Hotel and staff very good, the grounds lovely, the room although keeping with the ambience of the Gothic hotel the funiture covers were very worn and gruby, the room was hugh and the bathroom too, but both could do with a fresh lick of paint, food very good, in all good value for the money,

We thoroughly enjoyed the two days we had there. We had a room in the summer house which was large. The staff are absolutely lovely, so helpful, and polite.
The rooms were clean and the towels changed each day. Breakfasts were really good, as was the choice of food available. The grounds are great for a good evening walk after the golfers have finished

An amazing building in the Gothic style. We stayed in an executive double room in the main building. When we walked it, it had that real wow factor. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The only slight downside was the restaurant menu, which is rather ordinary and uninspiring: burgers, pizzas, chilli, fish and chips etc. However, the food was well cooked and enjoyable.

Had a lovely couple of days at Donnington Grove. Very relaxed atmosphere, with friendly, attentive staff. The room was charming, clean and very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with a good range of both continental and ‘full English’ items (buffet style for most items, but additional items such as kippers were cooked to order, along with various types of egg if you wanted something other than fried). We also had an evening meal at the hotel which was delicious. Good food cooked well. Menu was ‘bistro pub’ type food - just what we wanted and nothing too pretentious!
