The EV charger in the car park didn’t work properly, and the ones at McDonalds next door were blocked with cones. (We’ve been here before and the chargers are usually okay).

Stayed here many times over the years as it's convenient for Donington racing circuit. It's not a 5 star hotel, but gives excellent value for money in comfortable surroundings. Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the pub making it a convenient stopover. Plenty of free parking as well. Will definitely be visiting again. About 9 miles from Donington.
