Hotels near Derby Theatre, Derby

First room allocated and the tv didn’t work but staff kindly moved me to another room. Unfortunately the next morning at 8:30am there were workmen in the corridor replacing the ceiling tiles so there was loud hammering, drilling and sawing. The hotel manager refunded me 1 night stay but I don’t understand why they would use the rooms if there was repairs going on. Leaving the room I had to step over paint pots and tools.

The location is ideal for Derby centre and surrounding area, my trip is mainly business and I always look for value for money and comfort, travel lodge have come a long way in recent years and staff have become very good at keeping the customer happy, this travel lodge ticks all boxes for me, welcoming, comfy rooms with everything needed and apart from the toilet roll holder being set very low, everything was set for a great stay, staff at this branch go out of their way to make a pleasant stay, Julia, Ellie and Emma should take credit for being great hosts and doing a brilliant job.

We came to stay for 1 night for an event at our daughters University. We was not sure what to expect initially but first impressions were ok for the price paid. We only spent around an hour there after a 5 hour drive before heading to the event we came for so we were tired and didn’t check around the room or anything. Upon our return, we noticed that the extractor fan was not working and not switch on any wall to control it then also noticed the screw for the shower rail was loose enough that it is only just hanging on. It was also very warm inside the room but there is no air con or even a fan to speak of so had to sleep with the windows open. The place was also very dusty in obvious places like the light fixings and the top of the mirror etc. And also a lot of mould/mildew around the bath and taps, which when wiped, a lot came off easily. We decided that we were going to report the issues to the staff in the morning. We sadly had very little sleep as the room above us seems to have had very squeaky floors and the occupants were up late and arose early. Before we ever leave a hotel, we always ***** the bed and sheets and put them into the bath for the cleaning staff. This is when we found old blood stains on the quilt and questionable yellow stains on the mattress and mattress protector. I had to come to the conclusion that the cleaning staff are clearly not cleaning to a high enough standard and are rushing through everything. It’s a shame as we cannot warrant staying here again and will look for elsewhere in future. The redeeming factor was the staff who seemed very pleasant and friendly. Although the only staff we did see were inside the pub on arrival and on exit.

Lovely stay from Thursday to Monday. The hotel was lovely and the staff couldn't be more helpful, in particular Theresa and Jose. The food was excellent with lots of choice. Great swimming pool too. Would highly recommend a stay here with plenty of attractions nearby.

Lovely location, (pretty village) lovely grounds and impressive entrance. However, we weren’t in the main hotel. The room was large but old fashioned. The roof sloped at the sides which we banged our heads on several times. The window was small which made it stuffy and it was very dark, no main light in the bedroom only lamps. Bed was king size and comfortable. The room and bathroom was clean. We used the restaurant once for dinner and we had 2 breakfasts and the food was nice and reasonable priced. Breakfast was self service (as ours was included) with a good and plentiful variety. The staff were friendly and helpful but professional. We didn’t use the pool in the end as it meant going outside and back inside, as our room was not connected to a covered route to the pool. Nothing really to complain about but we did expect the room to be a bit more luxurious. Slightly overpriced for the room. I expect the price was based on the available amenities.

It's a very good hotel. I really like it. The environment and hardware are very good. The location is superior, the scenery is beautiful, the service is considerate, the praise is great. I will stay next time

Enjoyed a wonderful relaxing Xmas break at the Boars Head. Nice big comfortable bedroom with king size plus bed. The food was exceptional throughout and the service provided by Gabby and her team was top class, with breakfast in particular very acceptable Plenty of space to play scrabble warmed by log fires in the lounges, ample parking and great location to travel by car. Yes we extended our stay by one night as we enjoyed the stay so much. Booked again in March for the wife`s birthday and really looking forward to a return visit.
