Breakfast was very good. I was in the annex and it does need some tlc. I would've preferred to be in main building as l remember it from my son's wedding reception when we stayed in 2004. Also heing on my own at my age l felt a bit nervous in the annex alone. I realize there has veen flood problems so hopefully the refurbishment will bring it back to its full glory. Staff were all very welcoming and compliments to chef on breakfast great choice just need marmalade which was a small issue as l had s treat with Nutella but och the calories. Sorry to give the manager a fright though when l overslept andmy son was worried. Hope yo return in 2024. Kind regards and all the best Xmas blessings...Fiona Darwin

The room was much nicer, for this stay, particularly the shower. The parking is also a bonus. Location is convenient, as we only stay for a night away from the kids.
Village Hotel Nottingham offers a warm, friendly environment with a real sense of community.

Car park had a huge dip catching you out if you arrived in the dark. No lighting
Carpets in need of urgent repair in reception and reception not manned , you had to contact them by mobile phone
room was not clean, very dusty, lights blew when switched on and half the bulbs missing. Only one station available on TV. Shower was ok but if you want a bath it will take ages to fill. Not enough sockets for bedside lamps. Sofa needed a thorough clean, curtains needed proper fixing. Due to stay 2 nights only stayed one
Bed clean and comfortable
Have asked for a refund which is not forthcoming
Sadly this was a lovely building which needs a lot of money spent on it
The room needed 90 minutes work to make it good

Although a late booking everything went smoothly, despite the place being in the muddle of a huge renovation.
It didn't bother me, being alone & busy that most of the facilities, eg kitchen, restaurants, Spa etc being out of order; the place is so lovely it stands alone & the rooms beg to have time spent in them.

Beautiful building, good connection to transport links.
Our first impression was of carpets being held together with gaffer tapes it looked very tired. The bathroom was very tatty and needs an update.
It looks like they are refurbishing however I feel our room were not fit for paying customers.

Great value for money. Excellent breakfast, lots of choice. Very friendly, helpful reception staff.
The whole place generally looks good but could do with some love and attention in parts i.e grouting around the shower untidy.
Overall would stay there again and recommend to others.

Man complaining that his room hadn't been cleaned was met by " frigging hell" by a member of staff.
No central heating came on at all...staff said it was on a timer but it never came on. Room was freezing. Reception girl gave us a tiny heated when I complained.
Lights hanging off the wall, no bulb in one near door, wall paper hanging off the wall in bedroom.
No bar open.
No cooked breakfast.
Stale bread for toast. No fresh coffee or tea...flask with water
All packet food.
No napkins, no saucers, no teaspoons. Good set out in one room but no trays to carry it to dining room. No staff to help. One disabled guest had to be helped by us to carry his breakfast to the dining room.Dust you could write your name in on the lamps.

The staff try to intimidate you they double charge me a refused to give me a refund the photos of the place are not to how it looks when you turn up the place is a building site and the breakfast was horrible there is not relaxing about this place I would avoid at all cost
The building is fantastic and is undergoing renovation, so the rooms and plumbing were a little tired, but fully functional. The bedroom was large and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A full buffet breakfast was provided which was excellent. I have no complaints at the price we were charged. I will definitely stop here again when passing. The place is full of character and charm that you wont get at a brand name overnight hotel/hostel.
The room was freezing cold. In need of an update. The spa and food facilities weren't available. It was supposed to be a romantic break for myself and my fiance to celebrate our 1st Valentine's Day together and it was completely ruined. We had no heating and were provided with 2 plug in heaters which were very noisy. We spent most of our time back at home in Ilkeston as the hotel was so depressing. We didn't get the room we booked.
From the minute I opened the door, it was like being home. It’s the best feeling walking into a room with personality and does not feel so bland like many hotels.
There were personal touches to make my stay more comfortable and Hope (the owner) popped by personally to welcome me and say hi.
I’d love to say bad things so no one stops and I always get a room! I simply can not.
The Risley Guest House is a gem.
The hotel was extremely conveniently located for us to visit our son in Long Eaton. It is located in a quiet village and was very peaceful. The staff were really friendly and tried to do their best for us (but see below). Our room was quite large, very quiet, well furnished and nicely quirky (but see below). We were provided with two electric convector heaters to keep the room warm (see below).
I liked the privacy of the patio, the comfort of the room. The furnishings and decor were very homey.
The property was very clean. The host and hostess were very kind and helpful. The countryside was pleasant and Risley is not far from the M1. I will recommend this AirB&B. If I return to the area, I would be very happy to stay here again.

The welcoming and friendly reception staff, the excellent breakfast and the general feel of the place. We loved a walk around the spacious garden of the hotel and although there is no restaurant at the hotel, a 2 minute walk to a nice pub restaurant which served great food. The gentleman and the English lady at reception were fantastic.
Hotel is a beautiful old hotel ..grounds are beautiful but everything is a little faded . Breakfast on the morning was lovely . Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean, but and comfortable..I'd probably say the old house was the best but the offshoot had the bugger rooms and it's quirky
Room was fantastic as there were two separate sleeping areas for our family so it was more like a suite. Lots of character to the hotel and it's tucked away from the main road with nice views from our room. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel so can't comment on that.
Not a lot! The hotel was in need of a lot of major refurbishment, however, this was not indicated on the advertising.
We were not informed that the hotel was mostly closed down with a lack of facilities due to major refurbishment work.
Great location for site seeing in Derbyshire. Extremely dog friendly - both the accommodation and surrounding hospitality venues.
Hope the owner was very welcoming and helpful. We will return again.
The location was good for a break on our journey north. The staff were helpful & friendly. Their restaurant was closed but the short walk to The Risley Park pub was well worth the walk.
Good out-of-the-way location. Ample parking. Clean room. Certain staff very friendly and effective. Characterful building. Good breakfast and excellent value.
