The staffwere nice, polite and helpful.Attentive staff, adequate parking, good breakfast (although pricey if not included in BandB rate). Friendly staff and a good breakfast menu along with a good location for working or visiting in the east midlands. Close to a good network of roads in all directions.On the contrary, have already recommended to friends.Could have done with more variety of vegetables on the menu.Menu same every day but palatable enough.N/A. There were "real ale" pumps on display in the bar but were for display only - no real ale at all.I was expecting an old world atmosphere, but it was all very modern, except the bar.no sofa in room. Could do with a guest lounge. The only place to sit and relax when the bar isn't open is in reception.Decor was looking a little tired. Parking was a bit tight. evening meal, poor ,microwave ping from the kitchen was a clue. Bar only open in the evening. Needs redecorating. The price was sufficient to have included breakfast. The bathroom was very outdated, although clean. Also the bed was themost uncomfortable I have ever slept on.There seems to be a trend everywhere towards really soft beds and I don't know anyone who likes them - the Old Wisteria seems to be following that trend, however.Clean but looking 'tired' in the rooms and bathroom.Food poor - meat and fish very dry and scrambled eggs grey, dry and tastless. Query whether food was recooked and then microwaved.
