Lodging business in Derby

“We arrived at Hayeswood Lodge under the cover of darkness thanks to a very accommodating late check in policy. Despite the late hour our host was there to greet us with a welcoming smile. We staggered into our room and were instantly thrilled to be in such beautiful surroundings. Cosy and welcoming, with some lovely decor touches - and the chocolate brownies just added that lovely extra touch! The room was clean, warm, very well equipped and extremely comfortable - the Smart TV with Netflix and Prime made relaxing after our drive perfect too. We collapsed happily in bed for a thoroughly restful sleep. Some wonderful homemade treats were provided for breakfast - packaged and bottled so thoughtfully to bring a smile as we opened each item. Homemade granola was delicious, we’d buy that by the sackful if we could! Lovely fresh homemade crumpets with a perfect portion of butter and homemade jam washed down with little bottles of fresh juice - what a way to start the day! We stepped outside to be greeted for the first time in daylight by the beautiful surroundings: peaceful, picturesque perfection! A lovely chat with our host Dan, then the dogs escorted us on a little stroll around the garden which was very relaxed and welcoming, we were lucky enough to see some last glimpses of summer beauty in the flowers and trees. We spent 2 nights at Hayeswood Lodge but could have happily stayed for a week. It was a gem of a find and perfect for a relaxed quiet break away from the madness of day to day life. 5 star accommodation, 5 star location and 5 star hosts Thank you!”

“Lovely Lodge in a great location with a fantastic host! Beach Lodge is super convenient for Derby, Burton, Nottingham and Alton-Towers but also quiet with great facilities onsite, pubs, restaurants and shops are within walking distance, and it feels like being somewhere on the coast rather than in the midlands. The lodge itself is well setup with a good kitchen, large rooms and nice furniture. Rob, the owner, is super attentive and provided a really nice check-in experience. Will definitely be back.”

“A truly excellent place to stay - clean rooms with neat decoration, quiet location yet still very close to the city centre. Highly recommended for bikers due to the off street, high gated parking. I stay in derby about 4 times a year, and this will be my go to place! ( ps I have recommended the place to my work colleagues, who very often stay in the city!”

“Everything was perfect! We stayed in Maple with our doggo, Loki. Everything that we needed was there on arrival waiting for us and the lodge was really clean. Self check in was quick and easy. Bumped into the maintenance man a few times who was really nice. Loki took a liking to him! Great views. Lots of nice walks nearby. If you want a nice Chinese - Lucky Dragon is stunning - best salt and pepper chips ever! The Greyhound was gorgeous for a lovely pub meal or a carvery. Great stay overall, highly reccomend.”

“Owners couldn’t do enough for us amazing relaxed location lodges very well stocked with everything you could need most relaxed week I’ve ever had thank you”

“First visit to a lodge since my wife has been in a wheelchair. The lodge was exceptionally clean, well spaced and adapted for wheelchairs. In a lovely location in the woods with lovely walks and wildlife. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were good facilities on site. Highly recommended.”

“We stayed in a beautiful villa in Lake Garda. Holiday Homes in Italy were fantastic to deal with and provided excellent communication and details throughout the booking process. I would definitely use them again.”

“Basic bed and breakfast. Clean and tidy. Friendly lady running it. She does a great job of making sure everyone has a nice breakfast, with a smile on her face! Has vegan options for breakfast. I brought my own milk and butter though as I suspected there wouldn't be any. Would be really great if plant milk was in rooms, for vegans and a plant butter at breakfast time. But aside from this small thing it was a great stay.”

“great campaign site. Well maintained and friendly staff. We were campaigning in front of the lake with electric hookup. This was our second time camping here. And we have booked again for next year at the same pitch. The amenities are great and all ways cleaner. A nice little shop as well. Very dog friendly. We can't wait for next year already.”

“Fantastic lodges big spacious. This is a fairly newish complex. Beds were comfortable. it would be lovely if the open out lodges with hot tubs had some outside sun loungers, and some sides for the canopy as it was very open to everyone sometimes quite windy. Also 2 of the bedrooms could do with drawers in for your clothes. Just to say this is not a complaint just an observation. Would definitely be booking again. Didn't use the spa centre but it looks beautiful. Had to have the hot tub water changed while we were there they came within the hour and it was emptied, cleaned and refilled straight away and they use hot water to refill so it was up to temperature straight away.”

“Stayed here for 2 nights wish I stayed longer. Everything you could possibly need in the apartments. Clean and attention to detail was good, even had a card from the manager wishing a pleasant stay etc. Staff on the phone were friendly and helpful. Plus free parking always a bonus.”

“With a P Inn you always know what you get. We were a little disappointed that they didn't have any P Plus rooms. But in the nes it was fine. Room smelt a bit damp when we arrived. But cleared after an hour. The breakfast team were one of the best I habe seen at a P Inn. Super friendly, helpful and efficient. We didn't have a car so cant comment on parking. Location was very central. Easy access to everything. Easy to get Uber taxis.”

“From day one this hotel was just perfect! The location is spot on – right next to the Derbion with fantastic transport links, making it really convenient. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impeccable, everything feels fresh and well looked after. The staff here are absolutely brilliant – friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The restaurant is top notch nosh, with great food and service to match. A special shout out has to go to both Pat and George for their incredible customer service. They were lovely, chatty, friendly, and nothing was ever too much to ask. They’re a true credit to the team and made my stay extra enjoyable. Can’t recommend this Premier Inn highly enough – I’ll definitely be back!”

“What an absolutely beautiful place my wife and I have had a lovely time lodge was immaculate you have thought of absolutely everything would encourage anyone to come it’s been an absolute pleasure”

“Location of hotel is brilliant easy access where ever you need to go. Rooms and very clean and homely also the service is brilliant honestly it is next to nothing the staff can’t do enough for you also if you come across a snag they will help you. I’ve also seen the staff run off there feet but still manage to run the hotel when short in numbers all I can say is bravo all well done thank you”

“Stayed here for my time in Etwall and you couldn’t pick a better spot. The location is fantastic and the room itself was nicely decorated and well maintained. This is all second to the first rate service and the friendliest of staff, who were extremely helpful during my visit. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in lovely Etwall.”

“Stayed here for going to a gig in town, clean and comfortable, a short walk or taxi ride to the centre of Derby... staff are lovely, plenty of free parking and a buffet breakfast for £10.75... the scrambled eggs were really good, a good choice of hot and cold food plus there's a bar and the restaurant serves other dishes all day.”

“We stayed here on 29th August 2025. First time we have stayed with this chain, Very pleased with our stay. The lovely gentleman who checked us in couldn't have been any more helpful, highly recommend. The room was clean and suited our needs. The breakfast was lovely too.”

“We went for Sunday lunch. The staff were very attentive and very professional. The food was lovely and hot .The Mundy Arms is so clean well worth a visit. Will be going again soon .Thanks for a lovely time”

“We had an wonderful stay. The rooms were nice and clean and made up in time for our early check in. Emma was very attentive and very friendly made us feel very welcomed and really appreciate all the help she provided. There was a lot of us and she went out her way to make our stay wonderful! I think the lady who cleaned our rooms was Nina and she was so friendly too the rooms were clean couldn't fault anything. Thank you to you both. Look forward staying again in the future”

“Absolutely amazing service , we needed a hotel for the night last minute due to a awful expereince at our accomodation in Nottingham. We turned up late to reception and the guy went out of his way to get us a room suitable for 3 adults. Nothing was too much trouble and we got a fairly good night's sleep. Staff were amazing , so thank you for coming to our rescue after a awful experience elsewhere”

“A nice hotel in the centre of Derby. Rooms were comfortable, especially the executive ones. The buffet breakfast was tasty and the choice was good. The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Every one of them were helpful, supportive and went about their jobs with a smile. On check in we had an issue with the allocated room and they swapped it with no fuss or bother. Fantastic service from start to finish. Thank you for a great stay.”

“Room was ok, shower was a bit stiff. Ok price for the room. Breakfast was good except no fruit which was strange (there were fruit juices). The lady did go and find my son some fruit yesterday without fuss but it did seem a strange request. Reception very friendly. Ask for a ground floor room if you struggle with stairs as ther is no guest lift (there is a service lift).”

“We had such a wonderful stay! Merrick was absolutely incredible. She arranged a late check-out (a true lifesaver after a wedding celebration!), gave us great advice on parking and taxis, and even shared tips about Derby so we could make the most of our time. She really went above and beyond to make sure us two fellow Scots felt at home. The rest of the team were also fantastic. So friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The hotel itself is in a brilliant location, within walking distance of lots of pubs, shops, and the city centre. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower pressure was perfect! I would not hesitate to stay here again and would absolutely recommend it to friends. Merrick is a true gem and an excellent credit to the Leonardo team.”

“I visited here whilst on a business trip and enjoyed my stay, would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Claire made my stay very welcoming, thank you very much Claire keep up the good work!”

“My wife and I had a fantastic Stay. The bathrooms had been newly refurbished and everything was clean We enjoyed a lovely meal in the restaurant, which had good efficient service And the food was very tasty We will definitely be returning Thank you”

“We were very well looked after by the staff after my Dad's funeral back on Jan 3rd. The traditional buffet all went down very well and Melanie had a clear handle on food allergies - everyone was provided for. It was warm and comfortable with ample room for us to get round and speak to people. Keepers Cottage has good parking and is easy to find too! Melanie was easy to contact and clear about what info she would need and when, as we were straight after the Christmas/New Year break. Thank you!”

“Outstanding property would definitely recommend staying here”
