Had a lovely stay! It’s a short walk from the city center and the shops there which is pretty convenient, very close to the airport as well. The apartment was everything I needed and the kitchen proved to be very useful! Everything is renovated and well organized, would recommend to everyone staying in Castle Donington!

Great location for visiting Donington circuit, lovely comfortable bed, clean shower and toilet. Hosts really helpful, would definitely stay here again if visiting, only knocked a star off as quite a bit of road noise through the window but not too much of a problem.

I stayed for two nights, clean and simple en-suite room, road can be a bit noisy if you're a light sleeper though so ear plugs are a good idea. Breakfast was very nice too.
