A fantastic location, peaceful and picturesque. The hotel/house was magnificent and decorated tastefully and and stylish. Our room was beyond expectation. Beautiful views from large bay windows and a very handy and comfortable Chez Long to take it all in from. Spacious yet cosy, well decorated and set out. The roll top bath made for easy relaxation. Afternoon tea was fab, followed by a walk through the gardens and down to the river. The staff were both professional and friendly. Very helpful and cheery. Breakfast was a treat, the food was really tasty. We totally recommend a visit and stay here, and will be doing so ourselves again. Thank you everyone for making our stay as great as it was.

A beautiful building in a beautiful location. We were served cream tea on arrival which included the most delicious scones we have ever tasted. Dinner was fabulously cooked and presented and we were served by two very friendly, polite and helpful waitresses who actually seemed happy to be there. Breakfast was the same, obviously good quality food and very well cooked and presented. An altogether wonderful relaxing experience and we definitely hope to visit again.

There was absolutely nothing to find fault with.

Beautiful property in a beautiful setting and the staff were friendly, polite and accommodating. We were given a free upgrade of room which made the stay extra special. Breakfast was very nice, tasty, hot, presented well and the produce was fresh and of high quality. Room attendant was polite and replenished the room with cold water, both still and sparkling. She also bought mother a fresh cup of coffee which was a lovely gesture.

There wasn’t a lift and 92 year old mother found the stairs difficult.

Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful with any small queries we had. Dinner was far better than anything we had expected with a beautiful view, and service was immaculate. Manager took time to speak to each of the guests in the morning at breakfast. Very comfy beds and lovely, peaceful location.

To be expected in an older hotel, but noise travelled from reception to our room quite clearly - only really an issue in the early morning. Usually wouldn't be a problem at all, but TV signal was a bit patchy while trying to watch the Rugby World Cup. Certainly nothing that spoilt a lovely stay!

Dinner & Breakfast - all very good. Service was excellent, the Hotel was well mainbtained and clean. The gardens in particular are superb and well worth a walk around if you have the time.

No lift in original builkding - but its only 1 floor. They cant do anythign about it without HUGE expense and possibly destroying the character of the place - so pelase DONT put the lift in. Plenty of ground level rooms and suits however

Excellent location and mostly comfortable. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. Lovely dining room with an ideal view to the gardens.

The duvet had too much tog. I was sweating a good deal and got up for a pee to come back to wet sheets which made it uncomfortable. I would recommend putting a lower tog duvet on the bed with a 'throw'. My wife did not enjoy her evening meal as the fish was very dry but the hotel gave us a refund which was very gracious.

The staff and the dining room

The decoration was tired. The paint was flaking on the windows. No facility for EV cars to charge. A light appeared one night above the curtains and we couldn’t turn it off. When we told them in the morning the reception staff seemed to think it was amusing - we did not.

Very welcoming helpful and accomodating staff. Brilliant communication before the booking. Delicious and filling breakfast. Lovely dinner that was most accomodating to our dietary needs. Muslim friendly if given enough notice :-) We had dinner and afternoon tea - all excellent quality. Herbs picked fresh from their garden. They very kindly upgraded us to their bridal suite for our wedding anniversary and the room was beautiful. Big sash windows with sunlight pouring in in the morning. Very good wifi available too. Ample parking. Beautiful dining place in the conservatory with gorgeous views of south derbyshire

The grounds are ample but in need of a little more maintenance. What has been developed is beautiful but it is a lot of ground I guess to up keep. It's a more traditional and smaller hotel so be weary that the room service finishes when the chef finishes and leaves for the night. No telephone in the room but I guess no need for it if there's no overnight service.

Wonderful building and nice grounds , good breakfast, very spacious bathroom, very efficient Young lady at night when we arrived late taken care of our need to have freezer pack frozen. Same young lady at breakfast just as good. Bianca was helpful at check out, but that was just the start , 30 mins after we left I got a call she’d found my DD card in car park and rang straight away so we could return and collect it. All staff nice.

There was a fan , but it was still warm in the room, but there was good window ventilation,

Room was really lovely, comfortable bed, nice toiletries provided. Breakfast was really good too. Location is very pretty

Although I loved the bathroom, the shower wasn't much more than a trickle and the shower curtain was really difficult to pull round. Ditch the fake flowers and plants in the public areas, they look tired and either need replacing or just removing
