We stayed for 1 night for a special occasion. On arrival we were told that the spa was closed for an event which was very disappointing as I booked this hotel because of the spa & had planned to use the pool & sauna. This should gave been communicated at the time of booking. The building and grounds were impressive but on arrival our featured superior room was freezing cold. The reception turned on the heating at our request but this should have been done hours before our arrival given that it was 8 degrees outside. We sat for an hour in the room with our coats on before asking for a portable heater due to the radiators being only lukewarm. The room never really got warm & when we came back from dinner at 9.15 the heating had been turned off again & we had to ask for it to be turned on again. The food in the restaurant was very good & the servers were lovely but unorganised. We planned to have a drink in the hotel bar but it was so cold that it was empty and not comfortable to stay. I heard kore than one staff member complain about the cold in the hotel. What could have been a very pleasant stay was spoiled by the cold. Unfortunately, we will not return.
Service and cleanliness was very good. However, it did not say anywhere that we had to pay an extra 40 pounds per person for the “spa” (which are the pools and amenities). When we booked, it looked like everything was included. When I asked the reception about this they just said that it was not their problem and just gave excuses about they being in the middle of changing systems and said that if we were not obligated to pay if we did not want to. But the whole point for us to book this hotel was to have a spa day, so would be pointless for us to go there to just sit in our rooms. Not worth it at all for the price you pay and the 40 pounds extra per person on top. Although the room was clean, it was extremely small and there was a constant noise that was on and of every couple minutes that disturbed our sleep heavily. The loudness meant we had barely any sleep. Overall would not recommend, extremely overpriced and overrated.
We used to live this hotel since December 2023. This time during our stay the bathroom curtain was very stingy and it’s bad smell spread all over the room.
The staff and other facilities are always good. If they take little more care of cleanliness then it would be commendable.
As my friends and I were travelling by train from different areas of the UK the hotel was an easy meeting place.. We all found our rooms very clean and,spacious..The staff
were extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. Nothing was rushed and all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
If you want a budget hotel this fits the bill.The room was clean bed very comfortable - extra pillows in the wardrobe and tea and coffee making facilities - Just of M1 - so if you are travelling very convenient. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked - good value. Staff were very polite and welcoming and will definitely stay again
Staff brilliant. Value brilliant. Absolute bargain.
Hot Breakfast was average which was an extra tenner but it had a good selection of cereal, toast, yoghurt. Rooms were basic but in a good way. Everything you need for a cheap stay. Clean. Only small gripe was pillows weren’t the best so next time I’ll bring my own. Some may like the more flat pillows. Thanks IBIS derby.
The location of the hotel is very good, very close to the attractions we are going to. The front desk of the Inn is the restaurant and bar, which is very interesting. The room we stayed in was large and the decoration was new, Italian style. The restaurant in this hotel is awarded almost every year and the food is delicious.
This is an old hotel, but the room is warm, the location is excellent, in the center of the town, there is a very good Italian meal not far away. Hotel spa is also great!
Very Good

Amazing
GGuest UserThe hotel itself was very nice. The room was large and comfortable (maybe too warm at times). The room facilities and freebies and bathroom was very nice and felt quite luxury. The hotel is in a natural and beautiful area where you can go hiking around it on trail, and there is a pub next door. The breakfast was lovely with varied choice. The restaurant for dinner was expensive but served great food. Parking wasnt much of an issue which made things easier. All in all a great experience, and the value for money was brilliant. My only downside was that its difficult to travel anywhere without a car from the hotel. No complaints otherwise.
GGuest UserGreat location and room came with more than enough facilities for our stay. We were really impressed with the shower and homemade food. Thank you for making our birthday visit special
