We stayed at the farmhouse because we were attending a wedding at the hotel 2mins away- on arrival we were greeted by Peter, friendly and welcoming, a working dairy farm so fresh milk in the room, a good selection of teas and complimentary biscuits.
Mini fridge in the room with complimentary water.
Continual breakfast offered or a 5min walk hotel if you want a hot breakfast

I don't mind admitting that when I saw the reviews of this property, I didn't really think they could all be true. But it makes such a difference having such a welcoming host. Our host was fantastic. Such a difference from a lockbox and a code. He met us at the car, helped us unload, took our suitcase upstairs and there was nothing that was too much trouble for him. The property is very clean, the bed is very comfortable and the supplies of tea and coffee are ample, also a supply of green tea and peppermint tea and biscuits. You don't often get that with most hotels or b&bs. I would have liked to have stayed for breakfast and commented on the breakfast but unfortunately we had other plans for breakfast. I'm sure it would have been lovely though. The property itself is a farmhouse and is really characteristic especially being located on a farm or next to. Just a 10 to 15 minute uber drive into Derby city centre. We will definitely be back.

My son and I stay here for a night after going to download a lovely little b&b quiet and out of the way the safe where really friendly. Breakfast was available however as we had a long drive we left without trying it I'm sure it would have been nice too.

I booked with Peter as I was attending a party at the close by Farmhouse venue. My room was beautifully clean and very comfortable. As the weather was inclement Peter very kindly offered to drop me up to the Farmhouse which is just a few minutes away. However the real favour was when he offered to then collect me at 1.20am in the morning! As a single woman visiting an unknown area I can't tell you how welcome and kind this was. It is unlikely a taxi would have agreed to do a 5 minute trip. I can't say enough about Peter and his team. Such a warm welcome and a very comfortable stay. Thank you so much.

Solo female traveller visiting friends and felt very safe. Lovely host. Shared bathroom facilities but for a one night stay that was no issue. Very comfortable room and lovely breakfast (helped by 2 adorable dogs!)
1.0 / 5.0
The house was lovely and the hosts were great. The only down side of the stay and the house was the smell of smoke that went through the whole house and was even on the towels and dressing gowns. As a non smoker it was something i couldn't get over. It's a real shame as we would have loved to stay again.

The setting was rural despite being so close to the city. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and the breakfast meal and conversation most enjoyable. I would highly recommend it. John

Unbeknown to me there are two hotels in Mackworth with similar names and I booked this hotel in error. Hidden down a country lane, this hotel is a gem. I was welcomed by Peter and Mark to their home. Emerald suite (where i stayed) felt like home from home. The property is located in a quiet area and adjoins a dairy farm. Highly recommended and will be stay here in the future.

Mark and Pete was amazing - very accommodating, polite and kind. Home away from home, loved the two ladies Elsie and Olive (the toast hounds), def would go there again - didn't want to leave as it was like staying with your friends
Room was great and spacious. Would have liked an ensuite, but was not an issue for us

We woke up to our room smelling of smoke. A sore throat from it too...! All of our clothes ended up smelling of cigarette smoke because the owner smoked downstairs! Very frustrating and will end up with some expensive dry cleaning bill for my suits!

Good location just outside Derby, very quiet. Friendly and personable welcome, thanks to Peter! Large room (Amethyst), appreciated the extension leads with USB connections. Great breakfast, thanks to Mark! Would certainly recommend and will be staying again when the opportunity arises.

Quiet, peaceful, rural location. Chickens, cows & superb views.
Have a laugh with your hosts who will make a fuss of your dog, or stay in your cosy, colour co-ordinated room in your waffle dressing gown (provided), relaxing watching superb TV with tea & coffee to hand. Breakfast is a must!
State of the art bathroom, soft towels (provided) & a mind boggling organ in the dining room.

Well worth a visit, I'm so glad I booked, I've made some amazing friends. Facilities are great and the owners are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is excellent and served with a smile. Nice to be able to take the dog and we really felt at home. Don't forget to book your hair and manicure appointment when you book your stay. You will not be disappointed.
