Makeney Hall  

Peaceful setting, large rooms and good breakfast

Comfy rooms,friendly staff, excellent location.

We stayed at the Makeney Hall Hotel to attend a wedding. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Questions we asked after we had booked were answered and all adhered to when we arrived. Our family room was comfortable and clean. It was a joy to stay in the hotel. Excellent place for a wedding too!

Adequate.

Beds could have been much more comfortable.

we upgraded to the briday suite which was a lovely big bright room. Super views of the gardens outside. Hotel receiption staff were courteous and polite. Especially Kathy on receiption Friday evening.

Lovely big room with comfortable big bed

We thought the large stained area of wallpaper (close to the window facing the door) was off-putting and ruined what would have otherwise been a lovely room. Our main complaint was the breakfasts. My husband chose the full-english both mornings and was unhappy about the meagre amount of food on the plate. On the first morning I chose 2 poached eggs on toast - which arrived dry! (I prefer butter spread on the toast before the eggs are placed on it) and on the 2nd morning I chose scrambled egg on toast (which was not on the toast but on a cold plate with a round of dry toast beside it. It was disgusting! Tasteless, colourless, almost cold and not made with fresh eggs!

its a beatiful quiet gentlemans country retreat

the hotel and staff were excellent

The atmosphere and location was excellent......the staff extremely pleasant and helpful.....even the housekeeping staff most helpful....nothing too much trouble. The smell of burning wood was also lovely and the fireplaces and fires are glorious.

The wedding food was top notch and excellent.......but found the food at breakfast ...mainly the scrambled eggs was below par....too creamy...and no choice of eggs....?fried/poached....the room also requires updating but still in victorian theme....ie ....room felt really old and dowdy with lovely tv put on an old filing cabinet....carpet old.....? Bathroom had paint coming off in various places.. But would not stop me staying there again mind!

Location near the town of Duffield. Very, very comfy bed.

Very expensive breakfast and not worth the money.

We enjoy overall package

Restricted choice on the £25 three course meal. Have already recommended Makeney Hall to my sister, but suggested not booking dinner £25 dinner in advance.

An ideal location for the wedding and party with a room so no need for a taxi...

Location fine for visitng Towns and Houses and Gardens on short break holiday.

Not really upto 4 star rating in my opinion
