the building whilst quite old is also a little tired in some areas and could do with an element of refurbishment. The building is a beautiful hall in even more beautiful setting. The staff were absolutely wonderful and could not have been bettered, So friendly and helpful. Even the two weddings the hotel were catering during our stay did in no way interfere with our long weekend. We had a great time and we already know we will be booking again.
Makeney Hall was an ok place to stay. It was a long way from great but equally had some very good points. The staff were all helpful and friendly and on arrival I was given an upgrade which was a brilliant surprise, and very much appreciated indeed! The room was large and comfortable, bed comfy but pillows were really hard and not great at all. Weak shower flow and toilet wasn't very clean (stained quite a bit brown, I wouldn't let my toilet at home get like that...). The hotel is really very tired and crying out for some TLC; painting, decor etc. It's a real shame as the building is lovely and is steeped in local history. The gardens are beautiful and a lot tidier than the house! Food is ok but the full English breakfast is fantastic, one of the best for sure which I highly recommend! So all in all, sadly a few negatives but also some good positives too. If I returned I would definitely take my own pillow! Belper is a super place to visit, right on the edge of the peaks with some stunning countryside and lots to do.

Unfortunately our room was above the function room and there was a wedding on. The dico was very loud so we couldn't think about sleeping until after midnight when the disco finished!
The shower was very poor as you had to hold the attachment in your hand. I couldn't use it as there were no grab handles or slip mat! The bed was far too soft for our liking .... you could feel the springs!
We arrived at breakfast half an hour before service finished so fried eggs were solid and they had totally run out of butter!
On the positive side. The rooms were very spacious in the main building. We were also able to check in at midday rather than 3pm as we had arrived early to park the car and go to a different venue for a wedding!
Apart from the solid eggs and lack of butter the breakfast was good.
The grounds are beautiful. Food top notch. Best scrambled eggs ever rooms nice and clean. I wish I had another day here to poke around and explore properly
The hotel is lovely, it was a country estate in the past and the setting is very beautiful, with views of the countryside and the weirs of the river derwent. In grounds of the hotel there was an area, quite close to the hotel where old fridges, furniture and rubbish had been dumped partially hidden by trees. Which was very disappointing. The room were given was a disabled room. When the shower was running , the drain sounded like a duck was trapped in the drain and the sink was very small and low to the ground and so and made shaving tricky. We could hear people moving around upstairs and the floor creaked especially when the guests engaged in bedroom gymnastics. Saying that we enjoyed our stay but would be careful when booking a room if we stayed again
Location and grounds were very nice but interior a real let down. Bed was extremely springy and uncomfortable, the worst I have ever experienced. Room itself was not great overall.
The room was separated from the neighbouring room by a internal anointing door and you could hear every word that the neighbours were saying and they were not quite, we paid extra for a king size bed but we were given two single beds pushed together and one was at least 3 inches higher than the other as shown in pictures. The room was like something out of a 70 time warp and it was not clean the carpet was dirty the staff were nice but it in no way made up for its shortcomings.
Very lovely enclosed courtyard and parking area that was safe for dogs - lovely staff and facilities. Could offer dog food perhaps as some pubs do now!! (dog friendly sausage & mash for example)
We have been staying at the hotel for the past 15 years. We also recommend it to family and friends. We love the location and the appearance and lovely grounds. We hardly spent any time in the hotel on this occasion. Our room was lovely and spacious. The bathroom is looking tired but it is very clean. Breakfast was lovely, and ordered from the table. We feel that the hotel and Makeney is our "happy place". Overall, a lovely stay and we'll definitely be back. Thank you
Beautiful hotel, in beautiful grounds. Second time we have stayed here & the experience was just as lovely as the first time. Fabulous food in the restaurant.
Please go visit the quirky little pub at the top of the hill too! Fantastic ❤️
I stayed for 1 night in February, Very glad I found this hotel. The location, though tucked away, is peaceful and beautiful. I had an very nice room for a bargain price. The restaurant was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Absolutely fantastic place to stay, very helpful staff and moved us straight away when we had a minor issue with our original room. They went above expectations, will definitely be staying again
The room was reasonably priced and adequate
The dinner served in the bar (as we had a dog) was beyond expectations it was so good and the service excellent

Loved the grounds and the surroundings of the hall and was brilliant that we could bring our dog with us (£10 supplement). Comfy bed very warm and cosy bedroom. Very good value and tasty 3 course meal.... But a very cold bathroom with no heating facilities and no toiletries provided (no hand soap/shower gel). But overall a good hotel. Would stay again.
The courtyard rooms are not so good but the service is good. Bed extremely comfy and when I raised an issue itvwas dealt with really well. Staff at dinner were excellent and dinner was very good value and delicious.
