The 30 Best Pet friendly hotel in Derby

“Brilliant real ale pub. 7 available. Drank Castlerock preservation ale mixed with North Riding barley wine. Absolutely fantastic. Happy Days.”

“Amazing 3 course Sunday lunch today. The roast beef was cooked to perfection. Staff were lovely and very accomodating (I am gluten free). Views of the beautiful gardens were great. Have been here many times for Sunday lunch and it is always perfect.”

“Loved the place. superb restaurant, good food choice excellently cooked. Lots of wood burners ,the place oozed warmth and ambience. Plenty of easy parking, comfortable and clean rooms. Every single member of staff was friendly and approachable. Everyone ..without exception.”

“Best pint of Bass I've ever had. Terrific, really terrific, music in the bar. Pop in.”

“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!”

“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.”

“It's nice to have a pub nearby with reasonably priced pints.”

“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 popped in fir a Pizza Pony abd had a drink while we waited. Staff are friendly and there's a good atmosphere.”

“Magnificent. Room size ideal and with Dog well catered for. Only small issue was with Dog, and its understandable we could not eat in a normal dining room with the Dog, the room we could eat in had a really low table lounge table which made it difficult to eat which is why we did not book breakfast as we could not leave the dog alone in room. This did not detract from anything but should be made clear that you cannot eat normally with a dog.”

“First class stay at Holiday Inn Express, great professional service from all staff members. Room and breakfast were excellent as was the shower and room facilities (tea, coffee, towels and toiletries), maid service daily and carried out at a sensible time too. Although the only slightly negative comment would be if you have booked a room with a door to an adjoining room it isn't 100% soundproof, saying that I didn't feel the need to ask to be moved to another room because of it. All in all a very pleasant and trouble free three night stay.”

“Stayed 3 nights. Good value. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Really good food. Definitely recommend”

“Went for the first time for Sunday lunch. Highly recommend. Food was really good and well presented. Staff were courteous and attentive. Beautiful setting. Appreciated complimentary bubbles for special birthday celebration.”

“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.”

“An excellent experience at Hilton House Hotel. My sons wedding was held here and we could not have wished for anything better. Attentive staff, exceptional food and great location made a memorable day. The staff did a fantastic job throughout the day, I cannot praise them enough. The chef delivered food that was outstanding. You probably guessed, I cannot fault this venue. Keep up the good work, I look forward to dining there in the future.”

“Stayed here last night with my son, as we're spending the weekend at Alton Towers. Cannot praise Mary enough, she will bend over backwards for you. Rooms clean, nice shower, beds comfy enough for one or two nights. Don't expect the Ritz, it's a 3 star hotel and the building is over 200 years old. We would (and probably will) stay here again if we visit the theme park again in future. Thankyou for a lovely stay ☺️”

“Well worth the price! The beds and rooms were clean and comfy, the breakfast was great, and the people running it were lovely. They even had a bar with some good draft options (just need to stock up on ice)! Would definitely stay again next time we go Alton Towers or stepping stones.”

“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”

“Room was lovely, bathroom was great, view wasn't brilliant but not an issue. The bar was handy and breakfast in the morning was delicious and very welcome. We'll return the next time we're in Derby”

“Refurbished since I last came, the hotel is nicer than before and a bargain compared to similar hotels nearby. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is excellent value for money. Would definitely book again”

“My 2 dogs have been going here for years Mary's lovely and excellent value for money!”

“Great location, had a problem with our kettle, but the very helpful reception guy came and sorted it really quickly. Room clean and comfortable, beds always comfy.”

“We were very surprised to see the hotel after seeing a 7.5 star rating! It's absolutely gorgeous, proper high end, but the prices don't reflect that. At £75 for a room with two breakfasts was ridiculously cheap for what we got. The hotel was magnificent, the room large, comfortable, well equipped and clean. Breakfast was tasty, hot and well cooked. We paid an awful lot more for much less. We'll be staying again”

“We had a delicious afternoon tea. The staff were lovely and attentive. A beautiful, atmospheric dining room.”

“Very nice hotel, very good service one year lived this hotel thanks for everything”

“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.”

“I stayed at Dannah Farm Country House for a short solo getaway, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful, restorative experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I arrived, everything about the place invited calm—from the stunning countryside surroundings to the thoughtful details inside the accommodation. The room was spotless, cozy, and felt like it was designed to hold you gently through whatever kind of rest you needed. The private spa area was truly the highlight for me—soothing, quiet, and exactly what I didn’t know I needed. I spent time in the hot tub surrounded by stillness, and it felt like the world slowed down just enough to breathe again. The staff were warm and kind without ever being intrusive, and breakfast was lovely—fresh, delicious, and prepared with care. This place isn’t just beautiful—it’s thoughtful. It holds space for rest in a way that feels rare these days. I left lighter, calmer, and incredibly grateful. Highly recommended, especially if you need somewhere to reset.”
