The Hardinge Arms is a traditional rural pub with rooms that I found a very pleasant place to spend the night before heading to nearby Donington Park.

The room was a little on the small side but had reasonable space for the two single beds and also had a very useful fridge (handy to keep a packed lunch fresh overnight!) and was perfectly clean. 

The bathroom and shower were clean also, and as the rooms are in outbuildings some do allow for parking outside them (handy if you're a bit precious of your car!)

Dinner at the hotel was traditional pub food, reasonably priced and very tasty. The cooked breakfast in the morning was also very nice

A traditional pub that's a great place to stay

Stayed here for download for the second year running and love the place. Perfectly situated for what we need. 

Lovely clean room. Rocket and Caz are lovely, so warm and welcoming. Very accommodating and nothing is a bother.  Good hearty breakfast. Can’t wait to be back next year

Lovely stay

I was staying over for a business trip. I left booking to the last minute so unfortunately not a lot of choice. 
As I entered the pub, a drunk man fell into me. I ordered a chicken curry and went to my room. 
I came back and the food was delivered (staff member was lovely).
The curry tasted awful and was very watery. The poppadum was dripping in fat. Naan was dry and tiny. 
I didn’t eat the meal and went to my room. It was dirty; there was toilet roll in the toilet. The shower head didn’t stand up. The room was very dated and felt dirty. There were flies buzzing about too.
The TV didn’t work with the remote. And at 10pm a stench of some awful food smell just filled the room which made me feel sick. I put my head under the duvet and went to sleep as soon as I could so I could get out of there quickly in the morning!!

Not a good experience

Overpriced worst Sunday lunch! 
Went once and will never return - ever! 
£15.99  - we were expecting a nice big plate of traditional Sunday comfort food. 

Oh hell no!!!! 

3 mingy (2 for the kids)  very small roast potatoes so over cooked and hard, with any palatable potatoes inside 👀 they felt like stones. Roast potatoes are part of the joy of a Sunday lunch! 

Well, not here…at…all! Lots of boiled new potatoes served, but I’ve never been served boiled  new potatoes in my life. 
Very small Yorkshire pudding 
The beef was overdone and no questions asked how we like it cooked

There seemed to be quite a few dogs in there too. One or 2 but not 5+ Yuk! 🤮
Unsanitary and unhygienic. 
Wine selection - very cheap wines.. 

And to top it off, we went with three children all under 10 and we waited for 40 minutes to be served and the restaurant was not full… what the heck! 
Children started to get restless (as expected) even us as adults were like …”what are they doing in that kitchen?”

The chicken - served as a breast of chicken with no skin on - for those who had chicken looked grey, dry and unpalatable … 

The gravy was decent though and vegetable portions too but the rest 

Simply a disaster and we will never frequent there again for good. 

Avoid if you like and enjoy a PROPER Sunday  roast and don’t want to walk out like a skeleton having to wait so long! 

Avoid! 


Truly disappointing, OVERPRICED what this place is claiming to be Sunday Roast! AVOID! 

Definitely recommend for a family event I would definitely come back again because off the staff and food also it was a good atmosphere

100 percent recommended 

I had a steak wich was amazing the beer was very good.          

We will definitely be coming back

Amazing pub great atmosphere

Met by very friendly , attentive and accommodating staff. The room was immaculately clean with tea, coffee and biscuits. The food we had at the restaurant in the pub and a few second walk from our room was absolutely amazing. Our every need was taken care of swiftly and efficiently. We would most definitely come back and it’s so convenient for East Midlands Airport.

Amazing stay for the price

I stayed one night for business. Food was basic, good quality and goo portion size. Room was large, clean and had all I needed.

The night I stayed there was a crow scarer going off all night, not the pubs fault but it did mean my sleep was interrupted. Breakfast was good.

Thank you for having me.



Good Clean Accommodation 

Stayed a night in one of the rooms, given keys not shown to room - bit of a welcome after a 3.5 hour journey up. Found room to be greeted by numerous spiders and webs around the corners of the room. Poor interior, very out of date but room had obviously not been cleaned. A hoover would’ve done the job! Bathroom out of date and mould in the shower. Peeled back the duvet to climb into my bed to find mould on my bedsheets and pillows that were thin and uncomfortable. 100% would not recommend and won’t be coming back.

Poor, dirty rooms

We visited here as a family with my parents for Sunday lunch. The outside of the pub is really pretty with all the flowers and the bumble bees floating around the lavender. 
The pub has a nice, homey feel and staff were really friendly.
The Sunday lunch was really nice, we thought more vegetables could have been served but other than that the meat was great and was nice and hot and fresh.
The 3 starters on offer were a bit boring which was a shame. 
The main thing that let's this place down for us is the fact that dogs are allowed in! They can't go in the restaurant part but they are still in a walk through where the waitress has to walk with your food. 
For us, this is a real turn off in any eatery. 
Not a fan of dogs shaking their hair where food is being served!!! 

Great Sunday Lunch

popped by for a family meal - couldn't resist pie - great value - good beer - friendly staff looked after us very well
an oak-beamed pub with character, fascinating photos of the village on the wall
booking again soon
