The Lawns Hotel

Okayish place

aphazard parking by others made parking difficult on arrival. Maybe car park lines need to be redone? Interesting that it’s called the Lawns when there wasn’t a lawn? Wasn’t clear where to go to book in, but was ushered inside by helpful person having a drink outside. Was shown quickly to my room by helpful member of staff. Room was clean and tidy and looked recently refurbished. Nice modern shower room. New hard flooring looked nice but needed attention to detail (gaps between planks). Carpet was worn and had threads pulled from it. Bed looked welcoming, but when I sat on it, it was rock hard and the edges of the mattress were higher than the centre. Maybe could benefit from a new mattress? Lots of pillow choice, however, one of the pillow cases I had a tear in it. Door to shower room kept half closing, so I walked into it a few times as I went into the room and turned round to come out again. The shower cubicle was spacious and clean. New wiring in the wardrobe on view. When I returned in the evening (Saturday night, 10.15) music was playing to guests outside the pub, which finished before midnight. My room was on the back of the building, but it could be heard. Continental breakfast was cereal, toast and jam/marmalade/marmite, a croissant and a pain au chocolate, orange or apple juice and a cup of tea or coffee. Breakfast took place in the bar, maybe because of renovations? Staff friendly and welcoming.

All in all a good stay, staff were the best thing. Very friendly and helpful. Food in evening also good. Room was comfortable on whole, but my only criticism would be the bathroom was dated and felt cramped due to old fashioned style bath/shower. In any case, I would stay again if in area on work.

Staff very friendly food was delicious and the sleep was good

Stayed for 2 nights during a business trip and would definitely stay again. My room was in the main part of the hotel. It was large, clean and had everything I needed. Bed was comfortable, somewhere to hang my clothes, a hairdryer and teas/coffee's. The toiletries were lovely and plenty of towels (in fact, too many for me!). We had an evening meal during our stay, I had the chicken basket and a colleague had the burger. Both meals were great portion sizes, hot and delicious. The manager was lovely, nothing was too much trouble for her and she always made sure I had 2 cups of tea! Breakfast was continental, although you can have a cooked breakfast for an extra cost. On-site parking available too. I would definitely stay again.

Overall the property and the staff were very good in all areas. Thank you.

The room is above a pub so initial part of night was quite noisy Also you can hear footsteps in corridor and adjoining room The window in the room was also slightly open despite my best effort Otherwise clean and good place to stay

The Lawns Pie Night.(What a Rip off) Just been to the Lawns Hotel, to try their promotional "Pie Night". A better title would have been " Pie Taster Night" or "Share a Pie Night". The portion of Pie was minuscule and the quality very poor. It's very unfortunate the people of Chellaston have little choice locally when it comes to Pub food meaning the Lawns can get away with this. My advise make the effort to travel a little further if you are looking for quality food it will be worth it.

Pillows had no protectors and we're stained really bad. Asked them to replace or double case. On Return they'd re cased the original pillows I'd left out but only once. Only 2 mid size towels so asked g I r more and ended up sleeping on the towels. Tv was minuscule as was room and bathroom dated and dusty skirt boards and pictures. Stupid plug system above high up TV, no room for clothes or cases. Small kettle with only 2 plugs by bed not enough for devices! Mismatched cups saucers.. It's all tired and not worth 75£ a night. No idea re bar or meals glad to leave. Will not return or recommend
