“Elegant and charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Lovely central position and delightful period house. Having a suite was a delight and the room had everthing one might need. Jenny was a gracious hostess and the breakfast was lovely. A small gripe is that, as vegetarians, we always feel a bit cheated that breakfast is the same as meat eaters would have, minus meat. At the top end of the price range being offered a veggie sausage or bacon would have been appreciated.

“Nice boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I would recommend this hotel. Our room was really small and the bathroom tiny but the decor was tasteful and really well finished with modern decor in the bathroom but lots of period features in the room and around the hotel. The breakfast room is spectacular and our excellent cooked breakfast was included in the price. The whole hotel was spotless and the staff friendly and helpful. If I have to go back to Derby I would stay here again.

“Well above expectations, will stay again.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

I booked at short notice, and was given a small but perfect room in the self - contained Cottage, (the main house being full) it was beautifully decorated and furnished.( plenty of windows!1) Clean and comfortable. Had everything I could wish for, including copious reading material! So much care and love put into the interior décor. Hosts Jenny and Robin were extremely friendly, breakfasts delicious!
