This former coaching inn dates back to 1649, and offers free Wi-Fi and à la carte dining. It is situated in the historic village of Repton, an area that was once the capital of the Saxon kingdom of Mercia. The Boot Inn retains some traditional features, including oak beams, old fireplaces, and sash windows. Before becoming a hotel, it was first a brewery, and has also been a bakery and a boot-making site. Rooms at The Boot Inn are simply furnished, with a TV and facilities for making tea and coffee. Some have their own bathrooms, while others have shared bathroom facilities. You can enjoy traditional and modern dishes in the restaurant, and a tapas menu is also available. Each morning, a full cooked breakfast is provided. Outdoor seating is available in the garden and courtyard. Alton Towers is a 35-minute drive from the building, while Derby can be reached in under 20 minutes. Nottingham is a 40-minute drive away.
