The continental breakfast offered here includes plenty of outstanding items.

Simply nothing too much trouble, pleasant stay. Amazing food, amazing service and stunningly beautiful view to the village. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Marvellous location to Duffield Castle. Positioned in the very very nice area, right by the restaurant as well as Derbyshire.

The venue's position was central.

The breakfast here is particularly good and tasty, and the glorious views add to the experience.

Superb views, appreciated nice and unbeatable setting.

We ate at a particularly good restaurant for breakfast.

Breakfast was savoury and hot, I greatly enjoyed almost everything.

The bed was comfortable, and overall the room was well-equipped.

This place offers a peaceful and quiet setting.

Large and updated room and impeccably clean bathroom with a shower and corner bath. Terrific service and decent value.

Good value, it met the needs.

The staff were very welcoming and there was convenient on-site parking offered.

I love the beautiful old house and the big rooms.

That the fireplace in the Dawning Room, in snow and cold now also during my second stay, was not lit, although it is advertised.

Nice big room, big bathroom, wonderful house and very beautifully situated in a quiet area.

Bathroom was very cold, could not turn on the heating.

The location of the hotel is exceptionally nice and perfect, close to the conservatory of the main building. The staff are incredibly attentive.

We booked this hotel a few weeks in advance as we were attending a wedding reception there in the evening. Our room was extremely spacious, but what looked at first like a king-sized bed was in fact 2 singles pushed together and the bathroom fittings were quite dated. The hotel buildings are very nice and it is a beautiful location, but compared to previous experiences, we did not feel that the quality of the room and service received justified the high price paid (£100), especially as breakfast was not included. Before dinner, the majority of hotel staff were (pre)occupied with looking after the wedding breakfast - we were told that someone would take our order from the other room next to the bar (which was in use by the wedding), but noone came. Dinner was reasonable and well-presented, but expensive for the quality (£35 each for one glass of wine and 2 courses) and we missed the first part of the reception as we were unable to get dinner before the reception started (7.30).

Warm welcome on arrival, friendly & pleasant staff, large room clean & tidy, hotel in nice location overlooking fields.

First stayed at this hotel 10 yrs ago, nothing has changed, hotel (though clean) needs a bit of a revamp, decor a bit tired, had a room overlooking front of hotel, woke up at 1-30 by guests returning from night out and could not gain entry to hotel, also delivery's in the morning started at 6-30 (on a bank holiday) and it was a quiet room.
