Amazing! We were initially put in Room 3 which we found a little disappointing for what we had paid. We asked for Room 5 (our very favourite room) and we were delighted to change rooms (although slightly confused why we hadn’t been offered that one first?). Room 5 was stunning and impeccably clean and inviting, although very ( a little too) warm on arrival
Our bar meal was excellent, the bar manager was wonderful and kept the real fire stoked all evening which enhanced the cosy pub experience.
Breakfast was amazing and the staff as always were exceptional.
The homemade shortbread biscuits which we enjoyed with coffee in our room were truly delicious.
We live less than half an hour away and this has become our once yearly treat. A truly fabulous country hotel with excellent food and impeccable service. Thanks all!

Nothing was too much trouble; breakfast at 6:30am, moving reservations to the bar area, even booking tables at other venues - Superb

The bed was awful, just 2 single beds put together , no topper so it was very uncomfortable and sloped into the middle , awful 😣
5.0
Lovely hotel - very cosy and festive over the New Year period. Pretty gardens with a river running at the bottom. Slightly disappointed not to have had a dog bed or any bowls considering the additional dog charge. There was some confusion with the level of service between the restaurant and the hotel which left us waiting for our meal alone in the bar area. However, staff were very friendly.

Was a wonderfully pleasant and comfortable refuge after a long day walking the Peak District. Late afternoon tea in the lounge and a short walk to Grouse and Claret for supper.
3.0
A pleasant enough place and very comfortable - but all a little overpriced for what it was considering there are no facilities such as spa or pool. £82 for three courses at dinner felt very steep albeit the food was very good.
A hassle having to call reception for milk. Most irritating is that the website and leaflets say they offer discounts for Haddon hall, but when we asked they said they claimed no knowledge of this and said they no longer do them.
But the staff were all very nice and the service was pretty good. The location is also great.

Absolutely lovely in all respects. Staff were wonderful.
2.0
This is a lovely little hotel. The staff were more than accommodating. However the entrance to the hotel was very disappointing as we’re the grounds. It just needed a good old tidy up and weeded. Such a shame. The breakfast was excellent as was the bar good but the bar menu was very limited and felt like an afterthought to the rather expensive restaurant options.

Delightful 17th century, great history, roaring fire, great ambience, good service & attentive staff.
Wonderful food, a very pleasant stay.

The place was lovely but no fridge in room and I feel for the money you could have better bathrooms.

This is a fantastic hotel in a beautiful location. My husband and I came for our anniversary on the way up to Yorkshire from London. The staff were brilliant and handled all the Covid restrictions really well. We had Sunday lunch with some of the best roast beef I’ve ever had. We had an evening walk up Church lane which became rolling fields, hills and forest- spectacular. I can’t recommend this place enough.

A short break - lovely Hotel near Haddon and Chatsworth - hotel offers discounted entry for both. We were travelling with a dog, a little restricted to be honest with limited places you could actually sit with a dog, we had good weather so it did not matter. Derbyshire seems to be a bit behind the times in regards to dog policy as a whole - the staff were very dog friendly however. We will be back

For the price we paid, we would expect a larger room, a bath, a fridge, and more accessible power points to charge our iPhones. The restaurant menu was bizarre and we are world travellers, so it’s not as if we have never stayed in a hotel before.

Hotel built in 1652, full of character. Very well trained staff, particularly in the restaurant. Nice touches such as a turn down service at nighttime and a chocolate left on the pillow.

Lovely two-night break with excellent evening meals. Good-sized smart and comfortable bedroom with two comfortable armchairs in the room.
2.5
A lovely stay with polite, efficient and professional staff, comfortable surroundings in a delightful setting. The food was first class, the best I have experienced in restaurant without a Michelin star, surely this is overdue. Don’t expect bargain bucket prices but do expect the low key exceptional service to leave you feeling pampered and knowing that you have been given a stay to remember.

Superb hotel. Excellent food. Accommodating staff. Great base for walks, Chatsworth etc.

I loved this cute property! They do everything possible to make your stay pleasant.
