Reviews for Donington Cottage
Review 1：As soon as you went in you got a good feeling to the place. Helen the owner was friendly, the place was comfortable and clean. good breakfast. There is also a very good bus service to the airport that runs every hour, just outside the cottage.
Review 2：It was my second time at Donington Cottage and everything was perfect, again. Highly recommended by me and many of my colleagues! Only 5 minutes by bus from EMA Airport.
Review 3：I had a couple of problems booking online but persevered and secured a booking. Glad I did as I had an excellent stay, very clean, lovely property and friendly staff. Definitely will stay again next time I am in the area.
Review 4：I came up for 3 nights with a couple of friends as we were going to Donington Park. It was perfect, just 5 minutes up the road. The owners were so lovely, friendly accommodating and nothing was too much. Would definitely stay again. :D
Review 5：The landlady allowed me to check-in early. Good facilities in the room and also use of a small kitchen downstairs. Everything was very convenient with 24x 7 bus service to and from East Midlands Airport
Review 6：There was nothing I didn't like. Except the beam in the hall I hit my head on despite being warned several times by the owner Helen
Review 7：Great location. Friendly welcome. Comfortable spotlessly clean rooms. Great breakfast. Good wifi. Well done Helen

Review 10：Loved everything...
Review 11：Very warm welcome, we arrived early but Helen was great she allowed us to leave our bags in our room even though it was still being cleaned.We walked around Castle Donington and had a great time having a meal and a few beers. Breakfast was offered ie cereal because we had to be up at 3am to get the bus to East Midlands airport which by the way was on time and very convenient. My hubby woke up at 3am and had his breakfast plenty of choice. We will definatly be booking Donington Cottage again. Just got back from our holiday and will definitely be staying at Donington Cottage next year before we fly.
Review 12：Warm welcome and made to feel at home straight away. Rooms were spotless and beds really comfortable. Breakfasts were freshly cooked and a great start to the day. Hosts really helpful and full of local info. A superb B&B and great value for money.
Review 13：Excellent location for village and racing circuit. Easy to find, good car parking. Very clean and good facilities. Excellent breakfast. Would have been nice to stay a little longer.
Review 14：I would have liked ironing facilities in the room. and the road outside was quite noisy.
Review 15：I received a very warm welcome from Helen. My room was basic but very clean and cosy. I was staying alone and I felt comfortable and safe. The room had a TV with lots of freeview channels and free wifi. Breakfast was great!
Review 16：Very welcoming, car park behind the Cottage (i.e. not on the road) very comfortable, good breakfast and good value as a single traveller and perfect location for Donington race circuit.
Review 17：Could not access internet from room or reception.
Review 18：As noted above plus; location (easy short walk to restuarants etc). Car parking off road. Genuinely warm and chatty welcome from Helen. Very clean, light and roomy bedroom and an interesting building.
Review 19：Nothing
Review 20：We had a lovely friendly welcome from Helen, the owner. The room was very comfortable and despite being on the ground floor and facing the road, it was well sound-proofed. Helen's breakfasts are excellent and for evening meals there is the Nags Head about 400 yds away for superb food.
Review 21：The beds are terrible. Only a bottom madrasse making the sleep very uncomfy. The B&B is appr 5 mtrs from a very busy road, a lot of noise from traffic. No blinds to cover the windows, making sleep during daytime impossible.
Review 22：The owner is nice and tried to accomodate my requests. WiFi works fine.
Review 23：Wonderful owners and accommodations. Very great experience from bed to full English breakfast. Ample parking and great location. My room had to share a bath room but I am alright with that.
Review 24：No negatives
Review 25：Lovely warm welcome from Helen and Les. Room smelt clean when you walk in. Very tastefully decorated. Free wi-fi. Kitchen area with fridge, microwave, toaster if you want to cook up a quick snack Bus stop close if going to the airport or racetrack. Short walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. Great breakfast in the morning. Helen was a perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money, I have paid double this for places which haven't been as good.

Review 28：Good cooked breakfast, easy walk to a pub for evening meal, off-road parking
