We dined here on a Saturday evening. The service was excellent and the food really good. Each course was very well presented and matched expectations. The wine we had was the best we had tasted recently so, all round, a very pleasant evening and thoroughly recommended. More

After my previous visit, when the propietors generously donated to a Children in Need auction an evening for six at The Chef's Table, I had to ensure that we "won". And win we did, in some style. We had to wait for the right night to go, but we chanced upon the first evening of Chef Simon Bradley's new gastro... More

It took an hour to be served cold, flavourless food which was overprised and pretentious, looked pretty, but didn't deliver on taste. As regular diners in 2 and 3 rosette restaurents we chose to drive the 35 or so miles to East Lodge, Rowsley for Easter Sunday lunch. The traffic was busier than we had anticipated. Our lunch booking was... More

Located off the A road but, given the size of the grounds, you would never have known that. Well furnished hotel with friendly staff who were happy to recommend good local eating places. We had room 5 which was above the reception area but had no trouble with noise (it is a small hotel afterall). The room was large and... More

We married here in 2007 and have been back every year to celebrate our anniversary. Our wedding was truly wonderful and it just gets better each year. The surroundings are beautiful, the hotel is spotless, the bedrooms are luxurious and very comfortable, the food is amazing and the staff are impeccable. We have visited in between anniversaries for lunch and... More

It had been my birthday during the week and on saturday my husband [bless his little cotton socks] surprised me with a meal at the East Lodge Country House Hotel. I knew nothing about it until I had to start getting ready and even then he didn't tell me where we were going. I had never seen this hotel so... More

First time ever I write a review, but really felt I had to. I can't believe we pay what we paid for such poor quality. Even hotels in central London are better value for money. Worth mentioning: - we had one of the larger rooms. It has a huge TV in the bedroom and even a TV in the bathroom.... More

I bought my friend and I champagne afternoon tea at East Lodge as a birthday pressie for her, and it was absolutely awesome :) Dainty finger sandwiches, superb cakes, large selection of teas and a large glass of champage each. We couldn't finish it, as there was so much! Beautiful setting, lots of free parking, lovely helpful staff. Can't fault... More

We stayed at East Lodge for a few days over the weekend and had a lovely stay there. We found the staff helpful and friendly. Ate in the restaurant each night and had excellent food; can recommend the tasting menus. The location is perfect for Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Bakewell etc. We had the downstairs room, perfect for me... More
