3 very small medallions of lamb, only one was edible. The other two were complete fat and gristle

I hired the Grand Ballroom and Champagne Lounge for 77 guests for the day on the first weekend in December 2021. The organization and sale of the event was great but the service on the day was absolutely appalling. A lot of my guests commented that it seemed they were selling too many events on that day with too little staff to try and make up for Covid and it was just embarrassing. My event briefing happened at the very last minute on the day and they were running so many events with so little staff that I essentially had to act as the duty manager myself and finish the briefing to the bar staff

My husband treated my friend and I to afternoon tea at Colwick Hall which was most enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive. No complaints until we drove out of the carpark to find, even though we had eaten at the premises, there was a 2.50 parking fee. What was up until then a lovely afternoon left rather a nasty taste as we were not anticipating having to pay for parking and thought it a cheek as we were then captive and had no choice.

Met the girls for afternoon tea. A beautiful selection of sandwiches and cakes which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely surroundings, would return.

Not the 4* experience we were hoping for. We booked there to go to the races nearby for my husbands birthday. The hotel is in it's own grounds with nothing much nearby except the racecourse. We should have asked if they had a lift, which they don't, as my husband is disabled and when we arrived our room was up four flights of stairs in the attics. The rooms are described as "boutique". I don't think so.The bath/shower was impossible to get into for him and I suspect most people would have had difficulty. The toilet worked for part of the time and the maintenance people looked at it and said they
