We got a great dinner bed & breakfast deal with this hotel. ?128 for two people. This included a 3 course meal (a la carte choice - very nice food) the room (similar facilities & size as a travel lodge for the classic double, but more old fashionly decorated) and a lovely cooked to order breakfast (buffet also available). The restaurant felt like our own living room, and the staff were fantastic. We're going again on the same deal in two weeks and I can't wait!

Stayed at Ansty Hall for one night in December. Got a good r/o rate off their website and as a result stayed in one of the out-buildings (not within the hall itself). These outbuildings were just a few yards walk from the main reception. The hotel itself is rather grand looking from the outside, however the hall itself (downstairs only - reception, bar and library lounge) are looking a little tired and dated. Don't get me wrong, they are comfortable and clean but it would really lift the grandure of the hotel if a bit of money was spent. Nethertheless it still has a country feel about itself which is nice. The bedrooms (in the outbuildings) were likewise, decorated to early 90's standards; spacious, comfortable, but really lacked style. Didn't eat within the hotel, took some advice from a previous report and ate in the pub a short walk away. Food there was good and reasonably priced. Did have a few drinks within the hotel, staff were courteous, however drink prices were not cheap. I think a pint of Guinness was about £3.40. Summary: The hotel was fine for what we paid for it. We didnt stay in the hall itself so can't comment on the rooms there but our room was adequat but nothing to write home about. Had a problem with our shower (kept going cold!) which I reported on the customer comments card (couldn't be bother to complain at the time). Just last week received a letter from the hotel stating that they were looking into the problem - just goes to show that the hotel management do read those cards.

Ansty Hall is a first class hotel in a quiet location but very convenient for the motorway network to the East Midlands. We had an excellent room in the large annex and it did not matter that the lift was not working. Our dinner was excellent. First class food cooked to perfection and served quietly but professionally. The breakfast buffet was also very, very good with an extremely wide range of items. If Macdonalds can reach this standard in all their hotels they will soon be the top hotel group in the UK.

I returned to Ansty Hall last week and was pleasantly suprised. The only thing that let the hotel down previously was the overstretched staff. This has now been rectified and the staff are far more composed and there for your every need. When I commented on the improvement, I was informed that there had been a change in management earlier in the year. It's amazing what a difference a few key people can have - previously one person covered front of house, the bar and any other requirements. There are now dedicated staff for each area and they are all very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Well done MacDonald Hotels!
