The village of Aston-on-Trent is situated about a mile from the River Trent.
Aston-on-Trent is a small Derbyshire village near the city of Derby in the East Midlands region of England. Visitors to Aston-on-Trent will find no hotels within the village limits, but they can go to the nearby outlying area of Castle Donington to find accommodations. Derby, on the other hand, has many hotels within its borders as it's more heavily traveled for both business and pleasure. While accommodations around Aston-on-Trent are almost all privately owned boutique-style hotels, Derby is home to a small number of larger, international properties.
Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel
The Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel, just outside of Aston-on-Trent, features a number of carefully restored brick-and-timber barns that were originally constructed in the 17th century. Two of the rooms inside the barn complex are licensed for civil marriages, while evening events here include barn dances, BBQs and hog roasts.
