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

Disappointing

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Completely unacceptable

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.

Happy Place

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

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.

It was a one off experience

There is extensive parking which is a benefit. The first impression when walking into the lovely building is of an unloved and uncared for property. There clearly has been a lot of thought put into the decor in the hotel's past however scuffed and chipped paint on the doors and old *fashioned unmatching carpets add to the sinking feeling. The bedroom furniture is out of date and tired. The bathroom well at least it was clean however the tiles and fittings are so outdated and tired looking with the grout in the shower/bath being moldy. Nobody wants a corner bath from the 1980's in peach. Going into the restaurant you have a small bar with tired and ripped flooring behind it - not great when in an area where food/drink is being transported and you require highest hygiene standards. Service - slack and non attentive. Food quality - started off really well with a nicely presented starter which was tasty main course was OK. However a request for sauces and vinegar resulted in me having to go to the bar and asking for it as there was nobody present in the restaurant. The result of my request was a plastic bottle of vinegar and a plastic bottle of ketchup. I did not have breakfast at an additional cost of £15 my expectations following the experience to hand would not have been met. The expectations for the price of the stay were not met. The lack of uniform and formality within the venue does not meet the expectations of paying the price of an upgraded room.

First room I checked into seemed cold and damp and there was a constant noise of the cistern running Quickly changed to another room thus one was cold and took a good few hours to warm up I left the heater on all night. Cleaners came twice to clean my room at 10am and at 10.49am check out is 11am Food lovely and well presented. Staff friendly lovely old building
