Although the food was good and the service was friendly & personal, the hotel generally was dirty. For example the toilets near the mackworth suite in particular were dirty. The electrical wire to the heater in toilet was covered in dirt and dust. The doors were grubby, the decor generally needed a refurb. My son and daughter in law were... More

Stayed here for 3 nights as a base for visiting Alton Towers as only half an hours drive away. Paid a very reasonable price for a family room, much cheaper than Travelodge, Premier Inn etc and cooked breakfast included. Room was good size with double bed, single bed and extra fold up bed easily suitable for our teenagers, and an... More

My wife and I stayed at the Mackworth whilst visiting our son and family who live nearby. My son got married here some years ago when the family took evey room and we stayed here again last year. Standards are just as high as they have always been and we always look forward to visiting this hotel. The cooked to... More

We stayed in the family room at the hotel and my parents had their 50th wedding anniversay party in the function room. The room was large, warm, cosy but modern decor with fantastic views over the countryside. Although we would have preferred a bath we had an ensuite shower room. All very clean. WE had to leave before breakfastr was... More

We booked on line through Marstons inns website and got a really good rate on the room plus 20% off our food bill. Friendly, efficient welcome, nice room, clean and all facilities working well. (Radiator wouldn't turn down so very warm, hence the mark down on sleep quality, but this is being dealt with we were told, so shouldn't be... More

Stayed for two nights between Christmas and New Year to attend a funeral. Small room but warm and comfortable over the entrance. Big bathroom with huge bathand excellent shower. Good breakfast and wifi included in the room rate which was a special of £30.00 per night. No one could grumble at that! Many thanks for making a sad experience bearable. More

We were at a party at the hotel and stayed overnight, the room was very clean and well-equipped, the heating did not seem to be working but there was an oil-filled radiator in the room and a heated towel rail in the bathroom, some instructions on their use would have been nice. We were early for breakfast and the service... More

I would have loved to have given the hotel an Excellent rating but the room we stayed in was looking a little tired especially in the bathroom, although very clean and presentable. The radiators didnt seem powerful enough to keep the room warm enough. Please don't take these comments as a reason not to go as it wouldn't prevent us... More

Stayed at the Hotel on a friday night . Visit started badly when we were given a room with paint flacking off the wall & freezing cold. After speaking with the manager we were imediatly given a much better & bigger room with a good garden view. This really was the only negative of the visit . The location &... More
