Staff excellent, room fantastic

"excellent value excellent food excellent service what more can i say"

very good value for money room upraded to a suite excellent food staff very friendly all in all a very good experience thanks

"I would not wish to put any one off. Great location for watching Chesterfield FC. Great for visting Derbyshire."

Breakfast was excellent. Room was fine. Bar service poor.

Not one team member made any eye contact. I can offer training on how to interact with guests and would be delighted to do so. It was all very perfunctionary. They had no details of my booking but that my well have been the web site that I booked it through rather than the hotel.

"The hotel is very comfortable, the room rate was good value and the room was a pretty good standard in relation to hotels in this rating.The grounds are well kept and well worth while spending a little time relaxing in. "

"very pleased"

great english breakfast, excellent room standard406 and service, nice large bath, plenty of hot water, was offered a jug of coffee whilst waiting for my son to check out.

room 406 was a bit remote, no grab handles on the bath

"very nice place to stay."

excellent gym, pool and breakfast. great views, and very friendly staff

room facilities a bit tired. light fittings and tv a bit old school. could do with an in room fridge too.

Good staff Good food

"We had a really good night at this hotel, the staff were excellent, the evening meal very good,hot and well presented by staff who cared. "

All your questions were answered either good or above, Good Hotel

"great, few more tv channels would be great."

great complex, love the pool. etc

some times a bit expensive, but on the whole, fantastic.

"pleasant enough, reasonable value for money too. "

staff helful and friendly, room in good condition.

only real negative was that the evening meal was rather poor wine very good though

"If you can't sleep, there is little point in using a hotel. Thought the restaurant prices were expensive for the quality of output - either lower the prices or raise the standard."

Rooms are being upgraded.

Food poor. Poor quality of steak. Slow service - probably caused by slow kitchen. Room very warm, with poor ventilation, and pipework that knocked all night. I did not sleep well.

"Enjoyed. Staff friendly and helpful even through it was busy. "

Setting, grounds.

Prefer self serve breakfast but not really a bad point

"generally we loved our stay and would deffinately recommend it to anyone and would intend on staying again with the exception of the privacy or peace in the lounge. many thanks! a beautiful kept hotel indeed!"

excellent! very polite and fast check in and out process. all staff were very polite and coutious.

the only thing we found that each night sat sunday we had to share the lounge with wedding parties as doors were left open from weddings both nights and we felt that this should have been kept seperate for the private guests of the hotel. we had ordered food both nights and ate with wedding parties guests everywhere in the lounge.. fair enough some people from a wedding may come into the longe for a few quiet drinks but when the doors to the hallmwere loft open this left the wedding guests take over the longe as well as their hall which was equipped with a private bar for their own use.

"OK, best hotel in chesterfield, they are only competing with out 2 or 3 hotels. "

Lovely grounds

It felt like it was trying to be something it was not, fancy food on the menu, but once served it was a different story. Unknowledgeable staff who didn't anticipate your needs. Restaurant was far to expensive, and bar snacks were poor, what was ordered was different to what was recieved.

"excellent value for money and good quality hotel."

Quality of Room and leisure facility

"Excellent value for money - really feels like a 'home from home'. Previous reviewers have complained about the long walk and numerous stairs to rooms within the hotel itself so I'd recommend them to take one of the appartments which isn't all that much more than paying for a double room. The appartments are just a minute's walk away from the hotel but set within its grounds and have a separate entrance and car parking area. There were two wedding receptions occurring during our stay, so we were pleased to be away from the noise. We did venture into the residents' bar later, but this was being used as a thorough-fair from one of the wedding receptions so our intended 'quiet drink' was beset by loud thumping music. I found staff 'business-like' rather than 'friendly' as other reviewers had described which is perfectly fine but breakfast arrangements were not explained and upon checking out was not asked if we had enjoyed our stay. I'd definitely return however, providing the appartments were available."

We had booked the 'luxury appartment' which was indeed of a very high standard, brand new fixtures, tastefully decorated - especially enjoyed the bright tiled bathroom, large bathtub on floor of bedroom with several fluffy rolled towels and comfortable living area. The situation a short walk from the main hotel ensured privacy and an undisturbed night's sleep. Bed super comfortable!

More or less nothing, except we had planned to self cater and did so but the cooking area is quite small with inadequate pots & pans if there's more than one of you. Crockery for eating, cutlery and glassware more than adequate in fact very nice however. A microwave was advertised though we didn't find one.

"The greeting from the receptionist on arrival was very welcoming after a 3 hour drive, the hotel is full of charm & character with many original features. Evening meal and breakfast were really good and overall service from staff was superb. Room service menu is held at reception, so take it with you to your room when you arrive!"

The bedroom & bathroom were spacious and comfortable.

Mattress was too soft for me, but that's a personal thing.

"Good stay at the hotel nice staff and good food. Room was perfect. Every thing was as I expected"

Good food

Nothing

very large and spacious,luxurious decor and very clean

"The building and grounds were lovely and well kept, so the environment was very pleasant. The staff were friendly, helpful and thoughtful without being intrusive. The food was excellent."

Lovely building and grounds

"The bed was very poor quality in comparison to the rest of the room and furnishing. The food served in the restaurant was nicely conceived but poorly executed - e.g. chicken overcooked, very very weak coffee - generally it was pub food but at restaurant prices. While the staff were friendly, the service wasn't what we expected for such an upmarket setting. We had a discounted rate for the room and so felt we got ok value-for-money - if we had been paying full rates, we would not have been satisfied."

Beautiful setting, manor house was lovely. Room was beautifully decorated.

Bed. Food served in the restaurant.

"Really good value, excellent restaurant, lovely garden; no complaints."

Traditional hotel with modern amenities

The room was a long walk from the reception

"Great building, grounds and facilities. The included dinner was not of great standard, veg under-cooked and re-heated, although i suppose it was reasonable value for money compared to B+B only option. Can be a bit noisy/hectic due to wedding/functions. Overall would recommend, but maybe look to eat elsewhere if hotel is busy !"

The Building and gardens, good value for money. Decent breakfast choice.

Dinner

Accomodation excellent and service very very good.

My only little complaint is that the bacon for breakfast was a little cool. Visitorwise a greta stay.

the carpet should be cleaned

Very good food !

With 3 weddings on ,non wedding guests feel a bit in the way !

"Excellent location ideal for families or couples of any age. Dress up or low key , no hassle."

Very pleasant location,ideal for the wedding. Clean and bright

I liked the flexibility of staying in an apartment, also the situation was out of the hotel building but discreetly in the grounds

"It may be useful for other guests if mention were made of the fact that there is no lift and that there are a number of short flights of stairs to be negotiated when moving around the hotel as well as the initial flight of stairs to the first floor. The hotel staff went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and the service in the restaurant was excellent as was the food."

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with plenty of storage

location and friendly/ helpful staff

"Generally a good overnight stop. Good, clean accommodation and pleasant, helpful staff."

Very clean and functional

Awkward trip from reception to room

"Very good, although the room service waiter said it was a none smoking Hotel and said I could not smoke in a pre booked smoking room. He did ring and apologise."

The bathroons

Stairs with luggage

"Restaurant food was very good. Only complaint was not having separate shower facility and bath being in the bedroom."

Room was clean and quiet setting

Having a bath in the bedroom itself without separate shower facility

"We were impressed with the service we received and the quality of the food as there were only eight guests in total in the hotel. It would have been very easy for the staff to coast along doing very little but they kept up a very high standard. It was a pity we did not know before we arrived that the spa closed at 4pm on New Years Day. We arrived too late and were disappointed.I swam the next morning and had the very inviting pool to myself."

Good sized, clean rooms with some character and good facilities ie hair dryer, tea making etc. The dining room and other areas of the hotel were also pleasing.

"The check in process was fairly poor - we couldn't check in until after 3 and then the luxury upgrade my daughter had ordered as a surprise for my husband's birthday wasn't in place. Visitor than that hotel was excellent - great food and a lovely atmosphere.The pool and leisure facilities were also particularly good."

beautiful hotel, with spa bath and four poster bed in our room

"We booked on a dinner,bed and breakfast basis for one night which was very good value.The hotal had lots of character and convenient for our onward journey down the M1 the next morning."

Nice size room and loveky Christmas decorations

A character hotel in a chaming listed building. The room was fantastic and a good size. The leisure facilities were first class.

There was nothing to dislike

The facilities and surrounding were very pleasant

The hotel was very busy, which made checking in & out with only one receptionist a lengthy process

"Very pleasurable and relaxing."

Clean, Tidy and very well decorated - didn't feel like a travel lodge

CLEAN BRIGHT HOTEL

SERVICE IN BAR AREA ATROCIOUS

"I would have thought that the internet connection would have been free with the cost of the hotel room, although it had a hourly cost. The hotel was lovely with nice grounds. The staff were really friendly and polite and the food was excellent....This hotel would be somewhere that we would consider booking our wedding reception!"

A very warm, homely setting. The Food in the hotel was excellent.

We had a room with wireless internet connection, although we had to pay by the hour. This should be included in the price, surely!

A listed building sympathetically restored retaining many original features. A very good evening meal and good leisure facilities. Lovely gardens well kept. Good outdoor terraces etc. Staff were very welcoming and helpful.

As a listed building there is no lift and the room was up and down a number of steps. Would not have been suitable for those with impaired mobility. A number of functions were being held on the night we were there, this meant that residents' evening meal was held in a small dining room with set times for eating. Not a major problem.
