The Priest House Hotel

GH09/11

Location

Just four and a half miles from East Midlands Airport and even less to Donington Park racing circuit, it is a place to enjoy the finest food and indulge in good living. When you drive through the dense woodland that fringes the winding country lane that leads to The Priest House Hotel in Castle Donington, you discover a hotel in Derbyshire, which is perched in a picturesque setting on the banks of the River Trent. The original watermills on the site of The Priest House were mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. Today, this is a country house with a difference. As you step inside you will find elegant contemporary surroundings designed with minimalist simplicity.
