The food and staff were very good. We had a delicious dinner in the evening. It was a very busy and lively pub but not causing any noise issues as a lot of the rooms are at the back in the extended area. There was plenty of parking too. However, the bed was very uncomfortable. The mattresses were very worn out, with dips in the middle and you could feel the springs. I think i would have slept better on a plank of wood. It is good value for money though and Belper town is quite noise with plenty of independent bars and shops.

Favourite hotel but....

We love this hotel. Friendly staff, great location, bar and restaurant excellent. The basic rooms are a bit small but the deluxe are really good. This time we stayed in the suite. The room never got very warm and the decor is tired. Please consider giving your main room a face-lift!

A little bit disappointed

The breakfast was very disappointing. It was supposed to be a continental breakfast. When we arrived 30mins before breakfast finished there was no fruit and 1 slice of cheese, one croissants and the drinks were cold.We asked if they we going to replenish it. They only brought out some fruit and one type of cheese. With a continental breakfast you do usually expect a range of cooked meat and cheeses aswell as youghurt and pastries and a choice of hot tea and coffee.
