The rooms were a good size with living and kitchen room separate bedroom. The rooms could be very nice but was lacking on the clean side with dust and some maintenance needed. Wanted to make an hot drink on arrival but only one cup so had to go and buy some, there was no cloth to dry cups up after washing. Didn't use the dishes as they were dusty. There was a lack of shelving in the bathroom to put toiletries away. Contact with the owners was excellent.

Great for a stay away for work.

Stayed a few times now and would stay again. Very convenient for my work. Free on site parking is great and well lit. Rooms have everything needed for a few nights away. Close to local amenities.

Perfect overnight stop

Very pleasant and comfortable overnight stay. We were attending a wedding nearby and it was an early start. Adjacent pub, The Plough served amazing food and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay

I stayed in room 4, it was clean, comfortable with free o site parking, great communication for codes to get in to the complex and your apartment. I would highly recommend. Only thing missing in the room was a corkscrew and a spatular for the frying pan.

Very convenient, central location for our needs to get to Antiques Fairs . Large, clean room / ensuite. Codes to access building and room where semt in plenty of time. One slight issue was codes given to access room had to be reset but while that was happening we were made very welcome in the pub /resteraunt next door while we waited. Comfotable bed and comfortable stay - would book again .

Night away

Apartment was nice and bed was very comfortable. The only problem issue was the room was very cold. It would be nice if the heater had been turned on before arrival.

Basic accommodation, 2nd time at this location, different apartment, sits right on the road, so if traffic noise is a problem then this is for you, apartment have a kitchen, but no oven trays, floors require to be mopped as very dirty, despite looking clean, as you'll find out, on the whole it was acceptable

Basic!

All the basics but not luxurious. Check-in details not sent in advance; pub next door shut; poor lighting in main room. Bed comfortable but sharp corners on bed base lethal! Some road noise.

Nice modern room with separate lounge-kitchen

Room (#1) size was large with bedroom, en-suite and separate lounge-kitchen area. Overall condition of rooms was good. TV in lounge had failed a test and had notice not to use, lounge has large windows and blinds did not work which limited privacy. Bed was reasonably comfortable and double glazed windows limited road noise (low volume of traffic). Shower worked well, no hot water for a shave, so boiled a kettle. Pub below is nice, had a good lunch.

3/5

Pleasantly surprised. Was really impressed with the comfort of the bed and sofa, and the overall presentation of the place. When I did take my socks off however, the floorboards in the bedroom and living room were sticky and felt as though they hadn’t been cleaned for a while. That is however my only negative. Would recommend to stay.

One night was more than enough

The apartment was very dirty! Floors not cleaned, filthy shower and bed sheets were as if someone else had slept in. The springs on mattress protrude and stick in your back! Radiator hanging off bathroom wall.that said if this flat was tidied up and cleaned would be fine and it’s in a lovely area.It was warm and had a cute kitchen. Unfortunately I won’t be staying again.

It was freshly painted and could of been nice wuth a bit of tjought, the bedding was very old, not matching as it was twin beds, the towels were very old and mis matched, the cushions were scruffy and the duvets awful....the shower room and toilet was excellent and potentially this could be good with a bit more thought in the furnishings and maybe put the heating on before a guest arrive to make it more cosy, none of these things would cost a lot , but would make it look lovely...bedding and duvets etc are very reasonable in all supermarkets.

The Plough Retreat September 2023

We must have stayed on one of the hottest weekend of the year, luckily the room had a fan, which helped move the air around a bit, the rooms are facing a very busy road, with traffic running 24/7, which can be a bit noisy, even with the windows closed. The cleaness of the room I would give an 8 put 10, mold around the window and the laminated flooring which looked clean, left the soles of our feet black as we soon discovered, apart from that the room was comfortable and served our needs. It's an ideal location for ourselves to visit the newly located LRO show at Belvoir Castle along with the Castle and surrounding area, the hotel located approximately 18 miles from the hotel

Wouldn’t recommend

Disappointed with room, cold - one radiator didn’t appear to work and one needed reprogramming in order to get warmth. The duvet was thin meaning we were cold during the night, and the bed was uncomfortable, so much so we nearly got up and drove home. Shower had black mould on head & pipe. There was a dirty towel, wedged behind the door on the bathroom floor. I went to use a beaker and saw that it was stained so gave up using anything in the kitchen.
