Pros:

Martin, Micheal our two waiters at breakfast also housekeeping nothing was a trouble. We arrived to a beautiful scene of the lake and Hall. We enjoyed the peace and tranquilty of the Hall in which we were in great need. We would like to visit again at some stage.

Cons:

Room was a little dated and looked out to a less then perfect vue , although the furniture and bathroom had everything we could want and the size of the room was perfect.

Overall, we had a lovely stay at Hardwick Hall.
Pros:

The room, bathroom and bed were extremely spacious. It had everything we needed. The Hall was decorated beautifully, and had some old artefacts (cheese press) in the restaurant which I thought was a lovely touch. The view of the grounds and lake is stunning.

The staff in reception, bar and restaurant were polite, friendly and well dressed. Even though the Hall was hosting 2 weddings, it was clear that the staff were busy but the restaurant staff gave each table some light conversation which, in my mindset, made the evening meal more enjoyable.

Finally, the food presentation was beautiful and tasted as good as it looked.

Cons:

We really enjoyed our stay however our room was located towards the marquee so even though it wasn't close to the Hall, the music was still very loud, way past 10.30pm. Personally, I wouldn't complain to Reception because I wouldn't spoil someone's big day, however it has made me mindful to consider this for any future bookings the location of the room. Luckily I had a few drinks so I fell asleep before the music stopped.

One other point I wasn't happy with, was the 2 chairs at the window (which were very comfortable) had water mark stains on the sitting surface. I noticed this later in the evening when the main light was on. I felt a bit dirty because I'd been sat on one of those seats while I enjoyed the view when we first booked in, I can only hope these stains were made by split drinks. I informed the Receptionist when we booked out, so we wouldn't be blamed for the chairs. There was no apology or anything.

On a smaller note, ask for a left handed cup or standard cup. The cups are modern and beautiful and I thought they were very comfortable to hold but with my partner being left handed he didn't like them.

One small issue. The fire alarm went off during the night and everyone had to go outside. A member of staff came to the door and just said false alarm and disappeared
