Donington Manor Hotel

Went for Sunday dinner on a groupon deal, very nice and staff were very good, all 3 courses were lovely especially for the price we paid,Beautiful place

A memorable 80th birthday celebration lunch on Remembrance Sunday at this historic hotel. From the warm welcome to the final farewell, everything was excellent. Special mention of the chef. A treasure, indeed. The food was an imaginative twist on classic quality. A surprise song chorus and birthday treat from all the staff made the day extra special.

We booked a groupon for 3 course sunday lunch for 4 people including a drink at a bargin price ( less than £20pp) . Beautiful venue, very attentive and friendly staff. We had wine , ham hock terrine, roast beef with all trimmings and apple crumble . Menu a little different to advertised on groupon but we were still happy. A real bargin for what we paid and we would certainly go back on the same deal. My only slight niggle was the main course could have been a little hotter. Even so highly reccomended.

Had an afternoon tea here. Very nicely presented and a good selection. Good parking on the front . Nothing was too much trouble and the owner had a conversation with us after our tea. Very interesting . We would return .

It all sounded lovely. A private room with own entrance. Bar and restaurant facilities. We entered the car park which looked like a secondhand car showroom as so many cars for sale. There was a vehicle parked directly in front of the entrance to the courtyard which was where we were put with the number plate UW1ANKER. Not nice!! We received a text with a code to get us into the front door of the two units where we were located where we found our key in the door (as told). There was a small dollop of dog poo just to the right of the door. We entered the room which reeked of mustiness and damp and found a tin of roll up cigarettes on the floor. The bed, whilst clean, felt damp and the bed itself was so uncomfortable. Every time you turned over you got a spring up your rear end. I wouldn't use the shower as I thought I would come out dirtier than when I went in - full of black mould literally from top to bottom. We were unable to get replenishment of any hot drink sachets as the reception was closed. In fact, for the whole of our two nights stay we didn't see any member of staff at all. All in all a very unpleasant experience which we won't be doing again.

Nice selection of sandwiches and cakes,very nice seating area and attentive staff with nothing too much for the customers needs.

A very pleasurable way to send a Thursday afternoon sat in the bay window enjoying afternoon tea here at the Donington Manor, one of the best I have had. Many thanks to James and his team for making us welcome, we will be back.

Wunderschön. Nah bei Donington Rennstrecke
