Best country hotel

Amazing! We were initially put in Room 3 which we found a little disappointing for what we had paid. We asked for Room 5 (our very favourite room) and we were delighted to change rooms (although slightly confused why we hadn’t been offered that one first?). Room 5 was stunning and impeccably clean and inviting, although very ( a little too) warm on arrival Our bar meal was excellent, the bar manager was wonderful and kept the real fire stoked all evening which enhanced the cosy pub experience. Breakfast was amazing and the staff as always were exceptional. The homemade shortbread biscuits which we enjoyed with coffee in our room were truly delicious. We live less than half an hour away and this has become our once yearly treat. A truly fabulous country hotel with excellent food and impeccable service. Thanks all!

Lovely historic property, a very quiet and pleasant stay. Dog was allowed in our room only, not to eat. Very comfortable bed and warm room. No fridge in the room, but had tea and coffee facilities, you had to ask daily for milk. Close to plenty of sightseeing and rambling. Hotel also provides fly fishing in season, so will return for this, as perfect by the River Derwent.

Lovely hotel - very cosy and festive over the New Year period. Pretty gardens with a river running at the bottom. Slightly disappointed not to have had a dog bed or any bowls considering the additional dog charge. There was some confusion with the level of service between the restaurant and the hotel which left us waiting for our meal alone in the bar area. However, staff were very friendly.

Was a wonderfully pleasant and comfortable refuge after a long day walking the Peak District. Late afternoon tea in the lounge and a short walk to Grouse and Claret for supper.

A pleasant enough place and very comfortable - but all a little overpriced for what it was considering there are no facilities such as spa or pool. £82 for three courses at dinner felt very steep albeit the food was very good. A hassle having to call reception for milk. Most irritating is that the website and leaflets say they offer discounts for Haddon hall, but when we asked they said they claimed no knowledge of this and said they no longer do them. But the staff were all very nice and the service was pretty good. The location is also great.

Needs some curb appeal.

This is a lovely little hotel. The staff were more than accommodating. However the entrance to the hotel was very disappointing as we’re the grounds. It just needed a good old tidy up and weeded. Such a shame. The breakfast was excellent as was the bar good but the bar menu was very limited and felt like an afterthought to the rather expensive restaurant options.

Unsatisfactory visit

Main doors (heavy oak) firmly closed. Understand current restrictions but no access to the building at all until after 2pm Very unhelpful welcome. Patronising!! Verbal information rushed Confusing information on website regarding evening meal provision. Then 'challenged' because we had not booked for main restaurant on Wed.eve. Very steep stairs - no indication on website Room fine altho bathroom very small. Did not reflect the cost of the room Small step into main room. No warning. I tripped Information booklet - obviously been soaked in something. The unwelcoming closed front doors set the tone for whole experience. We felt that staff did not want to b e 'bothered' ' For the first time EVER, we decided to abort the visit. Two words - UNWELCOMING.OVERPRICED Sorry 'The Peacock' but we have to speak as we find!!
