Breakfast was very good - would definately recommend for any one who wants to stay for any motorbike track days or BSB/WSB its... More

The B&B website says check in from 11:30am but at 11:50 the place was locked with no one around. The owner is a little overbearing. He like everyone to know who is boss. The room was dated and poorly decorated. Water was either scalding or cold, including the shower. No mini fridge even though the website says so. Breakfast is... More

Stayed here a couple of times now, always made to feel welcome. Food is superb as is the breakfast. Rooms a little dated but hey, it is not a 5 star hotel :-) Ideal if your looking for something cheap and cheerful close to East Midlands Airport or Donington Park circuit.

Stayed here for business. On arrival was met by the owner and his wife. As commented in other reviews the owners seem to spend an awful lot of time sat in the bar area. I did feel that this was rather intimidating. The room was a reasonable size however the extract vent from the kitchen was just outside one window... More

I visited here in July 2007. I was dating someone at the time who thought this place was the bees-knees. We went on a Sunday which had a indian buffet on. The place was full so we were directed to the bar for drinks where the owner was serving behind the bar and attempting to be charming. I didn't think... More

The Melbourne Arms was a novelty for me - a hotel and Indian restaurant. The location on the outskirts of Melbourne village is attractive. There's plent of car-parking space. My room was clean, neat and satisfactory, although the useful fridge was a bit noisy. I was in a ground floor room in a single storey extension, and the ceiling showed... More

Stayed here with a friend for 2 nights, from the outset the barman had an 'attitude' he was rude, and we were obviously being a nuisance ordering drinks. Ate in the restaurant that night, the owner insisted my friend changed from her choice of korma, to something else, which she had to send back as it was to spicy. The... More

I planned to visit Calke Abbey the following day and wanted to find somewhere local and independent, different to the Travel Inn etc. experience. I found The Melbourne Arms on Laterooms.com, and booked on a whim-I thought at 35 quid a night I won't get anything special, but why not give it a try? I was pleasantly surprised! The welcome...
