The room I had no:16 was average but I am giving the hotel a rating of very good due to the very friendly staff and that the room was very clean Our room was very cluttered To much furniture especially chairs for the room and our window looked straight onto a courtyard with tables so the people could see us in our room so we had to shut the wooden shutters that made the room dark This wasn’t a problem as we were straight in and out but may cause a problem for someone wanting to spend time in the room Maybe some privacy sticky stuff on the windows would be better Check in Was quick and they let us have our rooms earlier than check in time The receptionist was very welcoming and friendly Although the hotel is very old fashioned I would stop here again Great location to markeaton park and lovely chippy/pizza place around the corner that is open till late Although the room was old fashioned it is Georgian house so a modern feel wouldn’t suit the name The bathroom is modern clean and new looking I would stop here again due to the cleanliness and friendly staff
This place has made it to our favourite stay yet! An amazing old building, super quirky. Not perfect, but that’s how we like it! We felt welcomed and relaxed as soon as we stepped through the door. Our room had a wonderful four poster bed and had one of the most comfortable mattresses we’ve slept on, even at properties costing 2 or 3 times as much. We didn’t eat there but are planning to next time as the food smelled delicious. The pub downstairs was great with an excellent selection of beers and ales. Lots of photographs and items which adds to the charm of the building. We now have a great place to stay to attend gigs and events in Derby at a great price.
