Location is great for us. We stayed in Room 3 in the courtyard as we had a small dog with us and they are not allowed in the Main Hotel rooms. We have stayed in this room before - its an excellent size but on the first floor. It seems to have been modernised from when we were last there which was nice. We didn't have breakfast or evening meal there as it is \"hotel prices\". Within walking distance of the hotel is one of the best pubs in Derbyshire - The Hollybush Inn - great beer and grub.

I stayed for one night on business. I was looking for somewhere just off the A38 and this was perfect. I was upgraded to a lovely huge room with views over the valley.

Staff were incredibly warm and helpful. My meal was excellent in fact one of the best I’ve had in a while.

The grounds are stunning. I wish I’d had my binoculars as the huge tree next to my room was alive with birds.

Great staff, Okay Stay

The room was a very good size and clean, with refreshments available. The lighting in the room, however, was very low and not ideal for getting ready to use the main mirror in the bedroom. The noise from the family staying in the room above was clearly heard throughout the night, each time the children ran and the adults walked across their room. The floorboards creaking was very noticeable and meant we did not get much sleep. The morning breakfast was okay, but did not offer much as vegan options, and the coffee machine was not working. The staff at reception were very helpful, polite and welcoming.

We loved our room which was spacious, clean and very cozy!
We both had a good nights sleep too.

We are both vegan and had a lovely vegan breakfast that was hot, fresh and delicious!

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 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

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.

I have stayed at Makeney Hall five times now which says a lot. This time I was with my dog and also a friend. I booked two rooms which Expedia said were, \"in the courtyard (briliant) pet friendly and on the ground floor\". Upon arrival, I was told that both rooms were on the first floor. I explained what Expedia said and reception fixed it so my friend would be on the first floor and me and my dog couldl be on the ground floor. Due to this, despited being told that the room would be ready after three, me and my dog's room ended up being ready around 5 p.m.
For us, it was fine but other travellers might have been upset. Also, after enquiring from reception the time for breakfast, we were told that it would be from 7 a.m. as the next day was Monday. We arrived at around 7.40 to be told that as it was a bank holiday it would be starting at 8. Again, not the end of the world but we are reasonable people and some aren't. We had to eat in the beautiful drawing room which is a fair way from the non friendly restaurant. If I had been travelling alone, this would have been a problem. Also, the drawing room was not set up for our breakfast and so I had to strip a table in the restaurant of napkin, knives and forks. Again, bot the end of the world but I thinik that it can make pet owners a bit ostracized. I still love Makeney Hall and will stay again. This is constructive criticism, only I will always recommend this fabulous hotel.

Fawlty towers in belper

All I can say is they are very good at photo shop, the pictures on all booking sights are misleading, if your expecting an exutive room be in for a surprise, a small dank room that smelt of mothballs, the decor hasn't been updated since the great war, a bed so small and hard even one of the seven dwarfs would struggle to sleep in it, you would get a better night's sleep on a park bench using a pigeon as a pillow and using the Sunday times as the quilt, the beds were 2 singles pushed together and a nylon sheet on top, upon inspection one off the mattresses was soiled, slept on only one single bed, I tried to complain but the manager was harder to find than Lord Lucan, the hotel room electrical appliances and lamps safety inspections were years out of date, so if your looking for a soviet era Moscow hotel experience in the beautiful Derbyshire country side, come visit the USSR Fawlty towers in belper, avoid at all costs!!! Only positive was the exit road and the views

Disappointing visit!

The hotel itself is nice; our welcome by Reception staff was good, and check-in was quick and easy.

We booked an Executive Twin Room. The bedroom was nicely decorated, however the bathroom was in need of an update as well as a thorough clean! Blue liquid was on the back of the bathroom door and across the back of the bath, and dust had gathered on the back of the door, clearly visible when it was closed. There were cobwebs and a dead spider above the shower too.

The mattresses were pretty hard and the pillows could have been better quality, and a nice touch would have been to provide dressing gowns in the closet.

The service in the bar was pretty bad too - I tried three times on my first visit to the bar to locate somebody to serve us, eventually going to Reception, and then was completely ignored for 4-5 minutes on the second visit by staff working in the restaurant until I had to go inside and ask if anyone was serving. All in all a pretty disappointing visit, especially for a hotel that is not inexpensive!

I booked the wrong day due to my dyslexia and I made the staff aware. They made no effort to assist me to change it so I paid over £100 to not stay in a hotel. I love being disabled in the UK it's the best

Comfortable property and good value rooms in a nice setting. Friendly staff. Would say some of the furniture and fittings a little bit tired, but well maintained and spotlessly clean. No issues and would stay again.
