Good staff.
Very tired looking.
Excellent location for exploring Derbyshire with a lovely dining room & good evening meals.We had a Court Yard which was away from the main hotel. The staff were all friendly & willing to assist.
The alternative dining room used on our first night lacked atmosphere whilst the stair case to rooms 3 & 4 need a good clean which we informed staff.
Staff were polite and helpful, especially the young waiting staff at breakfast. Bed was comfortable. The public areas were impressive and historic
These comments are made in the context of room 2 which cost over £152 for one night, and mostly also apply to my companion's single occupancy (room 1), also over £152 per night.
The rooms (rooms 1 and 2) were in an annex across the car park. This was acceptable but was not mentioned until arrival.
The wash basin had a a gentle slope towards the user, combined with high water pressure, soaking my clothes.
The room was shabby, in desperate need of redecoration.
The room was dark and gloomy.
The TV did not work; the following morning I discovered a master switch out of sight behind the TV, some 6 feet up from the floor.
The Shower did not work until a search discovered a main switch in the entrance hall.
The cleaning could have been better.
All in all, completely unacceptable for the price.
Building was beautiful and room was dust free, staff were lovely, and plenty of parking available, grounds were very pretty. Breakfast was ok - coffee in jugs was awful, thankful for the coffee machine although only offered dairy milk no alternatives.
Mattress clearly needed replacing, was so soft I only managed 3 hours sleep due to sleeping on a hill as husband had created such a dip it was impossible. We swapped sides halfway through night as body was really unhappy. And it squeaked dreadfully.
Sheets were good quality and it was a king sized bed. Shower over bath was not powerful and when you have long hair rinsing takes a long while. No fan in bathroom which was noticeably missing as on entering room 7pm ish it didn’t smell fresh.
Overall whole hotel needed an upgrade, and deep clean.
Breakfast had ok selection, pastries were good, sliced bread was cheap sort, fried/poached eggs dried up and mushrooms tasteless. Bacon and sausages ok…
We paid £149 for room and breakfast didn’t feel good value compared to what else was around.
Breakfast very good
Loved the building and the staff were superb.
Short staffed. Long waits for drinks at the bar as an event was going on as well and the staff were stretched to cover everything. Beautiful building, but the gardens and the building needs some money spending on them and a bit of tlc.
Nice building with comfortable room in older buildings which was nice.
Ok breakfast
Rats running around the grounds and to the back of the building around bins.
Court accommodation doesn’t look great from what I saw.
Great location, 2nd room was excellent.
First room had faulty tv & no towels, moved to another room (room 21) which was excellent.
The ambience and the porter staff who was very very helpful, as I was disabled he managed to get me a different room straight off the lift
The food was up all night with a upset stomach and that was all I had to eat
There was nothing we liked, everything we expected fell short of expectations
The room was very poor for what we were told was an executive king, bed comfortable, pillows poor, furniture poor, bathroom very poor. Dinner menu did not resemble the online menu vied before we booked.
The old building and conservatory, plus the room with the antler ceiling light. Lovely grounds.
Shower and taps water flow a but slow.
Went to the afternoon tea in aid of Breast Cancer awareness. What a treat it was. Absolutely delicious sandwiches and cakes. Scones were fresh and pillowy and there was plenty of cream and jam. A glass of pink Prosecco added to the festive feel.
The staff were attentive and looked very smart in the bright pink polo shirts for the occasion.
Roger ensured we were supplied with plenty of tea and made us feel really welcome.
Well done Makeney Hall for supporting this worthy cause. Keep up the good work!!!
We received a warm welcome and wonderful service from all the staff throughout our stay; nothing was too much trouble..
Our room was very clean and comfortable too and the breakfast was really lovely
We will definitely be back - thank you 😊
Nothing at all; everything about our stay was lovely
